Back row; 3rd from the left, can't recall his name, but he was a very talented artist, despite being colour blind; 5th from the right; Me, Roy Hesketh.
Centre row, 4th from the left, Mr. White (woodwork); 5th from the right, Earnie Grifiths (Biology; History; English).
The large cup was the School Cup, won by the House and the two smaller cups were for interhouse sports, I think.
I recognised Ernie Griffiths as soon as I saw him and I was at the Deanery from 1977- 1982. He never changed.
In front of Ernie Griffith = ??? Higson
Roy Woodwork teacher was Chris Walsh.

The woodwork teacher was Mr Walsh not White.Pity you can't add a few names.

Hi Dennis,

Ernie Griffiths was a pain at times but looking back he was the best and most respected teacher in the school, keep in touch.
