A few years ago, a fire at Wetherby High wiped out the school's collection of form photographs and a national treasure duly perished in the flames. The tragedy was lessened to a certain extent by the actions of one man - Mr Jim Frusher.
Wearing his underpants outside his trousers in the style of a superhero, with two plastic buckets strapped to his feet and clutching a damp copy of "Physics Today", Mr F. leapt back into the inferno and managed to rescue the complete set of pictures from two years - 1974-75 and 1976-77.
The names are generally reproduced verbatim from the school's register but mistakes could and did occur. Some amendments have already been made - if you spot something that's wrong, and you know how to put it right, let me know.
It would now appear that the Archive represents our only opportunity of re-assembling these historic artefacts…
so if you have an old picture that isn't on the site, please send it in!
