Memories of my final year at OSH
Hi Kevin, thanks for sharing this photo - I "should" be able to name all the staff on this photo - however I fear the years have made most of them to sink deep into the recesses of my memory bank! I was caned by three I can name - but never by Mr Kruwowski - whom I easily knew from this photo. Yes he was tough - but never cruel - some teachers made an art form out of catching kids doing something wrong - I would swear they did it so they could inflict a good caning on the poor soul. It was WELL worth hedging your hand when Bradley caned you just to see him wince when he followed through and hit his own leg - it was normal to get an extra caning if you did that - I did it once or twice. It was a tough place when I was there - glad it has moved on from those days.. Mike Knight OSH 1960 to 1967
