The preliminary schools nowadays live through Six years, Monday to Friday, and Saturday mornings, Wednesday afternoon free.

Also the majority of us could have a spare time activity, my favourite hobby was monochrome Photography, Within the room of the house was a deep closet that I turned into a spare time activity closet, along with 3 trays which looked like trays for paint but was not, 1 was used for developer, 1 for rinsing and the other for backing the pictures.
Required was a Paterson tank to produce the negatives, an enlarger to help make the photos and the Three baths. In the event the pictures went through the 3 baths, they were attached on a wash line to dried out the same as the laundry.
