Memories

“Photo sent by Peter Careless of
staff 1953-1956;chap in dark blazer (6) next to Mr Dames had
the name of Watson and I believe he was the PT master.
Mr Jaques was my form master. He met with an unfortunate
ending while I was there.I have many memories of that period
which I will share at some time.”

Anthony Priest writes...
“I am an Old Harlovian and was
a boarder from 1936 (age 7) until the outbreak of WW11. I
was then 11 years old.
School year photograph mislaid during the blitz when living
in Windsor, but
somehow my youthful image has survived in the attached
photograph: 2nd from
left, row two.
If my memory serves me right the Headmaster then Mr Dames.
Secetary a Miss
Jessie and Matron Miss Pearl. Head boy I `believe` was Barnes.
I remember the Fives wall and the Plugging room (a game played
with the feet
only) Just don`t ask me what I had for lunch yesterday!!!”

Pete Guthrie
Faces from the past
The above photo, believed taken in 1964 or '65,
was sent in by Pamela, Pete Guthrie's sister. Sadly, Pete
(rear row, 5th from right - tieless) was killed in a car accident
in 1977, but we reproduce this rare colour photo from Harlow
here, as many of you will remember him and the faces in the
photo above, if not the names. If
you can put names to the faces, click here.

Several of you have identified the faces in various photographs
previously published. The following have been duly updated,

view photos of the 2009 Reunion, please click this link.
AGM
As you may know, the reunion Dinner is really just
an excuse for the AGM (a legal requirement... the AGM, not
the dinner!). If you did not attend, you can now download

Bonham
Mark Bonham has written to us with a query about the Harlow
Cap Badge... anyone know the answer...?
“I have a picture of my father
Gordon Bonham (1918- 1998) and my uncle
Howard Whitehouse (c 1923-2003) in their school uniform, both
of whom I
think went to Harlow College. Unfortunately they are wearing
trench-
type coats so no blazer is visible. However, caps are worn
showing a
shield style badges. The younger boy wears a lighter cap with
a darker
front segment with the shield badge divided into four with
no further
detail visible. The older boy's cap is dark in colour with
a different
style badge, with littledetail visible. Was the school badge
shown on
your Home Page always the same or has it changed through history?
Did
the school ever have different badges for different House
Teams?
Can anyone throw any light on this minor mystery?
Thanks in anticipation,
Mark Bonham”

“Just discovered your web site,
and would love to make contact with any Old Boys who attended
Harlow College from '58-'64.
Have looked at the web site, and remember Chris McCready,
John Pryor & Hugh Jones, but would love to hear from anyone
from that time frame.
I currently reside in the U.S. (Arvada, Colorado), and have
been here since 1970. I am currently retired after a career
in accounting. Have taken a few trips back to England but
have not been back there in a while, but would certainly entertain
a visit for the next reunion.
I have some school pictures, but am traveling currently and
am not certain of the years. I have "year" pictures
and Nelson house pictures. When I return home, I will advise
you of which years I have.
Has anybody heard from Ronnie Franks, Tony Hardacre, or Ron
Burgess, or know where they are or what they are doing?
Looking forward to hearing from anybody.”
Paul A. Lane (Nelson House '58 to '64)
