路的尽头是幸福

章节摘录

版权页：   插图：   The Principal visited every class every two weeks, reading the nameand performance rank of every student. Those who fell in rank more thana place or two were deemed to be "slacking" (not working their utmost)and then subjected to special review at every class period, with nightlyreview by the housemaster. If they continued unsatisfactory, they werebeaten with a rod that evening by the housemaster. Somehow I survivedthe adjustment, eventually, I managing to catch something of the spiritof academic competition, even doing well enough to surprise my formmaster. But, just as I was becoming well settled in the third term, wordcame that I was to move yet again. The parents had found the fees toomuch, and with two little girls about to need schooling, decided to sendme to the public local day school near home. The new school in the autumn of 1950 was to be FarnboroughGrammar School. I was initially assigned to the weakest, coarsest, worstbehaved class. My King William's manners and elegant speech were not reallywelcome, but I silenced them all soundly one day by showing that I knew allthe things they thought coarse and funny, and a good deal more besides. Soon, I was transferred to the science class, remaining withthem through the first set of General Certificate examinations at age15. In those, I eventually equaled the performance of the best inclass. Farnborough had a strong corps of cadets. In the quite happy,productive nearly five years, I made my way through the ranks to seniorcadet posts. Headmaster had the clear idea that I should apply foradmission to Sandhurst, the opposite number of the United StatesMilitary Academy, West Point. I did take the examination, scoring in 8thplace in the entire United Kingdom national competition, but my realinterest was in university entrance.
