Alice's last letter home

On 6^th August 1958 Alice writes her last letter home.  She is now an old student of the Bedford College of Physical Training having received her badges, carnation and goodbyes on the previous Saturday.  She was also able to meet up with around 200 other students in the London region who would have graduated that year.

Alice has decided that it is important that she goes to her new school, Heriot Wood, where she will start her teaching career as she needs to be there for a parents ‘do’.  She is also involved in visiting London schools where she is helping a lecturer with some research for her Diploma of Education in Movement Education.

Alice is preparing a final skit for the staff party which will be called ‘ A Tree in Spring ‘or ’ A Day in College’ and is on a Judo course run by Central Council of Physical Recreation which she is looking forward to.  She also asks her Mother if her colleague can have a bed on Tuesday night as she is needing to catch an early train from Waterloo.  Alice’s trunk is leaving on Monday and she will be home for the final time later that same week.
