wasn t it that all too familiar cry sigh if only i could be 15 again from l to r lindsay bousfield linda tooth standing behind mimi waugh penny rogers lottie kirkpatrick yvonne jackman imagine if you could turn back time 45 years or so and find yourself once again in any of the dickensian school dormitories in a once grand rothschild mansion in the heart of leafy hertfordshire what you would see well in the moonlight for the tall sash windows are curtain less and draughty in the early hours long after the girly giggles have subsided sue pennick jenny bennett sue cock remains of the illicit midnight feasts have been stashed away and the transistor radios playing the latest hits from the pirate ship radio caroline are silenced and secreted under the pillows you would see several young fresh faced girls tucked up in bed under the regulation candlewick bedspreads sleeping soundly you would just be able to make out under each bed a pair of fluffy slippers neatly lined up on the greasy bare floorboards and at the foot the carefully folded dressing gown all ready for the morning wake up bell and the sprint to the ice cold bathrooms in the sparse rooms there s little else to tell the girls apart other than the sorely missed family members watching over each child from the single permitted photo frame on their night stand if you listened closely you would hear the heavy breathing of their exhausted little bodies bodies that had by day been regularly and un naturally stretched twisted turned pummelled and pounded into submission for these are no ordinary young girls and this is no ordinary boarding school this is tring a highly specialised school for the performing arts where whether a drama music contemporary dance or ballet student each pupil is expected to excel in all artistic and academic disciplines in order to keep their privileged place at this highly selective vocational institution and go on to enjoy an illustrious career from l back row sue stewart sue cochrane patience galeagos julia gray wendy smurthwaite kate leach hilary butler linda carter from l middle row gisele yoh julia collins sue ransome caroline weller nicky coates from l front row amanda chiarletti ghislaine ross davies jennifer lonsdale jane johnson there are only a handful of such schools in britain and the majority of pupils are keenly aware of their privileged position having been largely hand picked for their individual talents and potential contribution to the world of arts entertaiment they know how fortunate they are to have this unique opportunity to pursue their dreams individual dreams and aspirations of one day seeing their name in lights in a west end theatre or on broadway or in the glossy royal opera house programmes dreams that spur them on each gruelling day to reach ever greater heights of achievement regardless of any personal sacrifice or the physical cost to their young developing bodies carole freeman sue pennick sue cock that said there are also a few with totally different aspirations who are either obliged to follow their pushy parent s dream rather than their own or saddest of all are those whose schooling away from home is merely a convenience in stark contrast to the usually happy tring pupil such girls are desperately unhappy feeling often unable to compete they spend their days counting the hours till they can escape from the rigorous daily routines they re unwillingly subjected to and the long lonely nights of silently sobbing into their pillows whatever their reasons for being there deep unbreakable bonds are being formed between all the girls the daily repetitive regime is brutal competition is rife and necessary but all emotions so keenly felt are volatile and openly shared probably the very last thought in their young minds is that of the very distant future beyond the realisation of their dreams a future when one day they might be considered old with their careers long since behind them now i invite you to fast forward 45 years or so to an elegant flat in hampstead on a cold but sunny november afternoon gathered around a cosy fire are 15 or so of those same giggly school girls sue pennick gisele yoh eileen mckenna celia head it s only to the outside world that are they are no longer girls but middle aged ladies inside they themselves still feel they re 15 and refreshingly in this age obsessed with image and youth any inevitable exterior changes are actually totally irrelevant any nervousness about the odd wrinkle or extra kilo or two is soon dispersed by the excited chatter which is incessant giggles and the shrieks of joy that continue to punctuate every sentence that generally begins with remember when maddie pritchard julia gray friendships pick up easily from where they left off these are very special ladies who have lived a lifetime and have a lifetime of stories to tell the highs and lows the triumphs and the tragedies between them you name it they ve been through it all of it and all the while acutely aware of those amongst them who sadly never got to make it this far they re always in our hearts of those that have some have soared the heights of their dreams and enjoyed dazzling careers most haven t some have married raised families and enthusiastically share photos of their grandchildren some haven t and don t some have battled serious illness some have lost loved ones far too early sue pennick henrietta hopwood some have been luckier than others several care for sick spouses children and their elderly parents many do so no longer the scars remain but the support for and from each other is overwhelming the sharing of joys and tears is generous genuine and constant and we re thankful too for every reunion that brings another long lost sister back into the fold welcome jenny jane johnson it was so lovely to see you after all these years jane johnson mary self julia gray henrietta hopwood we may indeed have been privileged all those years ago but personally i feel far more privileged now to belong to such an amazingly strong and vibrant group of women real women individuals all the all encompassing warmth in the room is palpable etched onto every smile and extended through every hug even reaching those who through the wonders of modern technology aka skype linked up to share our love and laughter first hand from their homes hundreds of miles away lovely to speak to you amanda and carole so if i could turn back time no thank s cher but if it s all the same to you i m well over over the wrong side of fifty i m fit ish a bit ok then a

among the few others i recognised and chatted to were christine wickham arlene philips finola hughes and anne marie khachik newland the absolute highlight of the day for me was meeting up with my old art teacher from the london school jo mills wallace and our wonderful pottery teacher from tring jeremy cragg both of whom speaking personally along with the late mrs wheeler had a such profound influence on my life and career as an artist other news i don t have very much to report so i m looking forward to hearing all your news at the next reunion i know new grandchild have arrived caring
