The above building was built in the mid 70's and now serves as the Home economics class.

When we went in here, I got goosebumps. I have not stepped into this building since 1978. This was the original school Audiotorium, the place where we would watch reel movies of Danny the Cat and Zibbi on how to cross the road and zappit in a Zibbi Blik. The musty smell is still in this room after all the years.

The School Library was by far my favourite place in the school. I was happy to know that my my childhood book was still in circulation. "The Great Brain", by Fritspatrick.

I never actually knew this room in my day, but it is part of the Library complex and was known as the projector room in the old days.

Behind the library, this is where we would spend many a break running inside the old fenced off tennis court (since removed), playing games like Stingers, Red Rover and Skalulu to name a few.

This is the door is next the library. I found out today, that this building actually housed the Oranjemund Photographic Society and had a windowless darkroom in the back. I lived here for 38 years and never knew this.

Inside the darkroom.

You don't get many doors like this in Oranjemund. This is the door to the Darkroom.

The teacher here, is none other than former OPS pupil herself, Joanna Kalonda. She was a pupil at OPS in 1977 and her teacher was MR.Badenhorst. Always great to see the wheel turning.

The Chessboard Quad, the enterance to my least favourite subject at OPS, woodwork.

Moving with the times, Oranjemund Private School's Computer Room. Top Notch stuff and a subject that I so dearly wished had been around in my day instead of the Abacus.

I would just like to thank Mr.Dieter Meyer for taking a bit of time out of his hectic schedule for showing us our memories.
