I have many memories of going to school, I started schooling at Brighton Road State School, after being there for 6 months I caught Diphtheria, was in hospital for a couple of months. When it was time for me to go back to school my parents didn’t want to sent me back to Brighton Road. They blamed the school for my sickness. They came down to Elwood Central School and checked to school over for cleanliness. 

I  have to laugh to myself as now we know that catching Diphtheria has nothing to do ...
