Ely High School 1905-1972
School Photo, June 8th, 1938

From a full school image kindly provided by Ely Museum via Christine Fuller (Bell) and used here with their permission. Previously thought to be the 1937 School Photo, a story in the July 1939 School magazine makes it clear it is the 1938 School Photo:

Having the School Photograph Taken.
On June 8th, 1938, the School photograph was taken.
The morning was rather dull and wet, but it turned out to be a lovely day, though the sun did not come out for long. We were all ready when Sammy, Miss Tilly's cat, came round the corner, and we thought it would be nice to have him on the photograph and one of the children in the Preparatory held him. Then someone asked if we could have Jock, Miss Colman's dog, as well, and he lay down in the front of the picture and it took a long time to get him look at the camera.
The photograph was a great success and came out well.
DULCIE CHAPMAN, Upper IIIa.
