Don't ask me names, I only recognize a few of them.  I'm in front row, closest to camera.

Back row:  René Groenewald, Ronel Watson, Dirk Swanepoel, Melanie Wilson, John Smith, Marcelle Tuck, Bertie Horak.

This wasn't the full complement of the prefect list for that year, there was a bit of an incident with some of the prefects just before this photo was taken.

The headmaster is Mr.Hodge

[Bertie Horak]

Thanx Michael, just edited my post.

[Carl Wrbka]

Bertie, the girl next to you looks very familiar. She was in one of the English classes if I remember correctly.

[Bertie Horak]

Yes, she was Carl, and it's on the tip of my tongue.  Will remember eventually!

[Sheena]

I'll help you out of your misery.  Her name is Marcelle Tuck.

[Bertie Horak]

@ Sheena - Thank you, thank you!  I have edited into the post.  Please tell me, were you there as well?  Do I know you?  I'll feel the total #*!$ if I don't remember another name!

[Bertie Horak]

Can somebody help?  This was the athletics team representing the "Diamond" mines.  I can not remember what year I was in then.  Must have been 1974/1975.

top row from left: 1. may be Corney Schreuder

second row from left: 3rd person Andrew Morrow

third row from left: 4 person: Lynette Beziudenhout

fourth row from left: 5th person: one of the Ebstein boys. Docter Venter the Headmaster

fith row from right: 2nd person I think a Kobus. He lived dow the road from us. He was one of the best athlets the school had in those days. Did a flic-flac backwards at the age of about 9.

Recognise some faces but no more names.

[Bertie Horak]

Yes Georg, it is Corné Schreuder, her sister Hanli sits next to Daphne Steyn to the left of Dr Venter.  You're right about Kobus (Van der Merwe).

@ Michael, do you think I should put names down with photo and edit them in as more is confirmed, or would this take up too many space with replies? I know a few more of the lower standards, but need help especially with "older kids".
How's that for diplomacy - call them "older", yet to save my skin, followed by "kids".  Learn Carl, learn!

[Michael Alexander]

Edit rather...otherwise the names become dispersed over too many pages...it's always better for the person who is viewing the pic to read and see what names are missing...

[Bertie Horak]

Ok, will do so!
