Photos from 1967–1968

Geoff Lawrence (1961–1968) has contributed a photo from the school trip to Realp in Switzerland.

School trip to Realp, Switzerland

The trip was led by Melvin Pamplin and Pete Chambers together with their partners. Geoff notes that the trip was memorable for three particular incidents:

• Gifts were provided to the 'loving couples' by their Upper Sixth pupils. Geoff suggests Doris Staples would have had a fit if she had known.
• Geoff, the only teetotallar on the trip, bought a round of drinks which were then confiscated. The staff did not, however, object to consuming them theirselves.
• A waitress had a bath in hot soup at the dinner table.

Geoff says his mind drew a blank trying to remember the names of the other two pupils in the photo, though it rather seems he has actually named eight out of eleven present. If anyone can oblige with the missing names that would be great.
