Two people who have disappeared are being sought by a man who is looking to reunite his old class at school.

Former Stoneleigh East Secondary School pupil Terry Cook is trying to locate his old friends Geoffrey Hogben and 'Skipper' Wheatland - the final two members of his old class he has not tracked down.

Mr Cook and his classmates have held reunions for people from the former Worcester Park School and the missing duo are the only ones who no-one has heard from.

He said: "They were great friends of mine but no-one knows of them now. It would be nice to have a reunion with them.

"They went to Stoneleigh East Secondary School and they will have left in 1960. Geoffrey Hogben lived in Stoneleigh Avenue and if Skipper wasn't Skipper Wheatland's real name, no-one knew what it was.

"If anyone has heard from them, it would be great to get in touch."

If you know of Mr Hogben or Mr Wheatland's whereabouts you can contact Mr Cook on 07806 975002 or email terlynn78@hotmail.com.

I went to Bec Grammar School at Tooting Bec from 1959 to 1965 now a housing estate. I found it a horrible inhuman place with few exceptions. I am trying to find photos of the demolition wrecking balls knocking it down so please post them if you find any. Thanks.

Personally I don't understand The mathematical configurations in the picture displayed above the article and I'm pretty sure that they wouldn't have covered that type of thing at Stoneleigh East which wasn't known for acedemic excellence; in fact I think that the school met its demise by refusing to run 'O' level classes. It didn't have the greatest reputation and since I personally went to a boarding school about a million miles away, I lost touch with most of the people I might have known there. For what it's worth I think that the school probably did a far better job than it was given credit for. It focused more on turning out good citizens and directed a lot of its pupils into trades/apprenticeshi
ps which would have been worth alot more than the bag of O and A levels that I ended up with!
