Swinging the leg, 1965


Waddell and Nuttall on sick call, same dormitory as the Ian Brown inspection, first up the stairs on the way to Jones's and Boyle's studies, full of Intermediate (now Year 10) students.
It was always just "swinging" at Grammar: the full term was never used. Even if you were genuinely sick it was assumed, for jocular purposes, that you were swinging.
