When my father was a pupil it was a boarding school, I wonder if it is still boarding or even if it still functions?

It was an exclusive school, a somali Eton or Harrow.

Most of the graduates got scholarships to continue their studies abroad.

Father made me laugh, too, he and some of his friends went to visit the head master at his house and they saw the wine bottles Shocked otherwise he was a very strict man, he made them walk a very fine line, they woke up at a certain hour, shower, brush their teeth and iron their clothes, if any of the students did something out of character he published it in the school newspaper the next day for all to see and the poor student felt embarassed by his peers, there was this Reer Bari Sacad Yunis kid who was very bright they made fun of him and his funny accent so he hit one of the kids in the face and the incident was in the paper the next day
