Stephanie Ray was in the year ahead of me. She left in 1960 for Varndean Girl's and I went to Varndean Boy's in 1961. There are familiar faces in this picture but they would be from the school orchestra rather than classmates. Jane Peckham is obvious - she was the daughter of the headmaster and played the cello. There were two Janets one of whom may be here - 'Watkins' and 'Waller' as I remember. Also Elaine Maybe - an unusual name which comes to mind looking at one of the seated girls. I won't identify which as I am not sure it is a match! I have a similar picture for our year class.

I think the boy in the second row 3rd from right is Michael Golby. I also remember Noel Green, but could not pick him out. I know there was a Maltese girl in our class and I think she is in the second row from front in the middle with a white hairband. Can't remember her name though.

OK Jennifer - where are you in the photo?

Jane Peckham was the daughter of the headmaster. She and her father used to catch the same number 12 bus to school. I was in Mr Smithers class for a couple of years - I think I have a photo somewhere of the 1957 class.

I believe it was Michael Small, David Holden and Jennifer Lenz is sitting second on the right on the floor, next to Jennifer Mann. Funnily enough, I saw Jacqueline Davis today; although she is my cousin I don't see her that often.

Hi Judith - Thanks for the names - Who knows, we may be able to fill all the names in eventually! I remember you and your cousin so well from school - you were the fun one and your cousin, the posh one. Anyone else remembered any more names?

Did any of you know Miss Gunn? She now lives in my care home Meadowcroft in Shoreham-by-Sea, and will be reaching the grand age of 100 on the 22nd February. I was trying to get some of her past pupils to attend a birthday party on the day at 3pm. Anyone who would remember her and would like to come, please email me on rachel@meadowcroftcarehome.co.uk. Thank you.

That is indeed me at the back on the left-hand side. I can half recall some of the others in the 'photo. I'll ponder and get back. My mum will probably be able to help me out.

Yes, it's me squatting on the left of the picture!  Wonderful surprise to see a photo of old school mates. I spent a lot of time with Andrew? Reddy and Kenneth Gray as well as Chris Brittain. Happy happy days!

Hi Jennifer Mann. I remember you so well. The brothers David and Andrew Reddy lived in Montpelier Crescent, as did Christine Brittain - We all walked home together. What a cool gang. Best regards.

That is indeed me standing 3rd from right. I recognise Dave Reddy, who I last saw years ago after he moved to Jersey, John Carpenter (Zimmermann as was) who emigrated to Australia and Bob Bienkowski with whom I was a friend for many years though I haven't seen him for a while now. I also recognise Mickey Davies as I still have vivid memories of accidentally whacking him on the head with a cricket bat after school. There should be John Humphries and Paul Spalding in there somewhere. John is, I think, on my right.

Hi Mick - You stirred up a few memories for me. Mickie Davies made an impression on me that has lasted all my life - he jumped on my back on the way home, I fell face first and broke my newly acquired front teeth - had crowns ever since! I was deputy to John Carpenter when he was Head Boy at Fawcett in 1965 - I think he became a policeman eventually.

Following on from my last post - If you zoom in on me, you can see the gap in my teeth - Wow, thanks Mick ;-)
