Today I’m going to give you a glimpse into some of those moments when young people ‘get up to no good’. I mean, if I asked you, I’m sure you’d think of something you once did!
And so, that’s what I did: I asked ex-students.
The following are a few confessed mis haps and naughtiness from former students of Chelsea College:
Carol said: “Fire drills were always in the middle of the night . Everyone had to leave, putting a pillow outside the door to prove we were out. Sometimes boyfriends stayed, so the problem was: do you get them out and get caught, or leave them in the room and pray it isn't a real fire?”
Emma said: “I remember watching a horr or film. Then half an hour later, after I had gone to bed, two of the first years leapt out of my wardrobe and scared me to death!”
Jan said: "We were the first to be given a front door key – in 1973. But you had to sign out if you were to come in after 11pm. After a time, we were spoken to by the warden, as we’d had more late nights than the rest!”
Back then, that’s just the way it was!
