It's in this section that the series'/textbook's mascot first makes an appearance. Apparently this was a puppet character of some description, but further details are hard to come by; no photographs survive and the cartoon representations in the text have been scribbled or scratched out, as has the character's name, though it appears to start with the letter 'R'.
I wish I knew who owned this copy, or how it ended up where it did. I went back to the the old school grounds at the end of September; it's just wasteland now, grass and young trees. I didn't stay long. Ridiculous as it sounds, I had the feeling that - well, I wasn't exactly being followed, but got the impression that someone was hiding behind the fence at the edge of the cleared site. I'm certain that I caught a glimpse of someone in grey moving quite fast. Or possibly some biggish wild animal, a really large cat perhaps.
