1955: Secondary Department Composite Panorama

This picture, taken on 10th May 1955, shows the entire pupil and staff complement of the Secondary Department of the school. It was made by 'stitching' together a series of conventional photographs. This electronic version was made in much the same way, requiring the original very long print to be scanned in six parts. A few faces are blurred; this blurring is present in the original, which would have been put together without the aid of computer image stitching.
