Give Me Your Future Trivia Quiz

Pictured here are several children's books. Joey Bettany, later Maynard, becomes a writer and is one of the few former Chalet girls who carries on with her job after marriage, the marriage bar being in place when the books were written. Joey first shows her talent for writing when she writes fan fiction based on the 'Elsie' books in 'Jo of the Chalet School' while recovering from an accident; she also writes a story based on a Tyrolean folk tale, and Jem Russell sends it to a magazine and it wins a prize. In 'Jo Returns to the Chalet School', Joey writes her first proper book, but Matron criticises it for having unbelievable characters and Joey burns the manuscript. She rewrites the book, gives it the title of 'Cecily Holds the Fort' and sends it off to a publisher, and receives an advance for it.

Joey mainly writes girls' school fiction. 'Nancy Meets a Nazi' is based on the events of 'The Chalet School in Exile'. Several pupils are fans of her work. Later in the series, she branches out into historical fiction, and also edits an anthology of poetry.

The picture is a stethoscope, a device for listening to people's hearts, which is often used by doctors. Daisy Venables becomes a doctor like her uncle Jem - specifically, she's a paediatrician. She goes to university in London to study medicine and wins an award for a paper on infectious diseases in children.

While working in a hospital in London, she meets another doctor, Laurie Rosomon, and the two are engaged. Their wedding is in 'Joey Goes to the Oberland'. Although Daisy gives up her job after getting married and having children, when the Sanatorium moves to Switzerland, Laurie gets a job there and Daisy helps out on the children's wards.

Pictured is a grand piano. Margia Stevens is one of two notable piano prodigies in the 'Chalet School' series, the other being Nina Rutherford (the 'Genius' in the book of the same name). Margia is the daughter of an English journalist and a very talented pianist for her age; she plays the piano in the Christmas play in 'Jo of the Chalet School', and many concerts and plays thereafter. Margia studies piano under the notoriously temperamental music master, Herr Anserl, as she meets his high standards, and Matron Webb gets a shock when she hears Margia practising and realises she can actually play. She can also compose music, as shown when she sets a poem by Joey to music for Madge Bettany's birthday.

After leaving the Chalet School, Margia becomes a professional concert pianist and embarks on a world tour, playing in South Africa and Australia; however, she is temporarily stranded in South Africa when the Second World War breaks out. During the war, she trains as a nurse, but resumes her musical career afterwards; Nina mentions having seen her play several times.

The bust pictured here is Euripides, an ancient Greek playwright, and Eustacia Benson is a Classics scholar with an interest in Greek dramatists. She is the daughter of a doctor and a professor of Greek, and Classics is her main interest; when she joins the Chalet School, her knowledge of Latin and Greek is excellent and she takes Classics lessons with older girls. In 'The New House at the Chalet School', she tells the younger girls stories from Greek mythology. After leaving the Chalet School, she studies Greek at Oxford and becomes a doctor of literature who does scholarly Greek translations, and gives lectures on Greek dramatists; she has written a book on Aeschylus, a writer of tragedies.

In 'Challenge for the Chalet School', Eustacia temporarily comes back to teach maths and geography due to staff shortages. She fits the criteria as a temporary teacher, due to being an Old Girl and having knowledge of French and German.

This painting of a nun by Henriette Brown is called 'La Religieuse'. The Chalet School being a Christian school that was established in a majority Catholic region, it attracts many Catholic pupils, three of whom - Luigia di Ferrara, Robin Humphries and Margot Maynard - become nuns after leaving school. Luigia is Italian and the older sister of Bianca di Ferrara, one of Joey's friends.

In 'Exploits of the Chalet Girls', Bianca tells her friends and Madge that Luigia has joined the Order of St Clare, otherwise known as the Poor Clares, as a novice. Sadly, Luigia is also one of the few pupils to die young in the series; she is transferred to a German convent and during the Second World War, she dies in a Nazi concentration camp.

Pictured is an archaeological site, a temple in India. Mary-Lou Trelawney is the daughter of an entomologist and explorer who dies while on an expedition in Central America. She initially wants to be an explorer herself, but later changes her mind and decides on archaeology. Before leaving the school, she is presented with a first aid kit in a leather case as a leaving present and a reward for everything she has done for the school.

After leaving the Chalet School, Mary-Lou goes to Oxford to study archaeology, although she has to interrupt her degree to take care of her dying mother.

A new library building is opened and she is invited to dig the first spadeful of earth.

The picture shows a blackboard covered in mathematical equations, which might be Joey's worst nightmare, but not Simone's! Simone is one of many Old Girls who returns to teach. She is the most academic of the Quartette and studies at the Sorbonne, before getting a job as a teacher so that she can support her family. She rejoins the school as a maths teacher when it relocates to Guernsey in 'The Chalet School in Exile'. She is also the Fifth Form mistress.

Simone marries André de Bersac, a French officer, in 'The Chalet School Goes to It'. She temporarily returns to the Chalet School to teach maths when Miss Slater, the new maths teacher, is injured in a bicycle accident, and stays on in 'Gay from China at the Chalet School' due to multiple staff shortages. She also gives Jacynth Hardy extra maths tuition. She later gives up teaching and moves back to France.

Pictured are several fabrics in a draper's shop, like the one Sophie Hamel's father owns in Innsbruck. Herr Hamel is a self-made man and Sophie is very proud of his success, although Thekla von Stift looks down on her for being 'the daughter of a shopkeeper'.

When Sophie leaves school, she spends time as a governess for her younger sisters, but later helps her father in his shop. When St Mildred's pantomime costumes are burned in a fire, Sophie brings them a hamper full of different fabrics so that they can make replacements, as Herr Hamel is having a clear-out. Len Maynard organises some younger girls to sort through the fabrics.

The instrument in the picture is a cello, which Elinor M Brent-Dyer played herself, and so do several of her characters. One notable cellist at the Chalet School is Jacynth Hardy. Gay Lambert is learning to play the cello and teaches Jacynth, using one of the practice rooms with Miss Cochrane's permission, but Jacynth soon surpasses her. Miss Wilson lends Jacynth a cello that used to belong to her little sister Cherry, so that Jacynth can have her own cello to practice on, rather than using Gay's. If she becomes good enough to have lessons with Gay's teacher, Mr Manders, she can keep it, which she does. Jacynth plays the cello at various school plays and concerts.

After Jacynth leaves school, she becomes a professional cellist and goes on tours. When she is not touring, she lives with Gay's sister Ruth and her family.

The objects in this picture are carpentry tools, and carpentry is Tom Gay's big thing - although her actual career is a missionary who works in inner city slums, she gives boys carpentry lessons, so I thought the saws and so on were more representative. Tom first discovers her talent for woodwork when she helps make dolls' house furniture after Nella Ozanne hurts herself during Hobbies Club. She ends up building a dolls' house, which she calls 'Tomadit' ('Tom made it'), for the school Sale of Work, and this soon becomes a regular thing; whenever the school hosts a Sale of Work, Tom makes a dolls' house and it becomes a feature of a competition, from guessing the number of materials made to the year on an Elizabethan manor!

A vicar's daughter, Tom realises in 'Bride Leads the Chalet School' that she wants to become a missionary. After leaving school and then university, she runs a club for boys in the Docklands area of London and teaches them carpentry and woodwork, and continues to make dolls' houses for the Sales of Work; she also gets the boys to help and even make houses of their own. Tom also helps the boys to look for jobs and coaches them for exams.
