LOOKING IN THE SQUARE

An early New Zealand classroom mock-up

This is what classrooms looked like in my day - around the later-half of the 1940's and the 1950's. Of course the desks were only big enough for younger children.

I was interested to see the sample printed-alphabet on the blackboard.

This mock-up was done by the wives of local farmers for an antique farm machinery show in Hamilton last summer. Click to enlarge the photo.
