Jean Rodger's schooling; the ghost at Forfar East School and what it said.

Jean Rodger attended the South School in Forfar, then the Academy. She taught for most of her career in the East School, which was supposed to have a ghost, which cried, "Pea soup, pea soup, I'm brakin my hert for pea soup." This was in the days before school meals.
