MW: We used to pronounce it all quite correctly and all. You know, we didn't 
take Latin at school as a SUBJECT, because we went into commercial. But we could 
sing, we knew all the Latin for the singing for the Mass didn't we?           
551
MW: But we took all the other SUBJECTs. But then we took shorthand and typing 
and bookkeeping. And the others took Algebra, Geometry and Latin or something.
561
MW: And we had to take all the other SUBJECTs too. And we did the commercial. 
But we didn't do very much of it because we only had typing about twice a week. 
. .                565
MW: You know we had to take all the other SUBJECTs as well as the three special 
commercial subjects.573

KF: Archerfield, the second one I went to last, and I told you the two clergymen 
came and they talked, they talked about religion to us and - actually we had to 
make notes and we had exams. I did very well in my written but when it came to 
remembering what I'd be told I was very poor at that because I wasn't listening 
half the time. And I might tell you something else too. My last year at school, 
when, when we would - I was 
discussing with my head mistress the SUBJECT I'd take, because I, I hadn't done 
matriculation on purpose because I didn't want to, and I said "do you think I 
have to take Scripture, you know, I don't listen to what's being said". And she 
said: "well", she said, "under those circumstances I think you'll be better not 
to take it". But you 
know, I was the only girl in the school who ever was allowed not to take 
Scripture.        1343
KF: Yes, it was one of the SUBJECTs that was compulsory.1355
KF: And all those SUBJECTs. But I don't know - you see, St. Philomina's and St. 
Dominic's being Catholic schools, they'd have a lot of religion -           
1391
KF: Well, because it was a very unusual type of education. I mean, we had all 
these different SUBJECTs other schools didn't have and, you know, we had some 
very interesting teachers, one of them came from Ireland, she had a degree at a 
university there, and our sports-mistress came from England, and we had another 
one who from South Africa, I think, and they were, you know, interesting 
people.1801

SB: RIGHT. SO WHAT, WHAT SUBJECTS DID YOU DO AT THAT SCHOOL, THIS IS, WHICH 
SCHOOL AGAIN? 1807
SB: ARCHERFIELD, WHAT WERE THE SUBJECTS? 1811

RG:  Oh it was totally different.  I was just a day girl at Archerfield.  but we 
had a few different SUBJECTs that I wouldn't have got at Otago Girls' High 
School.           63
RG: Well, now - what you talk about social difference was something that was 
just going through my mind. To me social difference ... doesn't really exist. 
You've got to have, uhm, something in common somewhere down, eh, that, that 
gives you an interest together, even today amongst - picking  - if you were, if 
I were choosing friends, it would - people that - either new people I knew or 
new - did - like being artistic or like music or something like that, they'd 
have an interest in common, and I don't think it matters whether you're - well, 
today it doesn't matter whether you're - what you work at. Jack's as good as his 
master, and when all of a sudden they basically should be that way, some people 
are just more developed ... in certain SUBJECTs than others.              1348
RG: I think it did - it, it, it operated in all layers of society. When I talk 
about layers, there was a man, in my youth, a man that worked with a spade and a 
shovel, and the dustman, you know, that came and collected your rubbish and 
that, he wasn't of a, a, you know, the same social standard as someone else, and 
as I say, not I don't think because people perhaps wanted it that way, but it 
was an in - you had nothing in 
common to talk about to the person, like I had nothing to talk about to the aca 
- academics, because I didn't know their SUBJECTs. I might have learned a lot 
about their, their attitudes and their subjects, but it was only by listening 
that you pick up these things 1356
RG: Yes, I think so, then of course there were some that - Sew Hoy is the 
merchant in Ratt - in, in Stafford Street. I had a school teacher who'd been a 
missionary in China ... and when she came back after school she used to teach - 
go up to Sew Hoy's and the Chinese children used to go up there too, after 
attending the ordinary school, and she would give them extra tuition, in their 
different SUBJECTs because she could help them by talking in Chinese  1565

FH:Not really .. when you went to a doctor you didn't have to sit like now .. 
what people did die of was the things you would die of today ..consumption was 
very common in fact I've just been reading a book now ...and had a lot of 
diptheria ...injected me for tetanus we used to have a lot of tetanus and 
another thing blood poisoning was common ... rusty iron and things like that 
..the country got bigger and you had all those sexual diseases like venereal 
disease and you had them ... so you can see ... had chickenpox, the kids had a 
lot of ... like in the school ...some of the classes at Forbury were 120, the 
teachers would go mad today and the children were better educated then than they 
are today. They wrote better, they spelt better, they spoke better and .. you 
didn't get to the high school very easily either. They used to have an extra 
standard for the people good enough to go to high school and if you wanted to 
get in ....pay for it ... technical schools and then you got three years free if 
you were lucky and ... you had to take three SUBJECTs. There was nothing so easy 
and that's why ... like when I look back 94

EH:  Ah, well, we didn't really, we didn't really go to work such as.  After I 
left school I wanted to go nursing and um you couldn't start nursing until you 
were 18 and the Otago University ah had started a Home Science Department and 
they were very short of funds, they had a Professor Strong who came out to New 
Zealand to start the Home Science school and um to raise funds they offered 
tuition in specialised SUBJECTs.  You didn't have to sit any exams, you took 
what they called clothing, which was dressmaking and um cooking, then science 
subjects like History of Costume and History of Architecture and that type of 
thing and I was there for two years, and my father who always objected to my 
request to, when I say request, you always had to request father for anything 
you wanted to do, to go nursing and um so he had encouraged this two years that 
I spent at Home Science, hoping that I would decide to go on and do a degree but 
at that time the only opportunity available with a Home Science Degree was to be 
a dietician, or a teacher.  I think there was a third option but I can't 
remember.

MC:  SO THAT THE ONES AT TECH, WERE THEY NOT DOING ANYTHING EXCEPT THE 
COMMERCIAL STUDIES, WHEREAS AT HIGH SCHOOL YOU WERE DOING OTHER SUBJECTS AS 
WELL?                      214
AI:  We did other SUBJECTs as well.  I'm not quite sure what they did at Tech 
but they didn't have as much general as we had 216
BI:  Well I did go to University when I came back.  I worked during the day, 
went to University in the morning, quarter to eight, to quarter nine, (MC: GOOD 
HEAVENS)  biked all the way from here down to the university to be there by 
quarter to nine, quarter to eight and more in the evening, it was the 
accounting, which is bookkeeping, and all of that, they were in the evening.  
The law SUBJECTs were in the morning.  So that was it, it was really hard 
work331
BI:  Well, I took on the Greek as well, so that would be 1931 I started, in 1935 
I got my accounting and I had one SUBJECT - Commercial French to finish in order 
to accomplish the Greek,  (AI:  he got that after we were married) and that was 
when I was sent away again and I had to come and take it by, at 35 I had to take 
it by correspondence, and that was no good, in 1936 I had transferred to 
Wellington, so I went to the College then and got the Commercial French 
there.341

RK: No, I can't really say the SUBJECT was never thought about or talked about. 
To my knowledge. I can never remember. It was just that they were Protestants 
and we were Catholics, it was just like black and white. They --- we mixed. 
Everybody seemed to get on well together, there were no differences --- there 
might have been amongst the older people, but I'd never heard of any, and I 
don't think there were, but religion was a thing that, that was your own 
personal opinion, and religion never came into it. I can never remember my 
family or any other . . . I can't even remember any families you know, sort of 
discussing other religions. We all seemed to get along very well together as far 
as that was concerned 458
RK:  . . . No. Not that I can think of. No. Religion was a SUBJECT, apart from 
that family I was telling you about, it was never broached and my sister, ah, 
the majority of her friends who used to come dancing on Saturday night were 
people that lived round us and there were far more Protestants than there were 
Catholics. The same thing with 
myself. Though I did go to school as I say, we played - we played with all our 
neighbours and when I left the Army, and I was travelling --- well I retired 
from the Army when I was 50, so I spent another 10 years travelling with a local 
firm here - they were wine and spirit and tea merchants, and I met a new sort of 
- a new type of person. You know before I'd been tied up with the Army, with the 
soldiers and when I got back into civilian life and you met these people who 
were running stores, running little businesses of their own - wine and spirit 
people. All the hotels and places like that, you met a totally new range of 
people. And they were all very, very nice, got on very well with some of them.

LK-J:      No, jobs were hard for teachers in 1940. In fact I had had a, a 
year's relieving under Mary H.M. King at the Gir ... Girls' High School, and had 
... I had had a very good report from Teachers' College, training college, and 
Mary H.M. King, and this is worth repeating, did something quite immoral. She 
... asked - I was to go there relieving Betty Henderson of Dunedin in Latin and 
French, which were my SUBJECTs. 
Instead of which Mary H.M. King made me depute for her sister Helen who was the 
Commercial Mistress at the Girls' High School, and had gone overseas for a trip. 
So that my first year of teaching in 18 - 1939 was teaching uhm ... shorthand to 
two forms, I had no knowledge of it at all, book-keeping to a second year form, 
geography to a third - eh, third year form at the High School and English to the 
worst class in the school, the lowest class in the school. And so it nearly 
killed me, but I - and that was a year's work, and after that year I had no 
job.79
I was bright at school and became third in the class and got a scholarship to 
the university. Or - she had a half - MacAnd .. no Richardson's Scholarship with 
Frances Alexander. I had a half-share in that, and that - I was very poor when 
we went to university in those days, we had higher levy, I went in my upper 
sixth year, I got the 
scholarship - or half-share of the scholarship, and went off. Very poor, got a 
trust of books from the perpetual trustees, and we paid the rest somehow and 
struggled through and  eh, I lived at home the whole time I was at university, 
and I did my BA, you see, and after I had done my bachelor I had intended to do 
... a teaching ... do my MA, but was unable to do that because I missed - I was 
very young when I went, I was 15 years old when I went to university, had to 
wait to, to matriculate, to leave April. And ...but I missed out on my ... after 
three years I missed out in French Three, all the papers were sent overseas in 
those days, and in that year I then repeated my - SUBJECTs and then got French 
Three and anoth ... and Education, and learned to grow up, if you like. 109

JL:      Well, she was SUBJECT to these about every seven years. Course my 
younger sister and I didn't understand it. We used to think, 'Oh, why doesn't 
she snap out of it?', you know, but you see, you ... when you're young you don't 
understand these things. Whether it was a physical thing I do not know, because 
they say our body changes 
every seven years, and whether it was that or not I wouldn't know. I wouldn't 
know what would be the cause of it. She might, she might have felt, you know, 
she hadn't married and she'd ... at a young age, at 21 she was brought home to 
look after us two young ones, and then my father and ah,  brothers, to keep 
house. I don't know whether she felt 
that she'd missed out on things, but it was strange, it was every seven years so 
to me it could have been a physical thing .241

MW:AND WHAT KIND OF SUBJECTS DID YOU TAKE? 296
RM: The basic profiency SUBJECTs.298
RM: No. The Rector dressed me down. It was the only time. I was reasonably good. 
We'd have a sing-song once a month. Very few clubs. It was a single-sexed boys 
school, very few social - prefects never danced, I didn't you know. Sixth form, 
no seventh form. [unclear]. . . majority of people went on to matric. Higher 
school leaving certificate 
which paid the fees for four SUBJECTs at Varsity. I had to pay for a subject 
myself.        358
RM: When I left school ... I had to sit training college entrance in some 
SUBJECTs, drawing and I had to read poetry and I was quite pleased to be 
admitted, not everybody was but before we started, instead of getting £85 per 
year which was equivalent to a 
bank job at the City Council clerical. . . they were good wages .. but 500
RM: Well if you got Higher Leaving Certificate that entitled you to f20 towards 
'varsity fees and the fee for a SUBJECT was £5.533
MW: WHAT SUBJECTS DID YOU DO AT 'VARSITY? 539
RM:Stage 2, what did I take. History stage 2, English, they were 4 to 5, 5 to 6. 
I didn't have to get off school. That's what forced people into certain SUBJECTs 
because they'd timed them then. I wanted to take maths but maths was 9 to 10. A 
friend of mine he lived in London Street, he could shoot down, he was teaching 
at Arthur Street and he could get back without missing too much time but you see 
out at Forbury it was 
impossible to do that type of thing so we tended to get into those straight 
Arts.           557
RM:One thing, sports, the yellow paper the Star Sports came out at 7 o'clock on 
a Saturday, that would eagerly waited for, a boy used to come round the theatres 
to see if your name was mentioned. I suppose by the time I read 'varsity 
textbooks and teaching textbooks, after a year at Forbury I went to college, 
college SUBJECTs and 'variety subjects 578

TR: Off that SUBJECT. I'm finished when you're ready.70
TR: No, not really. While I was in the Army of course there was church parades. 
Forgettable things. And then I went up into working with my family up in the 
Waikato, and the SUBJECT was never mentioned there. They were not churchgoers. 
Farming people tend not to be. Except for one of my mother's sisters - 
[indistinct] and she was just the loveliest of women. And she went to church 
every Sunday at Teipa, her little place 
up there. And I never went with them. And later when I went to Lincoln College, 
I didn't go to any church services there. Occasionally --- that's not true, 
because a chap, Brian Ottway asked me to go to the Anglican church with him one 
day - the first time I'd been inside one - no that's not quite true, because I 
married an Anglican girl didn't I? No, that is quite true, because I hadn't met 
her that time. I went with him and I subsequently believe that he was a man I 
should have cultivated. He was a man who knew the Lord, and I didn't know that. 
But I had no contact there, really. There was no criticism, no prejudice, it was 
just a, well we didn't tend to be like that anyway. It's just a hotch-potch of 
everybody getting together cheerfully.218
TR: I wish I knew. I've three sons and two daughters. The two daughters are 
totally committed. My second son is a believer, but he's not a practice. My 
older son is a total agnostic, or pagan or atheist, and my younger son is a man 
who lives the life of a Christian and shows example to everyone in the way he 
runs his home with his children, but he's not committed to a church.And I 
remember the day that started, because we were living in a house then, but I had 
a 1955 Dodge - it was a wonderful old car that - and we were driving home from a 
church one day and this guy said to me, he was 14 I think: "I'm not going back 
there." I said: "right." We haven't talked about it since. But that's not true, 
I suppose both my wife and I spoke to him at times, and we got such a 
savage rebuff. And I thought it's not fair that he had that kind of response 
allowed to come out to his parents. So we never broached the SUBJECT. But more 
recently I attended 
- the church is running an Alpha course - you've heard about those? 358
TR: Well I think I might have had that feeling only too strongly myself. And I 
think it would probably secretly come from a desire to do the same. And well, I 
wouldn't have communicated too much with churchgoers or non-churchgoers in that 
context as a SUBJECT to talk about. My wife - she was one of six children - and 
she was, the girls - the married men, and I couldn't talk about church things 
with them because they were all pagans.

actually went up there - everybody - solicitors all worked in offices and I 
worked in a legal office down here while I was finishing my degree, and then my 
last year I was left with two SUBJECTs to do, international law and contract 
law, and so I went up because my 
father became a attorney general under the United government, he stayed there 
all the time, and we all moved up there, so I went up there with them and I 
actually took lectures in those two subjects at Victoria, the college in 
Wellington, and while I was there of course I got to know other young people and 
I met my future wife up there and that was that. 431
