Calling all Weald of Kent girls from Class of 1998....


Well Sara Clark did you manage to get to live in a mansion with a heli-pad in front by last year?! You may have forgotten what you probably said off the cuff in 1998 but I'm afraid that this just demonstates the power and longevity of the written word. Things come back to haunt you. Sorry that I've singled you out, nothing personal it's just that your comment just happened to be interesting enough to catch my eye. I could equally have picked on Holly Fairweather who said that in ten years time (ie. by 2008) she would be "a top publisher living anywhere but Tonbridge!" Bit cheeky Holly but again you probably just thought of that on the spur of the moment and I'm sure that you probably now realise that there are a lot worse places in the world than this little corner of Kent. These comments and those of all the 1998 sixth form leavers of the Weald of Kent Grammar School for Girls are immortalized in the 1997-8 Year Book which Mr. Books has just acquired. I'm sure a few of the teachers have a few more grey hairs since then. It would be interesting to know if many of the girls achieved their "In ten years time" ambitions. What to do with such a book? I could auction it in the shop I suppose; some of those girls are probably well off by now!...

Perhaps you should do the decent thing and donate this book back to the school from whence it came?
