By the way looking at your pics of a Braai ,it looks as though you have the same dining room furniture as my bedroom
but could be mistaken!!!
That's not Lorna Benecke sitting next to the teacher, but her sister Sheryl. I wonder what's become of them!
I'm going to France in 3 weeks, so I'll dig into the old photos and see what I can find.
@Pam, I have loads of Pics to upload at the moment...I am just busy resizing them all and putting them into their relevant pages for uploading on the main site...should be soon....
Jeez Michael, you where quite "Skinny" then. You don't remember your teachers name?
I'm still Skinny, er..uhm... well my pinkie is still skinny....
That guy Immanual Mbeeli - I was in school with his brother Thomas and as far as I can remember they had a brother Joseph also........that's all...
The Mbeeli's were an entire clan in Oranjemund, I think there were about 8 of them, Bobby (Immanuel) works up at Elizabeth bay now, and is bigger than me, which always makes me happy too see him......
Out of all my official class photo's this is the only one that survived.
It was so long ago, I can't even remember all my classmates names. What a shame.
Hi Maxine. If I can remember, you'r front row last one on the right? Didn't your dad play goalkeeper for the OM soccer club?
Does anyone have photos of OPS std 4 and 5 from 1983, including the school hockey team pls

Does anyone remember Mr Joseph? Our Standard 4 teacher - I still have all the old photos. It's my 20 high school reunion (Rhenish) this year....sheesh the time flies.

@ Andrew - Are you sure there weren't class photo's that year? Maybe it was the day they sent you to go fetch something at the shop.... because they didn't want you on their photo? :nono1: sorriso2

Hi everyone!
I was in Oranjemund from 77 to end 82.
What a lovely find: my school photo from 1982, std 3ae: https://www.oranjemundonline.com/the%20people/images/Std3ae1982_jpg.jpg
I remember so many faces!
(I am in front, with the grey trousers.)
