Friern Barnet Photo Archive

I am in the above picture, as is my friend Hilary Parnell ( nee Perkins). I would be interested to hear from any others who recognise themselves!

I am directly behind Mr Povah and Mr McNelly, Beside me to the right is Barry Dannenberg then Richard Beale. I am Robert Shade. I recognize several others. The photo is only a third of the actual width. I remember Mr Povah checking the composition of his school from the photographer's position. In his haste to get to his seat his gown which had become entangled with one of the camera tripod legs very nearly upended the panoramic scan camera and caused a partial sensation. Pure pantomime! I have an original copy here in New Zealand although the rats got to it one time and several of the teachers met an untimely demise.

I think I must have been in the original somewhere. I'm afraid my copy is now lost. I remember Roger Ellen very well.

Having had another look I think I recognise Richard Wrigley, 4th from the left in the back row. His sister married my brother which doesn't make him my brother-in-law!

I would love to see the original.
I was in Year 5 in 1962, but cannot see me in the picture.
ROBERT SHADE if you have a copy of the original could you please send it to me.
Thank you
