SCHOOL PLAYS (Help needed)
"I must away and pack my toothbrush". This from the Spyway production of 'Jack and the Beanstalk'.
Does anybody remember any other great lines or have the originals of the Spyway school plays, 'adapted' by Mr Geoffrey?

Some great memories:
- Measles outbreak and playing battleships on Maths paper in bed.
- Catching Mr G sneaking upstairs to Miss Lawson's room late one night - earned me a one-to-one birds and bees talk.
- Receiving a whole box of Smith's crisps. having complained that the little blue packet of salt was allegedly missing.
- Scoring 100 in a cricket match - never done it since!
- Who was Mugwub and why?!
- Watching The Rag Trade on Miss Thomas's TV. Also '77 Sunset Strip.
- Publishing the first school magazine - can't remember what we called it.
- Getting a prize from an amused Mr Grey for making up my Latin numbers - started Uno, Duo, Tres, Quattro, Sink....
- Great maths teacher - Colonel Withers.
- Getting caught by G on the last morning of term having a "midnight feast" at 6am in the New Wing - all because the next door dorm was making a noise.
- Glucose tablets before matches.
- Setting off fireworks under the feet of parents watching the bonfire.
- Growing radishes in my garden to supplement the terrible food.
- Being the comic turn in the school play, a Chinese woman with the line: "it's the most amiable coquetry ever known". Did it for the brilliant teas after each performance.
- Teasing Bev about Mr G being in love with her - whoops! Strangely happy days!
