83uniquegal: Of Rain and Socks

SAC......

Many memories come to mind; some hilarious, some poignant, some well .. just ARE.

One distinct memory I'm sure was unique to our school related to the days when there were heavy downpours, causing mini floods at the bus stop and school compound near the St Joseph's Church entrance. I suppose people would call it 'ponding' these days. ;)

Well, if I recall rightly, this was whilst we were in Sec 2, queen of Lower Sec!
Girls were stranded at the bus stops on Victoria Street: where the chicken rice restaurant was and just outside St Anthony Boys' School.
The good Samaritans that we were...
We would bring umbrellas out and wade through the water to go and help shelter them in. The fun, of course was in the getting wet! Some went out in slippers (how did they get them??); some barefooted.
The common thing though, was that we all got drenched together.

The sight in the air conditioned classrooms, to the shock..amusement...consternation ... of our teachers, upon entering our classroom was to see girls in various states of dress (or undress!)...

Ok ok NO ONE were stripped down to bare...
And the SOCKS were hanging on the aircon vents!!!

Obviously not much got taught in those first two periods!!
