called Miss Cash who was a student at Reaseheath in 1926-27.\u00a0 We are told that she had decided to write about her wonderful year at Reaseheath College, learning to be a dairymaid.<\/h4>\n<p>I would like to write my story of Reaseheath.\u00a0 Why?!\u00a0 Because I think the women students of that year were rather special.<\/p>\n<p>You see, we were the first to live in the \u201cNew Women\u2019s Hostel\u201d which was opened by the Prince of Wales, afterwards the Duke of Windsor, and to use the new dairies.\u00a0 So not only were we the first residents, we also had the honour of preparing for a Royal visit.\u00a0 But let me begin with the first day.<\/p>\n<p>We were all to arrive on a certain date in October 1926, any time between two o\u2019clock and four.\u00a0 We were all ushered into the \u2018Common Room\u2019 and when Miss Falder (the matron) ascertained we were all present and correct, we were invited into the dining room for tea.<\/p>\n<p>When tea was over, we were to return to the \u2018Common Room\u2019 and when she was free she would pay us a visit, \u201cto have a little talk with us\u201d.\u00a0 The talk consisted of rules and regulations; I\u2019ve forgotten some of them &#8211; but two have always stuck in my mind:<\/p>\n<p>Firstly, at 5.30 next morning, Miss Blackburn (Assistant Dairy Tutor) would come along the corridor make her way downstairs and in an ante room off the corridor, we would find two large jugs of milk and each girl must partake of one cupful.\u00a0 We must be across in the dairy by six o\u2019clock where Miss Bennion would be waiting for us.\u00a0 \u201cAnd remember\u201d, admonished Miss Falder, \u201cSix o\u2019clock, not five past; Miss Bennion insists on punctuality\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The other rule was this:- \u201cWomen students were not allowed in the men\u2019s grounds.\u00a0 If anyone was caught disobeying this rule, they would be instantly expelled.\u00a0 Mr Mercer (Principal) was very strict about this and no leniency would be shown\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>But I\u2019m quite sure the male section of the community were not affected by this ruling for many a time and often in the evenings, \u201chooting owls\u201d were heard only about a yard from the common room windows and they were not the feathered kind, either!\u00a0 And wolf whistles in every key rent the night air!<\/p>\n<p>And when they departed to their own domain, they always sang and \u2018twas always the same song \u2013 \u201cPolly Wolly Doodle\u201d.\u00a0 Why?\u00a0 I shall never know.\u00a0 Without the chorus was their way of saying \u201cGoodnight\u201d, because it goes:-<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFare thee well, fare thee well, fare thee well my fairy fay\u201d etc.<\/p>\n<p>But back to that first night.\u00a0 We soon made friends and spent a jolly evening.\u00a0 We were to be in bed by ten o\u2019clock as the lights would all go out then.\u00a0 There were no mains electric in those days and we had to depend on Jackson Curry (the son of the Farm Manager) to turn the light off and on.\u00a0 And he was responsible for the generator which made the electric.<\/p>\n<p>At 5.30 next morning, Miss Blackburn came along the corridor tolling her bell.\u00a0 It reminded me of Gray\u2019s Elegy \u2013 \u201cThe curfew tolls the knell of parting day\u201d \u2013 only it happened to be morning.\u00a0 But it felt like the middle of the night.<\/p>\n<p>We all arose, full of vim and vigour (and milk) and made our way to the cheese dairy where Miss Bennion and Miss Blackburn were waiting to receive us.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow girls\u201d, Miss Bennion said.\u00a0 \u201cWe\u2019re very sorry but the builders have only just finished the dairies and as yet they haven\u2019t been cleaned.\u00a0 So, as they\u2019re not fit to be used for dairying of any kind without being thoroughly scrubbed down, we thought it would be a nice little job for you all.\u00a0 Go with Miss Blackburn and she will give you each a scrubbing brush, soap and floorcloth.\u00a0 And she will also detail you to the different departments.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Some were given walls to clean but I, and several other unfortunates, had to get down on our hands and knees and scrub cement floors which were splashed with plaster and which had dried on in hard knobs.\u00a0 Breakfast was to be served at eight and it seemed a lifetime before that breakfast bell went.\u00a0 But we soon had it clean and shiny and the following week the milk flowed freely into each department and our life as \u201cdairymaids\u201d began.<\/p>\n<p>I was allocated to the butter room the first week.\u00a0 You did a week in each of the cheese room, separating room, butter room and scullery.\u00a0 When you were in the scullery, you had to milk the cows and wash all the milking utensils and although I could handmilk, I wasn\u2019t used to those ugly heavy cans that were used.\u00a0 We had light pails at home which were held between the knees.\u00a0 These cans stayed on the floor and through a small hole in the front the milk was aimed.\u00a0 But the first morning the milk went anywhere but through that hole.\u00a0 My stockings were soaked and my shoes squelched with milk as I walked back to the scullery.<\/p>\n<p>Back to that butter room again, Miss Blackburn was our tutor.\u00a0 We were each given a churn with cream in and were to churn until our cream resembled grains of mustard seed.\u00a0 We must keep looking through the little glass window to see how it was \u201cgetting on\u201d and on no account must we churn it into a football. That was the greatest crime anyone could commit (in the butter world).<\/p>\n<p>We started off merrily, round and round went the churns.\u00a0 I kept looking now and then through the window then, without any warning: Bang!\u00a0 Bang! went something inside my churn.\u00a0 I saw Miss Blackburn staring at me and then she said in a fearful voice, \u201cMiss Cash, you\u2019ve churned your butter into a football.\u00a0 <strong>Don\u2019t let it happen again!\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As time went on, I managed to keep it in grains but when it came to making it into pats, I was hopeless.\u00a0 \u201cThe ends of the pat of butter must be perfectly square\u201d, said Miss Blackburn.\u00a0 And as I hadn\u2019t a straight eye, mine never were.<\/p>\n<p>I will now move forward to the day of the royal visit.\u00a0 Miss Bennion, nervous as a kitten, practising her speech and her curtsey.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDoes this look right, do you think?\u00a0 And \u2013 let me see \u2013 I say \u201cYour Royal Highness\u201d the first time I address him and \u201cMy Lord\u201d the rest of the time.\u00a0 Is that right?\u201d.\u00a0 I happened to be in the butter room for the Prince\u2019s visit and we were to be in various stages of butter-making for his inspection.\u00a0 I was on the butter-worker, as Miss Blackburn said I couldn\u2019t make any mistake on that.\u00a0 And, believe it or not, he walked straight up to me and asked me to show him how it worked.\u00a0 Was I proud?<\/p>\n<p>After the inspection we all had to go to The Hall where the men students joined us too.\u00a0 I think the photographer was nervous and he seemed to have difficulty in placing us so as not to leave anyone out!\u00a0 But the Prince was getting fidgety and looked completely fed up and passed some remark.\u00a0 The photographer took the photo and only half the students were in.\u00a0 But I was there and still have that photo and also one of all of the students at the end of term which I still treasure.<\/p>\n<p>There was to be a dance in the evening where we would make the acquaintance of the male sex.\u00a0 It was heavenly.\u00a0 Everyone dressed up for the occasion in what we used to call our dance dresses and the boys in their best suits and dancing shoes. \u00a0Now, nobody bothers to dress up and I don\u2019t think they have half the fun we had.<\/p>\n<p>The dance was held in the Men\u2019s Hall and we were escorted there by Miss Falder and also escorted us home.\u00a0 We had a dance every Saturday night, always accompanied by Miss Falder, except for the end of term dance and then we were left to stroll back to the hostel with anyone we pleased (male or female).<\/p>\n<p>Miss Bennion taught cheese-making and was very strict; we were all a little afraid of her.\u00a0 But it wasn\u2019t her fault if we didn\u2019t turn out to be good dairymaids.<\/p>\n<p>I must just mention the separating room.\u00a0 You separated the cream from the milk with separators worked by hand and you also learned to bottle milk.\u00a0 The bottles were used mostly by staff.\u00a0 Miss Blackburn was also in charge of this room and when bottling the milk she would start to count on her fingers, naming the members of the staff.\u00a0 There\u2019s Morgan, Tew, Woods, Gates, Green and Blackburn.\u201d\u00a0 And to silly, giggling girls, it used to sound like \u201cMorgan chew wood gates\u201d etc.\u00a0 She never missed saying this and every morning we used to wait for it and there would be a broad grin on each girl\u2019s face and sometimes a stifled laugh.<\/p>\n<p>The days flew by, friendships were made and romances too.\u00a0 But it was over all too soon.\u00a0 The last day of work and the last night to play.\u00a0 The end of term dance and the end of Reaseheath for us all.\u00a0 The dance was wonderful, but tinged with sadness.\u00a0 It was goodbye to all our dancing partners who we may never see again.\u00a0 And when we crossed hands to sing Auld Lang Syne and walked round and round the hall, we were singing but there were lumps in our throats and tears were not far away.<\/p>\n<p>The next morning, bags were packed and goodbyes were said with vows of eternal friendship and \u201cDon\u2019t forget to write\u201d.\u00a0 My case was so full, one towel just wouldn\u2019t go in so I got into my father\u2019s car, case in one hand, towel in the other, accompanied by a fellow student who was having a lift home.\u00a0 The tears were rolling down our cheeks as we drove away and we both shared the towel to wipe them away.\u00a0 I thought of the song which was popular at that time which somehow seemed to be our signature song; it was \u201cBye bye blackbird\u201d and I never hear that song without thinking of Reaseheath and those halcyon days I spent there.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_hr-0688d0b0b6ed2f8b057db7a8270206df\">\n#top
