Hi Evelyn...Great photo, must admit I don't ever remember seeing it before. Don must have a good memory to name all those lads.....The lad second from left front row is Robert Farrington and the lad middle of the front row is Jack Highton not Eric......memories !!!.

Hi again....I've just remembered!...the guy far right back row I think is Ernest Hurst

Thanks Bob, you obviously have a good memory too.
Don was surprised you hadn't seen this one before.
We also have the ones you have put on previously.

Evelyn, many thanks for bringing back such happy memories. It is many years since I stood in that playground trying to look serious. Sadly, some of the faces that look out at you are no longer with us nor is the school.
