My broadband has been down for a couplew of weeks, so I have not looked at Accyweb. I've missed this great thread./
The first photo was taken end of term 1949 - Big Jim Hanrahan's class with Lister St ijhn the background. This was the last year before the new uniform was introduced. I think that a letter 'A' can be detected on one lad's jacket.
The other photo, with Gordon Booth top left is 1959. Colin Sellers (RIP) is back top right. Peter Butler is centreish. I cannot trace him but think he may live in Bury area.
At the Old Boys events now, the president wears a prefect's cap from this period, and last year's president wears a cap as worn then by everyone else. I cannot help with the 1967 photo. Not wearing a cap brought a detention.
