'The smell of the cream buns from the tuck shop Standing on parade singing God Save the Queen The cool cadets with their rifles Being frightened of Mr Weitzel Speech nights at City Hall Being frightened to ask a girl to the school dance Looking at the skies every Wednesday morning during class praying it wouldn’t rain and spoil sports day Wearing white socks to make a statement I was different Deliberately cutting myself to get out of Metalwork exam How I loved going to school Walking out of the grounds in Dec 1971 not knowing what was going to happen next.'

'I went to Indro from 1967 to senior in 1971 I was vice school captain and prefect in my senior year and I think it was A block had a little room like a janitors room which was assigned to us as prefects. Not really sure why but I took the opportunity to hold various dice games there at lunchtimes which proved quite profitable until some loser told his mum he lost his lunch money to a prefect Only time I got called to Mr Sparks office and felt pretty embarrassed.'
