SEEING the class photo from Canon Lee school brought back mixed emotions (Letters, May 6).

I was at Canon Lee from 1971 to 1976. To see Mr Cooper with hair was new; he was my form teacher. He always made science fun, he would spend hours taking photos of us all during our breaks, then would have slide shows for us to see ourselves larking about.

He once had a small tape recorder left on his desk. He slipped out of the class for a moment, we of course ran riot. He then came back in and played the tape back to us.

Those were the days.
