I recall practising a musical for MONTHS on end with our harried music teacher Miss Dubois( when she lost control of the class,she usually imprisoned the main offender in the cavity under her upright piano where she could keep an eye on him - it was always a him!) This led to even more disruption especially on the days Miss Dubois wore a short skirt. Anyway, the musical was based on Stevenson"s "KIDNAPPED" We laboured over "...watch Long John, His finger he's crooking, Sneak up behind him when no one is looking..." all in unison, most of the school year only to learn sometime in April that the performance would have to be cancelled. Poor Miss Dubois had suffered a nervous breakdown and the class was left to finish the year off quietly with Miss Dubois' brother...Mr. Dubois, the gym teacher*** ( names have been changed to protect the not so innocent)
