Here are some of the observations made by pupils this year :
"I was looking forward to the trip because I had never been abroad before"
"In Boulogne you do not get the feeling you are out of place"
"People seemed to be speaking dubble-Dutch" but another commented.
"Shopkeepers spoke broken English"
"I spent a lot of money and came back with hardly anythink"
But another "money was no object that day"
"All in all it was a good day"
For every ten boys, one member of staff has to go. It is a very long day, starting at South Harrow station at 7 in the morning and not returning until 10.30 at night. I should like to take this opportunity of thanking all those teachers who have accompanied these groups, and also all those who 'volunteered' to take their classes on the day.
