__Other Thoughts__ //Shouldn't Phil Hinchcliffe be here somewhere? Likewise Brian Hill, (Barry/Terry?) Dowling,// //(Barry?) Gatehouse, Terry Young (Row 1:6?), (Brian?)

//Source:// //"From this point I have somewhat painstakingly divided boys up into discrete groupings.// //The position of the first two groups is related to the teachers' row, while the third// //group is related to boys in the front row, since I can identify all these. The following// //abbreviations have been used: f - front, m - middle, b - back, with "back" meaning// //immediately in front of the teachers. Where there are more than 3 in a line, I have// //been more specific. For all three groups I have worked initially from left to right,// //then sub-divided by line, usually working from a teacher forwards (first two groups)// //or from a pupil backwards (last group). I have not included most of the identifications// //from the existing list, as I'm confused as to exactly whom they designate.//
