— People I Remember at King George V School

In 1960 we had to assemble on the field to have a photo taken of the whole school … There were lots of faces there which I remembered but couldn’t for the life of me remember their names ?

The kids who I do remember have been listed. Not all were friends, some were classmates, some just kids I knew outside of school and others were siblings of kids I knew, either older or younger!

I also listed the teachers I remembered, and I will add more information about them on this page … Memories of Teachers at King George V School.
