Looking
through some family records the other
evening I came across te attached photo
which I didn't
know I had. Hope it is clear enough for
you to use. It is the school choir and
orchestra 1961/62, the only year I was in
the choir (as a treble). My voice broke
that summer and that was that as far as
singing in the choir went!
"Joe" Kirk is once again absent
(compare other orchestra photos) and I
can only identify a handful of people on
it (this is 40 years ago). I recognise a
lot of faces but can't recall the names
that go with them. Maybe other site
members of the various years involved can
help in confirming/ correcting my
thoughts and/or adding their own. So here
goes:-
Extreme front left (with guitar) is Tony
Hazzard. (if he'd been a Beatle this
photo might be worth a few bob now!).
Next but one to him is W.D.(?)
Johnson (head boy that year or the year
after). Front centre left on flute is
Stuart McIntosh (later football 1st XI
goalie ). Extreme front right (on
violin?) is Bob Steel. To his immediate
right Geoff Johnstone???.
Moving back to the choir and the row
sitting on the stage front edge:- On
extreme left, next to Newell Post on
banister rail, Steve O'Leary (?) supreme
mile runner in later years. Next but
three -yours truly.Next but three again
and dead centre - Graham Eades of our
year. Next but three again Gerald White
(?) of our year.Next but two Brian Shaw
(?) of our year.
Row behind:- Fifth in from left G.K.
Wilson (Willo) - scorer for cricket 1st
XI in later years and who, standing as
the Liberal candidate, won the school
General Election in 66? or 67? (much to
"Spud" Heyward's delight - see
appreciation of him). Fifth from extreme
right - Norman Gray of our year. Next to
him John Collier (?) of our year.
Row behind:- Centre - Graham Ledger
Can anyone else identify any others? One
other point, really a question. This
photo was taken in the old hall which
doubled as the gym. The numerous plaques
hanging on the walls - what was their
significance? Anyone know/remember? |
