Jamaica – Education in the 40s & 50s: “The Way It Was”

The backyard is buzzing with seniors excited to share their stories

with the current and future generation of Jamaicans about, the

School days of their youth.

This week our special guest is Mrs. Hyacinth Webb (nee Sampson),

was born in Port Maria, St. Mary.  At the tender age of 2 Ms Hyacinth moved

to Port Antonio Portland, where she started in Port Antonio  Infant School.

Her entire school experience was in beautiful Port Antonio where she

graduated from Titchfield Secondary School in the mid 50s.

In 1976 Ms. Hyacinth together with some of her school mates, started the

NY chapter of the Titchfield Alumni Association.  If you are a ‘Portantonion’

be sure to bring a friend and join us for a stroll down memory Lane Wed:
