CONTACT COLUMN: Wisewood pupils, Motley, nurses, Brooks and Sparkes
ANN Rushby is organising a reunion for former pupils who joined Wisewood High School, Rural Lane, Sheffield between 1967 and 1972.
The reunion will be on July 10 at the school and then at the Wadsley Jack Pub.
She says: "I have a few contacts but need to somehow get in touch with more. I have contacted the school, put a notice on Friends Reunited and searched on Facebook.
"I would also like to get hold of school photos (of the school and pupils if possible) and would also like to obtain the school register and log book from that period."
