Hiya guys. I'm guessing the reason you've come to this page is because you're either an ex- WHSer from the class of 95-97, or you know someone who is. (The other alternative is that you've stumbled upon it totally randomly in which case you probably want to go somewhere else). Anyway. Here you'll find a whole bunch of embarassing photos, largely from the leaving bash at Dunston Hall, but also a couple of others. They're split broadly into categories, to aid navigation. I've retouched some of the photos to make them a bit clearer, eliminate redeye, and so forth, although not all of them have been done yet. Anyway, you can still see the people in them, which is the principle reason they're here. Any extra information is credited to the appropriate person who supplied it, click on the link in the square brackets to find out who that was. Anyway. Go and laugh at them. Now.

I've copied most of the photos into my gallery, so you can find them there too. Also, if you're here looking for pictures of Jordan, I feel I should probably point out that her name is Katie Price, and not Katie Brice, who is someone I went to school with and not a vacuous page 3 model (unless she's changed an awful lot since high school).

Photos from the VI Form Mock Election are now online.

Okay, having just been home to visit family and stuff and popped into school, can indeed confirm that the common rooms have been repainted again. The main common room downstairs is now a horribly purpley blue affair, and the green room is still green, but a darker green. There are pictures of semi-naked women all over the walls and an N64 in the green room.
Oh, and WHS now has net access, so they know about this page :)

• The Lower VI
• Tables - pictures of people at tables, at Dunston. It's more interesting than it sounds, no really.
• Dancefloor - people dancing. Often comically.
• Posed photos - people posing for the camera. Fools.
• Other stuff - anything else.

Okay, I know a lot of our year never really socialised with the lower VI, but I did, so here's some photos of them anyway. There's also the common room as it should be remembered in the background (it has now, I believe, been painted in hideous shades of blue and is very cold and depressing.)

• Cathryn Hall [cmh - spelling, 14nov99] & Chris Rose
• Cathryn Hall - from behind. She didn't want me to take her photo. I did anyway. I don't know who is more foolish, me for taking this photo and scanning it, or Cathryn for letting me get away with it.
• Esther [Mitson/Philpott] - She's married now, you know. (This photos a bit dark, I've tried enhancing it and can't do anything without it going all blotchy. Sorry.)
• Esther, Julia Rose and Cathryn Hall

I've attempted to label people on the tables as best I can, but please forgive me if I've left anyone out. It's not because I don't like you, it's probably because you never spoke to me at VI form or something.

• Table 1 - Mr Phoenix, Miss Elmer (hiding), Mrs Phoenix (I presume), Katie Brice, Vicky Cooper[smt - 3Nov99], Someone, Eve P [hiding], Helen Lynch, Louise Chadbon.
• Table 2 - Sally Taylor, Jon Moule, Amy Bowman, Claire 'Moose' Gibbon, Gav Robbie, Stew A, Dave Williams.
• Table 3 - Tim Marshall, Dave Walker + wife, Chris Burt, Emma Coombes, Miss Bell, Dr Cooper.
• Table 4 - Mr McArdle + wife, Richard Bland, Sally-ann Spinks, Paul [hl - 2Nov99]
• Table 5 - Er, okay... Some bloke, Sam Spencer, Anne Jones, Amy Walpole, Lucy [?], Some bloke, Mrs + Mr Phoenix.
• Table 6 - Wal Brown, Rob Gillespie, John Chandler, Zanna Gilbert [smt - 3Nov99], Victoria Nelson.
• Table 7 - Elly Clarke, Claire [?], Sarah Phoenix (my one true love... Or not, as the case may be :), Becky Ramsey, Caroline Pinchen, Mr Money hiding behind John Ladds head [jl - 16Nov99].

A whole bunch of people strutting their funky stuff. Oh yes.

• A slow song - evidently. Richard Patey + unidentifiable partner, Mat Cummins [I think] + partner [presumably], Random Bloke + Liz Morgan [I think?]
• Amy Bowman & Stewart Ainsworth
• Another slow song - evidently. Various couples.
• Dr Burke & His wife show off their amazing dance skills.
• Dr Burke, disco demon, doing his thing.

A set of awkwardly posed photos that all the subjects will come to regret for years to come. Especially the one of me with thosecurtains. *shudder*. The biggest section, so take a deep breath...

• Amy Bowman - evidently blinded by the flash.
• Anne-lise Jones and Amy Walpole
• Cat Simpson with Katie Snapes bloke
• Cat Simpson and Katie Snape with respective blokes tagging along.
• Cathy Merrick, Katy Brice and Ros. Do I look funny or something? Why are they all laughing? Oh yes, that would be because I looked like this back then.
• Chris Burt + Emma Coombes - still together, apparently.
• Doug, Tom Kemp, Tim Marshall and Stu Harrison - Insert suitable "Why do I have to be Mr Pink?" comment here.
• Gav Robbie and Claire 'Moose' Gibbon - with Stewart A in the background.
• Haydn, evidently a bit worse for the alcohol.
• Jon Moule
• Mr Wadlow, Dr Cooke and Dave Williams - how big was it again, Pete?
• Richard Patey and Haydn - cheers to you too. Mr Normal.
• Sally Taylor & Cathy Merrick.
• Stewart Ainsworth & Gav Robbie
• Stu Harrison & Marco Somethingitaliansounding. Yeah, that.
• Me with that haircut. Fortunately, most people I show this photo to can't believe it's me.

Stuff that wouldn't fit elsewhere

• A shot of the main hall
• Another shot of the hall

I apologise if anyone really hideously objects to anything I've put or said on this page. If you really have a problem with it, then email me and I'll remove it, but it's all meant to be in good humour (heck, I even put that photo of me with bad hair up, which I normally keep well hidden). All the photos are technically © Chris Whitworth 1997/9 but I'm not particularly bothered about what you do with them so long as you don't, like, sell them or use them in bizarre satanic rituals (not thinking of anyone in particular, John) or anything. Or use them to bribe/embarass me in later life.

Keep smiling. Chris, 1st November 1999, whilst waiting for the 11 o'clock show to come on.
