Then our teacher,Mrs. Thomasina Posey, I will never forget her name or how beautiful she was, gathered us around the piano to learn the song "Ting-a-layo", about a singing,talking donkey. About half way through the song Mrs. Posey fell off of the piano bench, and was just lying there very still. My friend David Zachary jumped up and said "SHE'S DEAD". We all headed for the cloak room to get our coats to go home, just as the principal, Mrs. Brown entered the room to stop us. Mrs. Posey was epileptic and had a seizure, which was monitored by the office. We didn't know, we just just thought that was the end of school that day.
