I (Andrew "Bill" Bailey) have kept in touch with quite a few OB's who left school in 1964 and, with the approach of the 50th anniversary of our release into an unsuspecting world, have lately made a concerted effort to round up as many of my former colleagues.
It has been an interesting exercise, a world wide search, with "old boys" being found in Grand Cayman, Greece, a mining town in the heart of Australia, Malawi, even as far as Norfolk and Devon. Some of the most elusive seem to have been those who have remained in North East Kent!
Inevitably someone (Roger Lerpiniere) suggested we should have a reunion. It will be an informal gathering, probably a buffet, and we have venue booked (the place I knew as Bowater's Club) in Sittingbourne for Friday 6th June 2014. So the search for former classmates has been redoubled. We have also arranged for a tour of the school after hours on that day.
The core group we are looking for were nominally from the 1957 to 1964 cohort but we have widened the scope to include others whose time at Borden or Highsted Girls Grammar overlapped with that period. Anybody with curious to find out "what happened to...." .
The photos show some of those who made it to the 6th Science and Arts groups and might jolt a few memories.
