When He Taught School West Nicholson School Riot
An old conductor recalls teaching at West Nicholson where a planned prank escalates into a full schoolroom brawl. Two former pupils, Charley Nichols and Will Worrall, lead a date with staged turmoil, a dam breaks flooding the room, a cow drowns, and the instructor is forced to flee. Returning later, the class writes to beg his return and later presents him a chair as a Christmas gesture.
