Goodbye Mr. Chips

Well, the 90th anniversary celebrations had to be seen to be believed. Six hundred former students and staff turned up. I bumped into three individuals who’d been on the teaching staff with me in the early 1980’s. What was spooky was that all three individuals looked visibly older than when I saw them last in 1985 whereas my appearence hasn’t changed in the intervening twenty-four years. I found a 1984 staff photo on a display table with me grinning inanely from the front row. The friend who accompanied me to the anniversary celebrations said I look the same now as I did in 1984. Go figure.
