South Wythenshawe High School
School Fund

Thanks to the anonymous wellwisher that sent me the pic below, to be honest i was never too impressed by the mural even though i realize the time and effort that went in to it. I would have preferred to have seen the area landscaped to make the place more appealing to learn and teach in.I remember coming up from the lower school and entering the playground and thinking 'god what a dump'.

A couple of reason why i added the song below, mainly it captures the feel and spirit of my time at school in the 70's, and of course it's  from a great movie, MIDNIGHT COWBOY.
