An Apple for the Teacher

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

10 June 1938: Went to Bot Lab for prep - horrible stink there - Mair said afterwards she wouldn't come near me because I stank so much. Told her she stank before going in to Bot Lab! Did crossword puzzle after tea. Started diary - wonder how far I'll get....
That diary, written by a South Wales schoolgirl, ended in December 1939. It was the year that war broke out - and it was also the year that Mary Bevan didn't make the hockey team, became Head Girl and fell in love. This is a portrait - in her own words - of that year in her brief life.
