  1. How you would wait for speeches to end so that you can FINALLY have visiting day
    How you would run to the phonebooth after roll call so that you beat the line

  2. I wonder how attending “commo” in preparation for interhouse activities escaped your mind.I rem how we used to be woken up very early.If you proved to be stubborn or pretending to be sleepy you would run around your house until you are ready to cooperate.and then the joy of your house winning in the interhouse competitions..you would feast on chapatis and cake and go around the whole school mocking the losers..

  4. Hot water, salon lady, half-sweaters?! Only “para” was there. I went to a different Bush gals early 90’s where we had none of that. We went for cross-country full stretch no surrender, probably feared to forge an injury because of the imagination of what will happen if discovered.

  7. Wow! Some similarities there with Starehe boys. You girls are highly respected by me because you have a great schools name to protect. At work when your boss congratulates you for a job well done and mentions Alliance, Starehe, Kenya high, Pb etc, it makes colleagues freak out and look at you like you have all the answers to their problems.
