OF CARS AND SNOW ETC

 Snow trips were GREAT fun. Many who went on these had never seen snow before.
Here Di Edwards enjoys being a model..... well, the photographer enjoyed it anyway.

 We did think we were pretty flash in those days. I wonder how many could fit into a small Renault to go to dems? Hughes, Porter, Kember.... who else is there?

 XXXXXX, Keith Jenkins, Cookie Masters and Bruce Lucas.

 Makes me laugh just looking at this photo.

 Di Edwards, Lorraine Collins, Fay Bailey, Jan Ferguson & Dale Read.

All Kambu girls from 1963-64.

 Crosweller and Keast

 Keast, Edwards, Ziedler and Lawrence

Yes, none other than Andy Baltaks.

PLAYERS IN THE 60s

 Laraine "Cookie" Masters.... married Bruce Lucas. 

 A famous baseballer in early 60s!!

 Who could forget Jacko from PE?

 ...or Maree O'Donnell (music).

Merv Smith elected to sit at the back! 

BACK IN SIXTY-FOUR

 Unbelievable! FIFTY years ago! Can you recognise any from here? I can see Hughes and Powell in front. Maybe also D Mill, Ludwig, Nev Poll, De Lisle and myself. Can you identify others?

 Looks like Smartie, Mick Carney and Dino with appropriate ladies - Jan Ferg, Millsie and Fay Bails.

 Who said he never did any study? Just to prove you wrong.

 Rob H was heavily into the music scene even at this stage.

 Maybe the Sports Union? Front row includes: Wright, Fergie, Bails, Smartie, Pinky, Smithy & Bruce Lucas. Of course you know most of the others I guess.

 Russ Warfie was always proud of his achievements.

 And yes, the illustrious baseball team of 1964. Wonder how many matches we won? Can you name any of the "un-named" five? I think I played 2nd base. Crosweller lives in Wagga and Paton probably in Inverell.

LATE SIXTIES

 The late sixties was a special time for us college folk. Some went overseas, some married, some studied (yuck). Unreal that today there are still so many ex WWTC folk who are still connected with others from that establishment!

 The Smarts and the Keasts went to Canada. They skied and fished and toured together. (I didn't do much fishing I guess.)

Think this photo was taken on 23 December 1967, one week before Fay and I got hitched. Do you recognise these Kambu cuties? Hope somebody sees this or maybe I should just shut it down.

Maiden names of the above - Barr, Bailey, Ferguson, Edwards and Read.
