The toothpaste assembly

told by Carol W

Schooldays

Mr. Phillips was HT and Mrs. Morgan seemed to have responsibility for the girl’s welfare. I (randomly) remember an assembly she did in about 1974/75. It was about a girl telling their Mom that they had said something nasty to another child (who wouldn’t forgive her) and so the child’s parent gave her a tube of toothpaste and told her to squirt it all into the sink. After she’d done it, the parent told her to put it all back inside the tube! I understood the meaning of the story but was scandalised about the waste of toothpaste! I also remember a talk she gave to the girls about puberty and body odour! I remember her being Welsh, smartly dressed and her hair immaculate, and a firm but fair teacher.
