AI Notes
A narrow strip torn from a sheet of three-hole notebook paper, showing a child’s school work in pencil. Three sentences are written in printed capitals at the top, followed midway down the strip by the teacher’s grade ‘S Good’ (or ‘Good’ with an ornate flourish ‘S’ — possibly ‘Satisfactory’) written in red crayon and underlined. The lower half of the strip has a vertical column of ten spelling words. The reverse of this sheet (page 214) carries the rest of the lesson and the heading ‘Chris Friday’ — almost certainly Chris (Christopher) McEwan, who would have been roughly six to ten years old in the mid-1950s. Show-through of words from page 214 (went, go, red, bed, stop, etc.) is visible faintly in the right margin.
