A Teacher in Salisbury

(Nick Mclver spoke to Jerry Lewis, a secondary school teacher in the city of Salisbury, southwest England)

Salisbury has long been one of my favourite British cities. Surrounded on all sides by hills, it nestles in low ground and is served by five rivers, two of them famous for the excellence of their fishing. Salisbury is the county town of Wiltshire.

The most famous feature of Salisbury is the Cathedral spire, the tallest in Britain. This is the first thing to be seen by the traveller descending into the valley from any direction. Once there, the visitor finds the place to be a well-ordered bit busy market town whose centre is dotted with shops, pubs and other buildings dating from the middle ages.

The original Salisbury was three kilometres to the north, the Celtic hill fort of Old Sarum. Old Sarum was occupied by the Romans and then by the Normans, who built a castle and cathedral. In 1220, after a dispute with the Norman barons the bishop rebuilt his cathedral on its present site, and designated a new town which flourished through the centures with trade in wool.

Today Salisbury is a city of some 40,000 inhabitants, and it really comes alive on Tuesdays and Saturdays when people from the surrounding villages come to shop in the market..

When 1 went to Jerry's home to talk to him, I asked him first just to tell me something about himself.

J. Well, I'm 44 years old, unmarried, and I teach English in a local secondary modern school. I own my own house — a smallish terrace house just outside the centre of the city, with three bedrooms and a small garden.

Secondary modern schools like Jerry's take children who have not pass the entrance examination for a grammar school. They attend the school between the ages of 11 and 16. Jerry explained that his school day begins at 08.30 and ends at 16.00.

N. How much extra curricular work do you do?

J. Quite a lot actually. There is always marking to be done and evenings when I meet the parents and soon. And then 1 take on extra duties, mainly in the areas of sport and drama. I'm a keen cross country runner myself, and I train the school cross country team, which means taking groups of children out running during their lunch breaks, usually a couple of times a week. And then, on the drama side, 1 produce the annual school play. We normally have to start preparing this in the spring term to have it ready by the summer.

N. What plays have your pupils performed?

J. It varies from year to year. We've done an adaptation of Treasure Island, by Robert Louis Stevenson, and we've done Shakespeare — A Midsummer Night's Dream. Last year the boys wrote and produced their own play.

1 could see from Jerry's house that he took running very seriously. His shelves are covered with medals and cups that he has won over the years in various races. Since he is now over 40 he is classified as a "veteran" — a term he doesn't like — but he still continues winning. To keep himself fit, he usually run from forty to fifty kilometres a week and more if he's training for the race. What else does he enjoy doing?

J. As well as running, I love walking. The countryside around Salisbury is magnificent, and there are some wonderful walks. My idea of a perfect day is to walk out of town and stop for lunch and a drink in a small village pub — in the summer you can sit outside, or in the winter by a log fire.

Jerry also likes cooking. On a Saturday he goes down to the market early in the morning to catch the best of the produce, and frequently entertain friends and relatives to dinner in the evening. When not at home he is often to be found in his local pub, the 14lh century "Haunch Venison" where he has many friends.

N. I've been teaching in Salisbury so long that many of my ex-pupils are now friends that I meet in the pub. It's strange, sometimes, to think to myself: I remember when this chap was just a boy!

Occasionally he goes to the cinema, but, he explained, he prefers the theatre.

N. I go by myself with friends, or with groups from school. Last week we went and saw Noel Coward's Relative Values. I'm not very keen on Coward myself, but the kids loved it.

School teachers work hard, but it is a compensation that they have long holidays. There are three school terms in the year — autumn, spring and summer. Each term has a one-week break in the middle, called half-term, and then there is a two-week holiday at Christmas, two weeks at Easter and two months in the summer. What does Jerry do with his holiday time?

J. 1 love just to sit back and relax, or catch up on my reading. 1 have some good friends who run skiing trips to Switzerland, and I sometimes go along and help them. And in the summer I always try to go over to France, either on my own or with family or friends.

N. Why France?

J. Oh, I just love the place. I like everything about it: the food, the language, the people, the countryside.

N. One last question, Jeriy You've lived and worked in Salisbury for over 20 years. What keeps you here?

J. That's a difficult one. My job, I suppose. 1 often complain, but who doesn't? On the whole, though, I'm happy with it. Then most of my friends live here or nearby. And the city itself; it's a beautiful place, full of history, surrounded by amazing countryside and within easy reach of some of my favourite places. No, I wouldn't change it.
