FORMER students were quickly pulled into line on Saturday by their one-time teacher Jean McClymont.
Jean, who had been a student herself at Inglewood Higher Elementary School, quickly had old primary students Mark Geyer and Leigh Parry sitting in the classroom where she had taught them as a young teacher.
“I was only 11 years older than the students I was teaching back in the early 1960s ... 45 kids there were in my class,” Jean said. The reunion also revived memories for Mark and Leigh of being on wood duty, in the schoolyard cutting wood ready for the classroom fire in winter.
They also recalled the woodwork and home economics rooms that were adjacent to their Grade 3-4 classroom, now part of the outdoor area at Inglewood Primary School.
At Saturday’s reunion, the three were old friends ... the former students now on first name terms with Jean.
