"We're All Going On An Easter Holiday"

 

Another "school-kids on an Easter Field Trip to the Mediterranean"  slide. And this one has a clue !

From the Lloret de Mar 1968 set, we have this slide of the assumed travel wagon.  "Glevum Coaches" leads back to Gloucester, so I'm presuming the school was in that area.

Interesting !

Bonus - 

Miss 3737

FINALLY, we get to image number 3737.

And for the mystical numbered slide, we have a... well, my first thought that this is a character sketch for the SchoolMarm at Royston Vaset Primary School.

However, it she appears to be a real live person, from Porter's Grange School.

A scary one.  Slide is marked
Jul 1972 Porter's Grange.

Bonus : Portuguese Navy deploy Reconnaissance Drone. Briefly.

Bonus 2 - HydroDipping

The Playground Newbie

I've never seen that before.

A lad in a Newbie School tee-shirt. Marking out the new lad for extra special treatment.

Or maybe not. Squinting at the image, that might be "Mark Newbie School"...and a few Googles later reveals....   Mark Newbie Elementary School.

Ta-Da.

Bonus - Best.  Crib.  Ever.

Teacher Deterioration

Teaching can be a soul-destroying, thankless task, and this shot displays it well.

On one hand, the fresh faces of enthusiastic just-out-of-college youngsters.

On the other, the wizzened and dead-eyed stares of alcoholics, holding out for a well-deserved retirement.

Bonus - More of Weebl's Owl Obsession

The Hip Geography Teacher

Say hi to Doug.

Doug is, or rather was, the trendiest teacher at Trenton Technical High School. Even when setting up a nature trail, there's nothing stopping him donning his favourite organic leather jacket.  Groovy.

Doesn't he look like Tim, Reggie Perrin's pompous prig of a son-in-law.

Bonus - Fear The Accordian

Edna - Fish out of water

You might be puzzled by the title of the post...but let me explain.

Look at the woman. Doesn't she strike you as the epitome of Edna-ness. Further, just a look at that face tells me she's a school teacher, or more precisely a School-Ma'm. OK, she could be a policewoman, but age and physique suggest not. So a teacher. Off duty, as the clothing isn't drab enough to be work clothes.

Look at the surroundings. Chrome, black leather and mirrors. It's not sleazy enough to be a gay bar, so it's a designer hotel. Something called "The Blomquist" or similar. Classy, yuppyish and stylish.

So why's Edna there?  I surmise that the MidWest Teacher's Annual Conference could book into their usual (The Downtown Hyatt Beige Hotel) so booked the Blomquist instead without much research. Waiting in the foyer for the other delegates, Edna realised that this wasn't the sort of venue she was comfortable in...like a fish out of water.

See. A pictures is worth a thousand words.
