Stansted School celebrates Centenary in 1974

In 1974 Stansted School celebrated it's centenary. Below are a few photos of the book created by the pupils of that time. I only had time to take a few photos of the book (which resides in the Fairseat and Stansted Historical Society's archives), I'd love to go back and photograph it in its entirety.

This is written on the opening pages:
This year our school is one hundred years old. It is our Centenary year. In January the senior class decided to try to find out more about our school and its pupils, and about our village and its people during the past one hurdled years. This book is the record of what we found out.

One of our most exciting finds was the first Log Book which is kept in the County Archives. We were able to borrow it and we enjoyed reading the entries. We have copied out some and provided our own illustrations.
