probably be the last chance for former stu- dents and teachers of Accrington Sec­ ondary Technical High School to meet again, said Mr Fred Holden, one of the past pupils helping to organise the event. Mr Holden, of Queen's Road West,


Accrington, said: "It was a very happy, effi­ cient school, and turned out many students who have left their mark in life.”


He said students arrivedevery day by


bus from places like Clitheroe and Whalley. He has unearthed an ancient photo­


graph of teacher Mr Pullan and pupils in 1950 and even been able to identify each


boy.


The reunion is will be at Enfield Cricket Club, Accrington, on August 17th.
