1945

The picture is for prefects of 1953-4, and entry of 1945/6, I think. I am likely to remember as "Reg" Benwell and I were the only non-prefects in the Upper 6th that year. I have some pictures of students and cadets which I shall attempt to send. I was at school from 1946-54. I am more or less retired and live in Brisbane. Anyone visiting the antipodes is welcome. I am keen to contact Richard Cooper (1947-54) and would appreciate any information.Good wishes, Robin Shorthose
   
   
6th Modern in 1952.jpg (99443 bytes) UVIM in 1952  I think this is the U 6th Modern (not the Science group anyway) Back row:       ???
Front row:  Suriakant Patel, Is this Gerard Evans?, ?   ET Ward, Hancock, Batuk Ghatani, AC Thomas?

The two Indian students came from Nairobi. Suria took and economics degree and went to India (Madras) when the asians were kicked out of E Africa. He ran one or more businesses in textiles and milling.  Batuk was London correspondent for the Times of India, and may still be. I think some of the others may be on other photos too. Gerard Evans went to Cambridge and used to do a slot on the Weeklies for the BBC on Saturday mornings.
