[Margaret Pilkington]

Yes you are right about Miss Croston...the boys were unruly and had her in tears more than once.
She was my form teacher in the third year and the girls in her class felt very sorry for her and we collected the magnificent sum of ten shillings and sixpence and we went on the Market and bought her a fashionable bag to put her classroom notes in.
She taught English and art...in fact she did a picture of me in oils.
My sister took this back to Brisbane when we cleared Ma's house.
