The exhibition attracted much interest. There were many pictures, and old boy Tony Sullivan (1953) brought along memorabilia, including his old kit bag. 
   

Tony remembers two lasses from the village, and has been hoping to renew acquaintance. He hasn't found the first girl yet but ...  ... here is the other! Joan, nee Ames, easily recognisable half a century later by the same big smile.
   

A reunion. Here's Tony, with Joan, pointing to her picture. There must be much to talk about.
 

But first - it's time to go to the Old Hall, where the School used to be. It's now a residential home, and the owner has kindly permitted a commemorative plaque to be placed near the entrance. This too will be unveiled today.
