Ndola Class Photo – 1964

From Great North Road

Ndola Primary

Ndola Primary 1964.

I wish to attach the class photo of 1964, Ndola Primary School, Standard 5, with Mrs. Potts our teacher. I wonder if she is still alive? Unfortunately I was missing from this photo as we had headed back to SA in the June of that year. My best friend Greg Sheen, (extreme right middle row) at the time, sent me this photo of the class at the end of that year! I obviously still have it. What a great place it was to grow up, what fun we had?

The photo was taken of Standard 5A in 1964, metres away from the school flagpole where Mike Elkaim (in the photo) was to lower the old Federal flag and raise the new Zambian one literally days after this shot.
