25th anniversary dinner in the school hall (the present day library). Walter Padley is seated between the window and external door, next but one to the right of the vicar. Walter returned to the school again in 1978 for the 50th anniversary.

blocked by Stan Wykes).Gywnneth was a former pupil who became school secretary.
