Frome school capers


 As you can see from this photo the main part of the school was based around two quadrangles. A few of us discovered that by climbing on top of some lockers we could access the hatch to the roof space. We spent hours up there with candles and cigarettes. We could hear the lessons going on below. Up there was stored some empty water containers from a Sahara expedition and these we used to urinate in when the need arose. Of course it didn't last - someone put his foot through the ceiling as you had to keep to the rafters. So people were despatched to catch us which they did. It wasn't the end of the skiving though.
