I seem to remember that Mick Harrison won a few bob by having his hair cut in a 'Davy Crockett' style (animal skin hat complete with tail) one lunch time. He was told not to come back to school until he had an acceptable haircut!

Names Added to Photo:I have managed to put names to the majority of the boys in the 1A (1952) gym photo with Vic Roebuck.The two of the three doing the supported hand stands are guesses really, so if anyone can come up with the actual names, please do so.

There are 25 boys visible (one hidden behind the vaulter), 24 are named. There were 29 in the Form photo, the other five are :- Les Harrison, Keith Smith, John Charles, Graham Edwards and Paul Williams. (Thanks to Tony Whysall for verification and the addition of a name or two). Regards,  Les

Year of Entry 1950
With Taffy Davies in the Woodwork Room
Unfortunately the only one I recognise is David Batty immediately behind Taffy.  
In my time, '50-'57, we did woodwork and art  in 1A and then opted for one or the other. After 2A it appears that we did neither subject.
