We also collected old newspapers in one air raid shelter, I was there from '45 until '51. went back to visit about 2years after i left and couldn't believe that I sat at those small desks.

Can only remember one May Queen and that was Joyce Simmonite who lived on deerlands Ave where I lived, she was a stunner.

I went from '56 till '61, I remember the air raid shelters! We used to collect loads of jam jars that were stored in there for recycling. Can't see young kids being allowed to carry glass jars to school these days.

Does anyone remember the song that Mr. Cleary taught us when we were due to leave school for the 6 week holidays, he left to teach at De La Salle School in Burngreave. Does anyone know the whereabouts of Francis Fawcett, Pat Ashton, Freda Woodhead and Jacqulene Bagshaw or others in that class, Marie Bowman lives in Newcastle.

Has this now died a natural death ?.

[malagablade 10]

looks that way. i actually left in 64 not 61 !?

[Alan Belk 10]

Well Magablade, so it died after you left, so it was not down to me then in'56.

Great school, many good, funny and happy people and that was just the teachers, so the torch actually died without an Olympic event, maybe were ahead of our time, what a buggeration that was.

Schools are now getting better for the worse, unfortunately these people will be the new polititians, death where is your sting.(good init).
