Elly Mossman:  

I was a spontanious, but extremely insecure kid. I wanted to be part of the "cool" crowd, but never felt as if I really fit in. Probably because I came from another country, although by the time I started grade 1 at Prince of Wales, I felt Canadian. Unfortunately, my parents never did, and they controlled everything about my life. Our Principal, Mr. Law was my own personal boogeyman. I was in terror of the man, although for the life of me, I don't know why. I loved my eighth grade teacher, Mrs. Banting. I remember every single one of my eight teachers Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Thompson, Mrs. Simpson, Miss Sample, Miss Lovett (a British exchange teacher), Mrs. Harris, Mr. Froom (or maybe t was Frome), Mrs. Banting and Mr. Cathers (our new Principal starting 1960) Do any of you remember those teachers and Principals? They're probably all gone now, although some of them were my parent...Expand for more
