"I would like to contact any of my old school chums, most of whom I have not seen since I left in 1955. They are pictured in this class photograph taken around 1952. It would be good to hear how they have fared since leaving school. Most of them will be in their mid 60s so I thought I should try to contact them before it's too late!"
