Thornhill Pioneers
The following are the names of some of the pupils who attended Thornhill on the old site at the Air Force base (1955 - 1957). This is not taken from any official list, so there are bound to be errors and omissions, given that they come from the collective memory of a group of people who were at the school over 50 years ago.
