I am sitting on the right hand side of Mr Marsden It would be great if there are any more of you still around. It was a great class Lower Five C . It would be great to hear from anyone who was in the class.
Here is who I remember, I would love to have my memory jogged for the other names.....!
Back Row: Maurice Glover, Martin Beatty, Harold Barker
Front Row: Irene Flynn, Margaret Marsland and Margaret Smith.

I have just remembered two of my class mates sitting next to each other on the front row are Marian Hindley and Jean Ricketts...

pleased that Garry left a message but not sure who he is.
More girls than boys - yes but lower 5C was the best class in the school at that time. We were a great class even though a few of us managed to get detentions!!
