Those are the ones who definitely stay, there are more who don't reappear in Switzerland, including most of the other Chalet School importees.

Valerie Arnott went to Switzerland in the end after all. She said she was staying in Changes but was in Barbara so am assuming she didn't end up going

And then she is mysteriously replaced as second prefect by Veronica Worsley one book later with no mention of why....

There are half a dozen student who say they aren't going, show up in Barbara and then are never seen again - Beth Lane, Mollie Woods, etc.

Thanks. This is my first attempt to write a full length drabble, so I am actually trying to be accurate for once!! :lol:

Would it be at all possible to get ages for the pupils and staff (even if they are just rough).

Also what year would this be, and how old would Elizabeth Arnett be at this stage?

Thanks,

Brie

The Seniors are all 17. The Middles except Caroline Soames are Mary Lou and Co's age with Caroline Soames being Maeve Bettany's age so about 13 or so and Gaynor Christy is about 7. I have no idea about the Mistresses but Miss Edwards and Miss Norman were in Tyrol when Joey was Head Girl so would assume they are a few years younger than Hilda and Nell. Miss Everett was a gardner for the Lucy's before teaching at the school so amassuming she around the same age and the others only joined or were mentioned in Island onwards so I think are quite young. Liz Arnott is about 24-26 years old depending on how many missing years there are in between books

Primrose Trevoase, Peggy Harper are two prominent characters who stay, albeit for a few years only in Primrose's case.

Am I right in thinking Ruth Lamont also stayed behind? If I am, then side tracking slightly, it seems to be another example of EBD's lack of affection for Sybil, since I vaguely remember Madge saying something about how happy she was Sybil and Ruth were friends ...

Changes states that Ruth's father has said she may go to Switzerland if she does well in exams, but I don't think we ever hear about her results. However, there is this mention of Ruth in Kenya:

Quote:
Sybil has always been pally with Ruth Lamont and, for the last two or three terms, they seem to have taken Elinor Pennell to their bosoms.


This implies (to me, at least) that Sybil and Ruth have been in the same location to be friends.

There are also a number of girls who could have been at Carnbach, in that they appear before the school leaves, but aren't mentioned in Switzerland - the spreadsheet has them. Most are characters only mentioned in passing, but of ones where there is actually a description of some sort:

Anne Webster and Lilias Robertson are potention sixth formers (or prefects), as are Iris Drew and Gillian Moggeridge and Allison Grant, Sarah Lomax and Sylvia Peacock from the other CS School.

Fifth Formers: Armine Brown, Judy O'Connor and Jennifer Penrose and Anne Gordon, Maureen Grey, Marian Tovey from the other CS.

Fourth Formers: Olwyn Hughes and Terry Wake, Jane Abbot, Dorothea Fletcher, Nora O'Connor, Stella Porter, Thyra Bjornessen

Third Formers: Lilias Hume

Second Formers: Signa Bjornesson, Bridgie O'Connor

Oh, and Ruth Herbert was there until her death.
