-Barbara met [[Ian Chesterton]] during his first year teaching at Coal Hill. That year was also the first time the two of them met outside of the school, with one such occasion being when he helped her with a school history trip to the [[Tower of London]] at the end of the summer term in June.

 On [[28 March]] [[1963]], the school bully [[Francis Minto]] lopped off the head of a snowman with his cricket bat. Miss Wright came to investigate after she heard [[Sadie Lederer]] cry, however, not wanting a reputation for snitching, everyone kept quiet. Miss Wright asked why Francis had a cricket bat out of season, but decided not to pursue the matter further.
