The Hall Corridor

I wonder what was on show in the display cases? What was kept in the cupboards? Hymn books?

Dear Dave,
Some pupils were unfortunate enough to have form rooms that lacked desks. When I was in LVIS our form room was the Lecture Theatre in the Science Block and we kept our text books, exercise books etc in the lockers at the front of the theatre. In the Upper 6th we again had no desks in our form room (I actually can't remember which room it was; possibly the Physics Lab). The cupboards in the hall corridor were used as our desk space.

The Hall Corridor shows Christine Stephens (left) and Janet Herbert.
