When photojournalist Bruce Postle went on assignment for The Age’s Melbourne Cup issue in 1977, he told the editor he’d already secured the perfect front-page shot.

I went to Birrong Boys High in the 70's - the woodwork teacher there would sharpen his chisels in front on the class and drag out any kid playing up and get them to sit there while he shaved the back of their neck with the chisel, still get cold shivers about that

That is disgusting and would be classified as assault these days

Young love.
Works for some.

53 years ago, Ron Howard went on his first date with fellow John Burroughs High School classmate Cheryl Alley.
They went to see the rerelease of the 1963 classic It’s A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World in Toluca Lake.
Still going strong. 4 kids and 6 grandkids.
Congrats Ron and Cheryl.
