The Headmaster Major Jenkinson presents the Sports Day Prizes
This image is from the 1930's I think - Major Jenkinson at Sports Day. Alderman Absalom Flavell, seated centre, was Chairman of Governors 1927-52. He retired in 1952 after 30 years as a governor of the school.

Greetings Dave and Sheila,
I haven't looked at the school website for a year or two and I am very impressed by the new format. I can fill in a few more names to form photos:
1948-49 5A: Middle row - Roy Duckitt is between Colin Beckett and myself (Neville Flavell) at the right hand end. Roy was a very talented artist.
1944-45 1st form: I am pretty sure is 1D with 1st row 1st left Arthur Doughty and 3rd left Roy Butterfield; 2nd row 1st left Kathleen Kidd and 3rd row 2nd left Kathleen King (all in my Junior class at South Kirkby). Fred Hanley is 1st left on the 4th row. The prefect 2nd row 5th from left is Brenda Swinbank, the daughter of the South Kirkby headmaster. The form teacher must have been absent! Other faces are familiar, but names are not forthcoming at the moment. My year cohort are now like myself 80 or in their 80th year, so memory is not likely to get better!
On another tack - I have some photos of my mother in school uniform in the 1920s and other 20s memorabilia - report book and school magazines etc - which I will try to gather together to scan in the not too distant future if these are suitable for the collection.
Best wishes,
Neville Flavell (Price 1944-51)
PS: My mother started her school life in Talbot House, but was transferred to Price when the new House was added. She once told me that it was not a move she appreciated. Apparently, a change of loyalty was far from smooth!
