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.
