Vivien Wakefield (Gardner) YHS 1953 Wrote - was rapt to receive my first newsletter and couldn't believe all the names for my year, and to even read a bit by Margaret Jenkins (Huther) - I remember her clearly. My dad used to send for our grocery order from Hinkley's store. I used to catch the bus (Cattle Wagon it was called) at La Mode Factory in Morwell. in 1956 (my last year) I was determined that I wanted the front seat at the top, so got to the bus stop at 7.30 so I was first in line. Whatever seat you got was established for the whole year! I have a terrific photo of a few of us hanging out of the front window after a successful sports day - Judith Leech, Pat Blackford, Janice Bond, and myself. My first friend at YHS was Janet Morris, later Pam Cuftis. Pam and I visit each other often. She lives in Rosebud, I live in Qld. I was one of the YHS Marching Team, we came third at the Warragul Sports day in October 1956. I have a yellowed newspaper photo of this day. I remember "training" on the sports oval, and our teacher was none other than Wally Cass (an Ex Army Major?) I still remember the beat of the drums. Whilst we were practising, Mr. Bartle was tutoring a group for the Stage Production of Gilbert and Sullivans "Pirates of Penzance", so the music from this was blended in with the drum beat. G&S was a great show and I still love G&S music. The Queen and Duke visited Yallourn in 1954. I was in the Camera Club, so took a very blurry photo of the car passing by (how was I to know you were supposed to move the camera along with the car to get it clear (ironically I became a School Photographer in 1978 through to 2001!)l also have a photo of a big arch that was built in the main street of Yallourn for the Royal Car to drive through. I could keep writing but will save it for down the track a bit. Keep up the good work Julie and Gang.
