[The listening experience occurs when Maud Clarke was asked to work as a monitor, a paid teaching role, after finishing her own schooling aged thirteen] In a short time we had altogether 3 male, 3 female teachers, and 2 boy monitors and 2 girl monitors, with “The Head” completing the staff to serve the 336 boys and girls. The school board mostly made up of local workers promised a sum of money to meet half the cost of a piano. This money coming of course from the rates. All the staff set to work—a platform was erected at the end of the main room and one teacher painted the scenery back-cloths. The actors were chosen from the staff and the best singers in the school + “Dick Whittington” was well attended by parents and friends for several nights. Now we had a piano. |
