Two for the price of one! The first newspaper cutting shows some of the prefects of Loftus County Modern School with some of the trophies won that year. Geoffrey Spearpoint, Barry Matson, Brenda Miller, Linden Lambelle, Anne Kilvington, John Knaggs, Edwin Warrell, Neil Theaker?, ??, Gillian Preston, Della Burdett, Ivor Swain, Terry Blades, ??, Mavis Tyreman, Jean Johnson, Michael Mathews.
The second cutting shows some of the schools prize winners, too many to name but I am sure if you look hard you will find someone you know or maybe even yourself. Speech day and prize giving was often held in the Regal Cinema, Market Place, Loftus (sadly the Regal has long been demolished, to be replaced by shops and a group of houses which now occupy it’s space). Some of those present are: William Morrish, Eric Lancaster, Joan Money, Peter Dobson, and Tony Walker; perhaps you can add some?
