Title: CS Goes Modern
Post by austriaamy on Sep 8^th, 2003, 5:13pm

I've started this story and I was thinking about adding it to Die Rosen, but I want to see what everyone thinks of it first. Basically, the CS starts the kind of education we get in the 21st century. It's set around 1973.

*Sorry that I've not replied sooner, but I lost the document that I'd saved it on to.*

Chapter 1:
New Arrangements

Felicity Maynard stepped up onto the dais, and surveyed her school with eyes that sparkled. She couldn't wait to see what the school thought of the new arrangements.
Felecity Maynard had been made headmistress of the Chalet School two years before, when the former head Hilda Annersley had given up teaching full time. She had at the time been the head English teacher.
"Good afternoon school. Can you all hear me?"
A low murmer of assent assured her that they all could.
"You will all probably be wondering why I have summoned you here just now, so I will waste no time in telling you. Tere are some cirriculum changes taking place outside of this school which will affect all of you.
"Among other things, you will be learning some new subjects, things that not a lot of people have had an opportunity to do in the past, but hopefully have a chance to do now."
At this, Felicity stopped. She surveyed the girls standing below her. Her girls. Hopefully this new cirriculum would open wider job opportunities than Madame, Mademoiselle and Miss Annersley would have thought possible.
" When you go upstairs to your form rooms, your form mistresses will hand out timetables and tell you more about this."
After that, she switched to other topics, and finally dismissed the girls.
Liz Entwistle, the daughter of Felicity's eldest sister Len and a shining light of Upper IVB, looked at her own clan, which consisted of her twin sister Lucy, Eilidh Williams, Annie O'Leary, Fiona Douglas and her cousin Stella Bryant.
"I forsee that we're going to have quite an interesting term!"
And the others couldn't help agreeing with her.

*Next part coming soon!*

Love the idea, although I'm not sure about the dates.

It will be very interesting to see what changes they make and what reactions there will be to them.
