De La Salle College - 1968 to 1973
I managed to recover some pages from the old, now defunct, Freeserve website (www.de-lasalle.freeserve.co.uk) Click here!

Many thanks to Gerard Nowak and Chris O'Dowd for lending me the photographs to scan. I had lost all hope of ever seeing a school photo, for some reason we didn't buy one at the time. I had even forgotten that there had been two! If you have any other photos available email me at mick.daniels@kpmd.co.uk.

You can spot me easily on the 1972 edition; I'm the school-uniform rebel with attitude on the right-hand end (photo f). Talk about attitude - I can see where my daughters get it from!

As I'm sure you'll remember, the photos are the long panorama types, so I've divided them up into sections starting with A on the left across to E or F on the right. I've tried to overlap the sections so some people may appear twice. I've added 1966 (what a great year!), which is before I started at DLS but I know a lot of people are interested. I can add other years if anyone wants to send me the images as jpg, gif files or what-ever.
