THANKS to Catherine Clarke of Preston, Weymouth, for getting in touch with these pages.

She has shared a photo of Westhaven Junior School in Weymouth which was taken in 1959 and was wondering if anyone could help her get in touch with an old school friend.

Mrs Clarke has done extremely well in being able to name nearly all the children in the photo.

She very kindly sent us in some memories of her school days.

"Although we are now at pensionable age, how different life was.

"No mobile phones, no computers or laptops. All the girls would play skipping, hopscotch or chase.

"Girls played in the front playground and boys played in the back playground, usually kicking a ball around.

"The boys had a very successful football team and the girls had a very good netball team.

"Both teams played against other schools for trophies or cups."

Mrs Clarke says she still keeps in touch with many of her old school friends but is hoping Looking Back readers can help her to get in touch with an old friend Jennifer (Jenny) Board.

She said: "The last time I met her she was living in Dorchester. I hope she sees my plea and is able to get back in touch.
