3A Class photo

Just a couple of additions to the legend. The lad sitting front left is George Clarkson, sadly he died at a very young age (30's?) The master is English master Crouch. Gaines first name was Robert.

Re: 3A Class photo

What year is the photo (so i can find it) and is Dave's description above the final version I should use to replace current description?

Re: 3A Class photo

Its the year below me. So it would have been taken in 1961-2. Maybe the same time as the Form 4X photo.

Thats me to the right of the bearded wonder Mr Crouch.
Good memories of KGBS and most of the masters especially Basher Braithwaite (sadly deceased) who was still good enough in his retirement to get my daughter through her Maths GCSE. He was a gem

Re: 3A Class photo

1962 Brian.

Remember?

Photographs were taken every 2 years but, in 1962 we couldn't have a 'panoramic' because of the fire - never understood the reasoning behind that as it didn't affect the playground, so we had indiviual Form photographs instead.
