Truro School 1965

Many will remember headmaster Derek Burrell (the man in the photo who doesnt have a boy sitting in front of him)...

In the third row down from the top are two smaller boys with fringes standing wedged together. The slighter of the two is Roger Taylor, the other is his best friend Dave Dowding. Dave is next to the boy with the glasses. If you follow the row along Mike Dudley, the third member of Beat Unlimited, is the tall lad with the massive quiff second from the left.

As far as I know this is the first time a school photo of Roger Taylor has been published. Remember: you saw it here first!

Thanks to Jo, the Truro School archivist who has this and a photo of Mike Dudley of The Reaction with the other prefects. Amazingly she also has copies of the school magazine going back to the 1800s.
