Build a bonfire

Build a bonfire put the teachers on the top, put the prefects on the bottom and burn the bloody lot!

Anyone else remember this little ditty from their schooldays?

It's not a school burning in the picture but Luton town Hall in the peace day riots of 1919 when disaffected servicemen went on the rampage. I've seen before and after pictures before but this is the first time I've seen a picture of it burning. Original was black and white and lacked contrast so I've meddled just a little to try and give a sense of how it might have looked on the night.
