  1. I would be interested to see the photo for 1963 or 1964.
    Perhaps I am in it!

  2. I don’t think that school photos were taken every year, but I will check. In my time at the school (1968-1973) I only recall one photo being taken. There is a 1965 photo available on the website.

  3. That is a scary picture
    I am in row four and 19 from the left, just behind the leftmost teacher who I recognise but cannot name, in fact I can’t remember any names from that side intill I get to ‘Beefy’ Veal.
    From the first year I think Bob Williis is two along to my left, and that is definitely Chris ‘Jeep’ Willis to his left, and then Roger ‘Galba’ Goodger.
    Looking along the line of ‘masters’ made me wonder whatever happened to Roy Sowden, another good bloke, drove an Armstrong Siddley and was an officer in the ATC, and had all sorts of dramas in the Chemistry Lab.
    Starting from my memory, the masters are

    ‘Uncle’ Jack Davies
    ‘Wally’ Weekes

  4. Tony, Good to hear from you. Hope you have avoided the weather excesses in Aussie, and made the most of the Ashes win – the other matches do not count!
    From my deepest recesses from left – Bugsy Burrell (Biology), ? Mills (RE), ??, Dave Walters, Blodwyn Williams (PE), Bunny Warren ( Maths), Terry Veal……Ken Booth, Taffy Davies (History),??, Rodney Lucas (English/Music), ??,…..Roy Sowden, then it’s the prefects – Parrott, Stapley….
    I am pretty sure that the ones neither of us can identify never taught us, or we just weren’t paying attention in class!
