From the Evening Press, first published Friday 22nd Oct 2004.
IT was interesting to see the letter from the head teacher of Haxby Road Primary School thanking people for attending the school's centenary celebrations (October 19).
I left Haxby Road in the 1960s, and have never been back. I was delighted to find out that they were to celebrate their 100th birthday, and contacted the school in the early spring asking if I could go along. I was promised that an invitation would be sent to me, but sadly this was not forthcoming.
I assumed the celebration had been cancelled, and it was not until I saw the report in the Evening Presss that I realised it had gone ahead. Perhaps more ex-pupils would have turned up if they had been informed it was taking place.
