he burn of vinegar on my lips beat it down Bond Street to get in school before Mr. French took out the thick, green Latin book and started talking about The Punic Wars. Sometimes I made it other times he visited the strap upon my gravy soaked fingers. Here's an ad from the '56 Feildian.Remember Jack English's taffy(sp) apple shop on either York or Wood Street. He made the best taffy apples. They cost 7 cents and they were delicious. Up on Rawlins Cross was a store called The Book Mark that sold all manner of pencil cases, erasers and the like. Do you remember it? Were there any other stores in the vicinity?

I remember that Connor's was a favourite haunt and that Cyril Bennett (what was his nickname, he never went by Cyril?) for a long time held "court " there. Also my sister tells of how "Spencer girls" were told clearly that Connor's was not the sort of place they were to go - even as the Connor's daughter sat in the class!
Cyril's nickname I believe was "Hopper".
