Who can put names to the staff?
Oh migawd... don't know which year this was ... but yes in my time .. top left Mr Fourie ( he could be a crabby character ) next to him Barry Hattingh ... back second from the right ... Mrs Wilson ...
Music teachers ... row just behind front ... the big old lady .3rd from left she was one of our music teachers ... then same row far right the man with the fancy collar also a music teacher ... forget their names ...
Battling with the rest of faces and names .. and then of course front row from left they need no introduction mrs Coffin .. Mr Dickinson of the legendary flat plank for 3 of the best .. the feared Tinka Castle .. , Dr Venter ,, Mrs Venter .. Mr Van der Merwe the PT teacher ..

Istn't the man top left Mr.Visser. The lady next to him is Mrs. Solomom the Art teacher.
Georg you so right ... thanks ... my grey cells still clattering around . it was mr Visser ,, the crabby one .. the lady next to him was indeed Barry Solomon ( Hattingh was her name before she got married ) she was a unique wonderful and caring soul and a good art teacher ... now to find Mr Steyn Fourie ,,, ...
The male "above" Doc Venter is Johan Heunis and the one behind Zandie is Mr Smal, he was the music teacher.
