Another happy recollection during schooldays - we boys in the fifth form, were introduced to the
Convent fifth form girls for the purpose of learning folk dancing and rudimentary ballroom dance.
Our teachers brought us boys to the Convent school hall where the girls were assembled. We were
formally introduced, the boys bowing and the girls courtesying: what a thrill.  Some of us, and the
girls visibly blushed and even trembled.
We were introduced to the basics of folk dance steps, holding both the girls hands and moving
in circles.  What a thrill.  As a young 18 year-old boy, I was thrilled, excited and had the most
beautiful moments in my life, to have the opportunity to hold a girl in my arms!  What makes
the event more memorable is the fact that all these activities were done under strict supervision.
We liked it that way - very honourable.
