Re: accrington High School 1960-1966

Accrington High School for Girls opened on 8th September 1939 - the opening was delayed by a week because of the outbreak of the Second World War. I have opened a thread on the AHS Facebook page. I started at the school in September 1960 - it was the 21st birthday of the school - there were a lot of special events. Please contact me if you would be interested in a 75th anniversary reunion in September 2014.

Judith, are you aware that Jean (Burton) ?? , who is not a computer user, organises a 5-year reunion for the girls of '53, so it should be this year. Last time's was held in the Peel Park. Email or PM me. I may have emailed you recently and due to a glitch any replies have been lost.

I'm wondering if anyone would be interested in a "whole school" reunion such as the 50-year one held in 1989? Please let me know if you would be interested - Accrington High School only, not Moorhead High School - as long as you started when it was still AHS.

Also, my sister who was born in 1950, cut the cake along with the head girl for the 25th anniversary as she was the youngest girl in the school, would probably have been ten years old, in Sept 1960.

I was there 1957-1964, no bad memories, all good.

Ah I get it now - my little grey cells have taken a wander...

Must have been the 21st anniversary when my sis cut the cake - suppose it was the first big one they could celebrate. You started that year - do you remember the cake cutting? Jen was so small she had to stand on a chair to be the same height as the head girl and Miss Horne so they could all hold the knife for the photo.

Re: accrington High School 1960-1966

I remember the cake cutting very well! Yes, it was the 21st anniversary. Jennifer was one of the girls who started at 10 years old. Miss Horne came round the 1st year class rooms measuring to find the smallest girl. In 1H it was between me and Marie Chadwick - Marie was slightly smaller. Jennifer was in 1T. I have had three reunions for our year. Jennifer has been to one or two. The first time she came she brought the newspaper cuttings of her cutting the cake. She had also photocopied the long scroll photograph of the whole school from 1965. She pinned it up on the wall in the "Oaklea" function room. Jennifer and Mrs. Riley added most of the names.
