Hunter Family Diary 1928

This blog contains the 1928 Diary of my mother, Iris Hunter and her sister Nora Hunter. At the time of it's writing, they were attending Bournemouth High School, a boarding school for girls in Bournemouth, England. It was their final year after which they would be returning to their home in Shanghai, China. Iris turned 17 in Feb of that year and her sister would be 16 in July. I've transcribed it as written along with any photos that were pasted into the diary. I've also added in a few photos

January 18 "First Day back at School"

18 Wednesday (18-348)

This was the first day of school and we set to work after the first two lessons.

We had a lovely long letter from Mummy and at one o'clock our hatbox arrived from Torquay.
We unpacked our trunks in the afternoon and did the necessary packing up in the box room.
We started Silent Prep again so we could not play the gramophone but we read our books instead, having nothing else to do after supper
