Hello, I am wondering how many steps were there at the old Quarry Bay School? I was there from 1962 to 1966, so I am interested in the school of those years. Thank you! Cynthia
I remember 109. You abs I were there at the same time. Did you have any Pedersens in your class? I have the Sports Day programmer from 1964. Give me your surname then and I can look you up.
I was at Quarry Bay from about 1946 to 1951. I remember the steps and thanks for reminding me they were 109 - I knew there were just over 100.
I have a photo of the children who left in 1951 and went to KGV the following term (see http://gwulo.com/atom/24692). I wonder who recognises any of these children?
Ha! There I am, indeed, above your sister's name--Cynthia Woodman. I guess we tumbled together in the sack race! I remember Wendy Stocks. Thank you for sharing the program list and for suggesting the number of steps!
How incredible to see these steps again. I remember running down them to the bus at the end of term singing “No more English, no more French, no more sitting on the cardboard bench. If the teacher interferes, knock her down and box her ears” circa 1957.
I don't remember that name, no, but thank you for asking. I just remember Wendy Stokes and Elizabeth whose surname I forget. Oh, and Rupert, a little blond boy who was younger than me and whom I took down the stairs at lunchtime as his class was dismissed early--so I went up and down those stairs 4 times/day!

I have found you listed next to my sister Beth Pedersen. Barbara Swan's younger brother Alan was in my class.

I didn't go to Quarry Bay School but I think I remember meeting a boy who did about 1951 or 2 called Lesley Clayeton. Did you know him by any chance?

Hi Ngaire,
I don't remember that name, no, but thank you for asking. I just remember Wendy Stokes and Elizabeth whose surname I forget. Oh, and Rupert, a little blond boy who was younger than me and whom I took down the stairs at lunchtime as his class was dismissed early--so I went up and down those stairs 4 times/day!
Cheers, Cynthia

Thanks so much for your reply, Cynthia. It's amazing what we remember. You must have ended up with very strong legs!
Warm regards, Ngaire
