TRANSCRIPT

When I was a boarder, there were only a few holidays during the year when we could go home. We had permission to go out on Sunday from 11:45 in the morning to 4:45 in the afternoon. We had to be back in time for vespers. There was a weekend off each month, when we'd leave Friday evening and come back Sunday afternoon at 5 o'clock. These were good times, and my memories of them are happy ones. I liked being a boarder. I was always glad to go home, but I liked coming back too because the boarding school was our whole life.
