[News] Muriel Hart RIP

[Super Steve Earle]

I never buy The Argus, but popped in to the Village Hall for a breakfast today to open it and see a full page spread in tribute to Miss Hart MBE, my teacher of music and movement at Patcham Juniors. Since she felt slapping my face during class would help my education (I was both a good singer and a well behaved pupil) and she helped engender my deep
dislike of teachers back in the day, I won't add my tribute. As her great-niece is quoted 'she may have had a strict schoolteacher exterior'. But my word, seeing that face again brought back the horrors. I'll leave others to add the good bits.

RIP Miss Hart, though I think it would be fair to say that I enjoyed Tony Geerts’s football coaching than her music lessons.

RIP Miss Hart......from a 6 year old at Patcham Juniors - who she taught to play the triangle

Like me then! Drums? No. Tambourine ? No. Cymbals? No. Just the f***ing triangle!

aahhh yes, the psychopathic teaching staff at Patcham Juniors circa 1969. Psycho Lissamore, Psycho Geerts (although I was never a recipient of the infamous Geertsy slap). Dont know about this Ms Hart, must be after my time.
All I know is that half the teaching staff at any of the schools that I went to would be up in front of the beak if they tried any of their antics in this day and age.

Run wide don't hide was one of his classics

Wow. A shock to find out that she lived to 99.
She would stamp her feet when annoyed, so we really had to control the sniggering otherwise both got worse.
Told me off for pulling a face when I saw my allocated girl partner for dancing.
I could not sing in time so was one of the few left at school when all the class went to the Dome as a choir.
My involvement with the school concert was setting up the music stands.
Nevertheless, RIP Miss Hart.

And “if in doubt kick it out” . Don’t think he’d have liked the RDZ fannying around at the back

You didn't even make it as far as the recorder then? lol

Recorder? Pah! That’s for sissies. Triangles were heavy metal (geddit!)

So that's how we won the choirs competition.
