IT is almost 50 years since 32 apprehensive, but inquisitive boys arrived for their first day at Hartlebury Grammar School.

I am trying to make contact with as many of those anxious first formers as possible for a reunion in April.

Some I have tracked down through the school's flourishing Old Elizabethans organisation, but I still need to trace the majority.

We are all over 60 now, but the memories are still very fresh.

If you were one of those boys and would like to share in a reunion in the old school hall, please write to me, or e-mail martinhenf@aol.com

There will be lots to talk about.
