Fraser (Alan) Pemberton - at Wisboro' 1942 to 1948, Head Boy for several years.
Fraser recalls some Incidents: I think that when I started, in 1942, the name of the school was Eardenstowe and the owner/Headmaster was named Maunsell. I remember that there were girls attending classes so it must have been co-educational.
The only cricket match I recall involved the Wisborough Green Youth Club, we also lost that one, they had a player named Mossy [Maurice] Carter who seemed to knock every bowler for six!! I was very impressed with the name Mossy! The drowning also stayed with me, one moment he was there and then gone, it was probably an ill planned cross country run. The "Apple Barrel Incident" was certainly the highlight or low point of my WL experience; MacDonalds had a barrel of apples stored in a garden shed and several of us dared each other to steal an apple, to be done at night after lights out, we were too successful, I remember being assembled in the dining room and MacD announcing that the whole school would be punished unless the thieves confessed; we did and were!!"
