Michael Bharier writes: This is labelled Purim 1950. At the front (L to R) I see Estelle Levy, Leon Vyner, Wendy Fleischmann, Ruth Saville, Marian Anderson (my cousin from South Shields). Next row back I see David Baum, Fay Rurka, me, Tania Solomon, Sylvia Anderson (my cousin), Pamela Cohen. Behind them I see Sylvia Cohen, Dolly Sive (with Elaine?), Jack Lamb (Sylvia Cohen's brother), several faces I don't recognize, Mrs. Collins, Iris Craster, Eve Bharier holding my sister Rose, Gillian Hush. Standing in the back I see your [Donald's] grandfather (I think) and Sam Doberman.
This picture was taken at one of my birthday parties (6th? maybe). In the back I see Unknown female, Harry (now Sir Harry) Solomon, Michael Saville, Geoffrey (now) Selwyn, Stewart Crass (son of our teacher from Linthorpe School). Next row: David Saville, Bernard Vyner, Gwendoline Lamb, "Kathleen" (granddaughter of a woman who cleaned for us), Tania Solomon, Sylvia Schalk, Ruth Saville, Rochelle S. and two I don't recognize. In front of them I see Leon Vyner and one I don't recognize then I'm kneeling with my neighbour David Leitch seated on my left (right in the picture).

Left to right (from memory!):
John Forbes (Schubert), Gordon Hetherington (Mozart), Michael Elliott (Beethoven), Catherine Walker (Handel), David Saville (Bach), Albert Smith (Haydn), David Evans (Brahms), Margaret Rawlins (Tchaikowsky), Jean Hebden (Mendelsohn)
The performance was in June 1953 at Linthorpe Junior Mixed School, Roman Road, Middlesbrough. Headmaster: "Pop" Starling. Class teacher: Miss Chambers - 4th Form. Performance manager: Mrs Pollock.
The Evening Gazette came especially to photograph the group. I even remember my first lines: "Good evening, where is the organ?" "Sorry, sir, there is no organ." "But I came to play the Peasants' Cantata, that's why I came, isn't it?"
Since the days of Marton Road School in the 1920s, Linthorpe School had the largest concentration of Jewish children.
