From the teachers list the last teacher can't be Mr. Vann, he left a year earlier. , E. J. Holt is not however included - the last teacher?
I would also welcome information on position of the other teachers who were at the school with us eg. Dick Bentley, Charlie Chesters - they joined the school whilst we were there, so they ought to be included above.
