<p>A letter I received from Miss Lickes after I had left school. It describes the rush every day to send the exam scripts off to the WJEC (Welsh Exam Board). She also has news of the new classrooms built in 1965-6 and wishes me the best for my new course in university. (This project has found that she had an extensive correspondence with ex pupils of the school).
