On the first floor plan rooms 21 and 22 in our day was one room and it was Skip's room. Any more questions - no fee required. Pop 23 May 2008 Bobby Mac I think your wrong about room 22 Dave that was Skips room. Mr and Mrs Goodmans rooms were on the higher level! Paul Walkeden will remember I'm sure.

No 9 Embo's office,with a secret sliding panel leading to staff dining hall No 10 Staff Dining room. No 3 This is were we collected stamps for our letters,had money out of our bank.Tap on the hatch door,and you would be served (can't remember the times for it to be open. No 13 Prefects room,and were the Pinola finished up! as I used to play it when I was on night watchman duty. No 19 By the side off this in the passage way was a set of steps which would take you under room 19,this was the headmasters pantry (Pinhead)His food was cooked in the kitchen,but in the pantry was put on "posh plates" and taken to his quarters by the headmasters boy,and each house had to take it in turn for this duty.Usually this was a well behaved boy that was chosen (lickers)due to the fact that foreign bodies could enter his covered silver ware???that his meal was hopefully protected by this cover from boys in the passage way,that may want to "get there own back" for any punishment he may have dished out!! Just like to quote Angus McGeogh one time headmasters boy. "When we got his dinner we would run like hell up the passage way before the senior boys had nicked it all,sometimes by the time we had got to his study it it was half empty,and we would have to go back for more??"
