These lads were born in 1944 and there was so many of them Clegwell had 2 classes ie 4a & 4b..
These lads left school in 1959 not long after having their class photo taken.
I am looking for the other 1959 4b class photo and hoping🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 someone might have one I could copy for a friend that has been looking for one.?

PS some names in his class were Harry Sprouting, Bill Elliott, John Cowie, ? Burdis & / Falconer.
Maybe if one of these is still around they will have a pic.

Hi Joseph.
Ken Wappatt was the same family as Frank.
He was a great cross country runner and we nicknamed him Wappat the Whippet.
