A moment in time captured on film more than half a century ago was brought to Dubbo Photo News last week by local reader Charles Campbell, whose late father Jock Campbell was an educator and former principal of Dubbo High School.

Unsure of the exact origins of the photo, Mr Campbell thought Dubbo Photo News readers may be interested in the snapshot of Form 1C taken in 1972. The photo includes individual images of the 31 teenage classmates - 19 young men and 12 young women - and an image of the high school itself.

If you recognise anyone in the 1972 photo who might still be in the area, ask them to get in touch with Dubbo Photo News. We'd love to have a chat with them about what navigating high school in Dubbo was like 53 years ago was like. We're sure there are many stories to tell!
