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? |
