Standard 5 was in the parish rooms for more than 1 year I was in it ?1954. Im definitly not in the photo. Joyce Ball,Doreen Idden and Rosamond Barnes were also in my class.

Anne, I've uploaded a photo of our class of 1955. I remember the parish room well. We were the first class to go in there, where we had coal fires and at first had to walk to the school every dinner time to eat. Later we had facilities there.
