The
performance was in June 1953 at Linthorpe
Junior Mixed School, Roman Road,
Middlesbrough. Headmaster: "Pop"
Starling. Class teacher: Miss Chambers -
4th Form. Performance manager: Mrs
Pollock.
The Evening
Gazette came especially to photograph the
group. I even remember my first lines:
"Good evening, where is the
organ?" "Sorry, sir, there is no
organ." "But I came to play the
Peasants' Cantata, that's why I came,
isn't it?"
Since the
days of Marton Road School in the 1920s,
Linthorpe School had the largest
concentration of Jewish children.
