I spent many of my teenage years at Northcliff High School in Johannesburg,
and made some fine friends there.
The old boys and girls (OK, the "Alumni Association") of the school
recently published a magazine to commemorate the school's history from 1969 to
2001. Below are three pages which I provide here purely because I've
managed to re-establish contact with a few old school friends, and some of them
might like the dash of nostalgia I enjoyed when I read these pages. My
special thanks to Matt Brenzel for actually sending me a copy of the magazine.
Click on the thumbnails to see the full size images, but you may want to open
each one in an image editor in order to magnify it enough to read the text.
Be warned - these are quite large images. I scanned and uploaded them
quickly tonight (28 June 2002), and have not yet experimented with optimising
them for size - I wanted to be sure they could be read easily. If you're
constrained by low bandwidth, try again in a week or two when I may have had the
chance to optimise.
