Every May, St Mary's Hall holds a reunion at the school for past pupils and staff.

While all reunions are open to all year groups, each year one or two classes decide to have a special reunion.

May 2003 will be a special reunion for those who took

O-levels in 1959. While we have located more than 20 from that year, there are still a number we have been unable to trace.

As most of these came from the Brighton area, we hope The Argus readers will be able to help us find them.

Jennifer Allen, Linda Cannon, Jane Clarke, Susan Collard, Penny Fanshawe, Davinia Ritchie and Caroline Wise are all last heard of in the Brighton area.

Anne FitzPatrick, Rosalind Green, Carol Hayes, Priscilla Mair, Celia Malins, Jenny Roberts and Liz Thouard were boarders from other parts of the country but may still have links in the Brighton area.

Joanna Mardling lived in Newhaven, spending most of her spare time on board her parents' boat, My Clynder, which was moored in Newhaven harbour.

Many of these women (who are now nudging 60) will have married and taken on other names but I'm hoping they, or their friends, will recognise the names and make contact.
