That's a lovely photograph...there's something about old photo's that seems to be lacking in modern ones,or is it just my best friend nostalgia that's getting to me again.

I think there was more of an innocence with girls of this age-group than there is now, Maureen, and it shows in their faces.

The teacher middle front is Miss Isherwood who taught maths when I was there.

The woman in the middle of the front row looks like a young Miss Isherwood who was a maths teacher.
