d at 58 Alexandra Avenue Southall? She went to Art College after school, and I lost touch with her. Would be very interested to have any info about her.

There was an 80th anniversary in 1987, and I was invited back with my husband for a celebration lunch with some of the original staff, which included Mr Vernon, Miss Brooke and Mrs Stead.
It was really very strange to be eating at their table! In the evening, there was a concert, and I played a piano solo. The piano was the same one that had been there when I was a pupil. Some more staff arrived including Mrs Botley, Miss Seidmann and Miss Nourse. There were also some of my year there including Peter Kelly and his wife Janet (nee Mackenzie who had been Captain of White House) Derek Matthews, Vera Woodhouse and Beryl Worrall.

Has anyone heard from Veronica Brend, Sara Morgan, Ray Wheeler, Paul Hibbins, who was quite a talented violinist, Gloria Fuge, Anne Brice, Shirley Billings or Terry Smith?

Tony Yates lives round the corner from me here in Fleet, and I think he will also be joining the Old Southallians. He is still in contact with Les Wicks.

orman the physics teacher who married Miss Fairey. Mr Goodman, history, Trog maths, and Simmonds music. Miss Slater was the French teacher and as I was and still am useless at Maths I was in set 4 which was Mrs Franzek

in Canada.
I lived in Marlbourgh rd untill we
moved to essex in jan 1962.I would love to get in
conntact with Alan again in fact anybody who can

Did you know? The School still holds in its archives pupil admission cards with portrait photo, for those years. There was concert and exhibition held in 1997 to commemorate the 90th anniversary of founding. The School is 100 years old in 2007. Little has changed internally.The assembly hall seems exactly the same as in 1954 and elsewhere inside the room functions and decor are the only appa rent differences.Outside side and rear changes are significant. A large annexe now stands over where the long jump pits used to be and of course the wooden classroom sheds ,bike racks and outside toilets are no longer there. ... more >>

Valerie VanBaar	by David Willson (Member 10001041) on 14-Nov-2000
Valerie was a senior year student in 1957/8 at Dormers Wells school. I lost touch with her that year (1958) though she kept in touch with my family for several years. My last knowledge of Valerie's location was Portsmouth - but now I have no idea at all. If anyone reading this has any information about Valerie - or can put her in touch with me - please do so. Thank you, "Davey Crocket!" AKA Dave Willson.
