Debs

'I had my debs there,' she said, 'four years ago last summer.'

'Ah, the debs!' I go. 'God, I could tell you some stories about my debs days. Like, for instance, the one where I went to two different debses on the same night. That's a famous one about me.'

David Maxwell, a member of the board of management of the school, said cars bringing teenagers to the debs were travelling in convoy and that friends and neighbours were first on the scene of the crash.
