PROFESSOR HARRY RIGBY AND NORMA ROBERTSON
![]() Norma Robertson and Harry Rigby were students at CHS in the 1937 stream.
Both feature in our Notable Former Students section. These snapshots have been extracted from the only class photo we have of this group, taken in 1940. Julian Tooey [1944 stream] suggests we rename CHS as the 'Love School'
These were the marriages he recalls from the 1944 and'45 streams.
[ details provided in Juns 2019] Julian Toohey married Meryl Eddy Ian Jones married Marje Withall Ken Beckett married Jocelyn Piggott Graham Gilchrist married Beverley Worsnop And he thinks Colin Moseley married Mavis Cron. But he's not sure, so if anyone knows, please tell us before we get into trouble for false reporting. |

Two young kids growing up in Coburg land
Rick he's gonna be an Engineer
Dianne reckons Medicine would be a good career
Oh yeah, life goes on
Long after the days of high school have gone.
