Miss Elsa Nel is Department Head: History and Tourism at the Hermanus High School. Her presentation was developed for the 75th anniversary celebrations of the school earlier this year.

As part of this celebration she asked past students to send her any photographs they had of past events at or involving the school. The image below was donated by John Nigrini and shows the High School band leading the Spring Festival during the middle to late 1960s

The image is of great interest to the History Society as it is the clearest visual we have seen of the famous Lemm’s Store at Lemm’s Corner.
