A 1


connection. Brookside County Prima­


ry School in Clitheroe has found that its very first pupil of 25 years ago has signed up her own daughter for its jubilee intake. Mrs Julie Pattison (nee


Swales), who was nine when the school opened in 1975, was the first to have her name entered on the Brook-


side register. She enjoyed her time


there so much that the school was the obvious choice for her daughter Libby's education. Libby is four and will be starting at Brookside in Sep­


tember. Mrs Pattison, a member


of the family-run Swales Cafe and wholesale confec­ tionery business, of Well- gate, said it was a wonderful c:oincidenc

their names on the register at an important time in the


school's history. She added: "I was very


happy at Brookside and hope Libby will be just as happy. We will, of course, be joining in some of the jubilee celebrations." Mrs Pattison, who is mar­


ried to Steven, went on to continue her education at Ribblesdale High School and qualified as a hairdress­ er before working in the fam­


ily business. Schooldays, they say, are


the happiest years of your life - and other Brookside families are happy to endorse this sentiment. Many parents, who also


attended the school 25 years ago, have placed their chil­ dren's names on the list for the jubilee intake - and they will be getting together dur­ ing the celebrations to recall

Him to share your everyday living, He can give you a new life for the old one that has brought you such unhappiness. He can make you a new creature if you will trust and obey Him. The alternative is to refuse to accept what He has pre­ pared for you, because you think you know better, when you do not. If you say that you believe in
