This photograph was taken the year after the previous photograph. Taken in 1947. four other pupils are shown, that were missing previously. Mr Tatum is the teacher shown. He was also the science teacher. I can remember like it was yesterday. In 1946, he came to the school, with Mr Grange. Both were in uniform. Very smart.

Jimmy. I remember Mr Tatum, when he came out of the R.A.F. He got a car with a soft top. It was, ? Standard. It had the union jack in the middle of the bonnet, at the front. I suspected his parents bought it. He wasn't married then. I took papers out for Tatum's newsagents. I got lumbered, with washing it. Didn't get any extra remuneration for it.
