As well as having a "downer class" we also had 2 girls in wheelchairs.

One girl was normal, even cute, but the other was a little rough around the edges (ie bordering retarded). Again there's no use talking about her or any of these Merrimac Moments and trying to be PC, so i'm going to lay it out straight.

My most treasured memory of her was on Sports Carnival day, when she was there for support for her team.

Her helper, which was an older lady of about 40 and looked like a lumberjack, must have gone to the toilet and she was there on a the side of the oval by herself. Then she suddenly sneezed into her hand, and the force moved her wheelchair back almost a foot. She then proceeded to pick and eat the remains of the sneeze from her hand, like one would pick the best sunflower seeds and then eat them.

I can't remember if she had a nick name at all but she did have a heavy, female moe and hairy legs.
