The following Old Boy has found the site since the last update.

Keith Arthey

Member's Entries Updates

Peter Madsen has dug out some great snaps of he and his friends, taken at Harlow College circa 1956. To check out if you are in them, or if you are just the curious type, click here. Peter has also unearthed some photos of the school, including the table tennis hut (see 'New Pics', below)

Only one old boy has sent us his personal profile this update... Keith Arthey who was at Harlow College for quite a long sentence: 1957 to 1963. Keith has also left his e-mail address, so if you knew him... get in touch. To read his profile, please click here.

As for the rest of you... come on you lot, get your profiles up on the site. Just type them out and send them as a word doc attached to an e-mail, to
the webmaster, who'll do the rest.

Also, let us have your e-mail address. Remember, if you do not want to use your real e-mail address, we can set you up with an Old Harlovians one (yourname@oldharlovians.co.uk) that automatically forwards e-mails to your real address. There is, of course, no charge for this, so please only ask to use this facility if you want to be super cautious.

New archive photographs

Hugh Jones sends us some Beatty House photos (at last!) and has made a valiant effort of putting names to faces. If you were in Beatty House in 1957 or 1963, please click on the links and let the webmaster know if you recognise anyone not captioned.

Peter Madsen has let us have some photos taken around the school. They are the first ones we have, that give a clear view of some of the outbuilding class rooms etc. To view these, go straight to the first one, click here.

Incidentally, in this photo, you can just see the basement window, which, in the 1960's, was always unlocked. Many times I crept back into school from a night sojurn out of bounds this way. Forgotten all about it, until this photo jogged my memory. webmaster

Anyone else do the same? Let us know. See Memory Lane below.

Reunion 2003

Four new old boys... over 40 people in attendence... the police/fire brigade/ambulance service were not called and the caterers turned up. All in all, a successful evening. For a very personal viewpoint of how the evening went, click here.

What do you know?

1. Richard Baldry has asked me to point out that, contrary to what was said in the last update, he actually came 3rd in Class 2b Autumn Term 1961, So there!

2. Ralph Smith writes from across the big pond, with some anecdotes attached to the school year photo of 1940 he sent in for the last update. This also includes info on an old boy (Cox-second row - Number: 38) who apparently entered a life of crime after leaving Harlow and ended up in Dartmoor! Ralph also writes about memories of Harlow and War... his fascinating e-mail is reproduced here in full, so if you want a good read:
click here. Memory Lane - see below

What do you know? What do you want us to know? What can you remember?

3. Memory Lane.
Ralph's trip down memory lane has prompted the thought that, when all is said and done, it is only memories that binds us all together. More than that, it is memories shared. Ralph's few lines about watching aircraft returning from raids on German targets in France in 1940, really only means anything to any of us, because we can close our eyes, imagine ourselves standing on the playing field, or in front of the school and looking up... we are there...

So, this month a new feature has been added to the site, so that you can share your memories with the rest of us. Alas, you cannot post automatically... you have to send an e-mail to the webmaster. Please check out the new memories index, so you can see the format the section takes.

Want to share a memory?

Tell the webmaster who'll tell everyone else!
