"Excellent website - I have seen the cheeky comment re my website (www.oldgadgie.com...now not online) and have now included suitable comments under the school badge pic. (like hens teeth those badges you know!)
I was at the school 1963 - 1968 & had a great time. Love the photos of the old tutors.
Keep up the good work.
[ We've since acquired another badge for you to nick, Les]
Athol Walton has been in touch and pointed
out that the Form 4 photo was wrongly on Intake Year 1964 and has kindly
supplied the names of the pupils. He's looking at more stuff he can
send..get in that loft, Athol.
Subsequently, he has supplied these Year 1, Year 2 and Lower 6 photos, with many names to faces. He says "That about all I can find or remember. Must put a disclaimer in for wrongful identification or spelling."
