The person
standing on extreme left is Lebanese, the only one not Polish in the
school. I remember him from Beirut, but not his name. He spoke good
Polish even in Lebanon. Great individual. |

Mr Scheybal, I believe the spelling is
correct, was a first class maths teacher. His writing
on blackboard was a work of art. So neat, almost a

'elderly'. |

Lilford, 1957.Oundle
village hall Friday night dance |
|
A
group of us would sneak out the back way and cycle some
four miles to Oundle for the weekly dance. Teachers
didn't know, so we believed. Certainly not Dr Bornholtz,
the head master |

Władek Cichorz, Marian
Jagiełka, Zdziszek Chołaj. |

|
I
remember Gienek Chylek was a frequent visitor. All the
girls had eyes for him. Bright, good looking, would sing
to them and best dancer around. He was also good at
lessons and at all sports. He is on the sport photo. |

Illegal (not supervised by a teacher) swim near
the boathouse next to Lilford Hall. Hiding in the rushes of
river Nene. Just beyond these few rushes there was open water
safe for swimmers and learners. Unsupervised swimming was a
punishable offence. We escaped
