Former Narrogin Agricultural Senior High School students from class of 1967 on the lookout for classmates

A group of Narrogin classmates from 1967 are on the hunt for their cohort comrades following the senior school’s 70th celebration last month.

Nine 1967 graduates from Narrogin Agricultural Senior High School — now known as Narrogin Senior High School — reunited at the school grounds on November 28 for the facility’s 70-year milestone event.

They were among 160 other students and teachers who attended the school from 1955 to 2025 to commemorate the anniversary.

After reconnecting with old friends at the event, high school sweethearts John Cresswell — who served as 1967 head boy — and his wife Christine started a WhatsApp group with classmates who attended between 1963 and 1967 in the hopes of rekindling old relationships and staying in touch.

Graduate from 1967 Jan Starling-Borgas said since starting the group, they are now on the lookout for others before their year group’s upcoming 60th anniversary.

“It was wonderful to see my classmates again and we all agreed there was not enough time to fully enjoy our time together, find out what we’ve been doing all these years and to reminisce,” she said.

“The year 2027 will be our 60th anniversary so we have just over a year to find some more of our tribe.”

She said they’d need five lifetimes to talk about everything that has happened since graduation.

“In those days, once we left school there was no social media platforms to keep contact, so most of us just lost contact with each other unless you stayed in town or went to the same university,” she said.

“It was a completely different era — we had some great fun talking about it and reminiscing.

“We have done so many things in all the years we haven’t seen each other, and there will be some really interesting stories out there and I think we’d all like to hear more of what we’ve done.”

Ms Starling-Borgas said students did not have to finish in 1967 to join the group and agricultural students are included.

To reconnect, former students can look up NASHS1967 on WhatsApp and request to join the group.
