We were all sitting in the big room. Because Raymond, the singing inspector, told us to and we did as we were told. He was terrifying, he looked liked a hunting man, with his huge knickerbockers and his thick stockings, he had blue eyes and golden hair. He was very hateful, the big and the little boys were lucky and got to stay in class, they did no singing... We all had to do singing exercises like, doh, ray,me and stuff like that. Benny and Charles had to sing, but the only song they knew was pretty Polly. When they sang it was hard not to laugh, they sang very strangely. But I could tell mr R was getting mad, the next second he shouted, WASTE OF TIME, WASTE OF TIME, two worthless idiots in a singing class, send them out. Then he called me, I sang and wasn't sent out, which was a relief, then he called Gladys Armstrong and Iris, I could tell Iris was really nervous, she was even shaking. Then he called Winnie and Gladys Long to help Iris and Gladys and he even called them paralyzed mutes!
