I still didn't get to go even when I was a fourth year.
It was the church youth club dance for me and my best friend.......and her dad would come and escort us both home.......how uncool was that?

Sounds about as uncool as the Saturday evening dance at Spring Hill on Richmond Road in the mid-50s. The lights were always quite well lit and a number of adults were strategically positioned around the perimeter of the dance floor. I suppose that this (music - skiffle and rock'n'roll) was quite new to those adults, and we kids were only 13 and 14-year olds trying to grow up. This is where the rest of my life began...
