Odds and Sods

FROM IRENE LUNN March 2009:

Looking through my little "treasures", I discovered a handwritten copy of an anonymous school "newsletter" called "The Yunian Thymes". It's
too bad a copy to be scanned, so I have typed it out. I think it came from the Lower 6th in around 1959, and must have been an attempt to rival "Punch" ....

It's pretty cryptic to me in places, I have to admit. Also very un-grown-up! But still, maybe there are folks out there who might appreciate it, especially "Flev", "Bramley", "Isa", "Margaret", "Blondy" and those who lived in the Ambiston, Borrowash, Thulston areas.

The Yunian Thymes
