Unlike some schools elsewhere in Portsmouth, no reports of end of school year celebrations or staff changes were published in the paper.
As it covers July-August 1977, I should have published this part at the end.
The way that the British Library bound the newspapers, as each volume contains six weeks' issues, I decided to tackle the July-September 1977 volumes first:
1 July-14 August, and, 15 August-30 September 1977.
The 15 August-30 September bound volume was quickly returned to storage, because I only needed to examine the 15-31 August issues.
I can only have five bound volumes out under my name at any one time, so dealing with mid-late August issues first meant that I was in a better position when requesting further bound volumes within my personal limit.
Two newspaper reports about Donna Hillyer's athletics performances:
The News, Wednesday 20 July 1977.
Donna (D. Hillyer) won the 1500m in a personal best of 4:57.4 for her club, Portsmouth Atalanta, in the Division 1, B Section juniors competition, held at Southampton.
The News, Tuesday 9 August 1977.
Donna (D. Hillyer) won the 1500m in 5:08.4 in the A string for Portsmouth Atalanta in the Haslett Trophy competition at Crawley.
