Third row up, second one from the left is, I think, Keith Hurst, fourth from left is one of the Moore boys, but can't remember his first name. Recognize, faces, but forget names...

Bottom row, second from left, is I think, Kenneth Yates. Second row, first right, could be Sidney Byrom, although I thought he went to the Grammar School..It was a long time ago, not seen any of these people in over fifty years.

Top row 4th from right cold be my cousin Billy Deluce.

Hi Janet, Regarding the Moore boys only remember Geoff and John. It is Sydney Byron it was his elder brother Leonard who went to the grammer school.

Hi Janice, as I said it was a long time ago. There was a Kenneth Moore too, think he may be the one on the pic, they also had a daughter, Dawn, remember that, as it is the same name as one of my daughters. Sid Byrom was right, knew there was some connection to the Grammar school, your mind plays tricks as you get older, lol..

Is the 3rd boy in from the left on the second back row Jimmy Sutton?

second row from bottom second from right is Ronnie Close

bottom row first on the left is John Cross!

Bill Cochram started at the school on the same day as boys in the photograph.
I remember that day very well.
The first thing that we did was to go into the main hall for the register to be taken.
When Mr. Cochram called out my name he pronounced it as “William Deluchi,” to which I replied “Yes Mr. Cochroach.” He wasn’t happy with my answer and called me onto the stage and said “This is the way I treat bad behaviour.” He then pulled on the hairs near my ear and attempted to lift me up. I can assure you that it was very painful.
We got along fine after that.
