Roosevelt High School – Class of 1955: Seeking Information
Hello Roosevelt family
We are reaching out to the wider Roosevelt High School community and Alumni network to seek any information or assistance regarding the whereabouts of members of the first matriculation class of 1955.
This historic class, with just 16 students, holds a special place in our school’s history as the pioneers of Roosevelt’s matric journey. While some of their names and stories are known, there are several classmates whose current status or contact details remain unknown.
If you are, or know, any of the following alumni, or have information about them, please get in touch:
Aletta Immink (Head Girl)
Heather Snaddon
Marlene de Bruyn
Moira John
John Dickson
Robin van Zyl
Additionally, if you have memories or photos of the Class of 1955, we would love to hear from you.
It would be wonderful to acknowledge this remarkable group as they celebrate their 70th reunion, even if a formal gathering is not possible.
Please share this post widely within the Roosevelt community, especially with anyone who matriculated between 1956 and 1960 — they may have connections or information.
Thank you for helping us honour the legacy of Roosevelt’s very first matric class.
Please send any information to lholl@roosevelthighschool.co.za
