EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the year 1934 in Littlehampton, Sussex. Two remarkable 13-year-old schoolchildren, Joan Vera Strong and Eric George Laker, were given the honor of opening the council offices and council chamber of the Urban District Council at the Manor House. The event was filled with excitement as they took their place on the dias after delivering heartfelt speeches. The chairman of the council, Colonel CCR Murphy, expressed his admiration for these young individuals who displayed such confidence and maturity beyond their years. Following his address, it was time for Joan and Eric to share their thoughts with those gathered. Their words resonated deeply with everyone present. Captured in this snapshot is a moment frozen in time - two bright smiles shining amidst an atmosphere of pride and accomplishment. Standing alongside them is Mrs T Griffin, undoubtedly beaming with joy as she witnesses these children making history. This photograph not only encapsulates a significant official opening but also represents hope for a brighter future where young voices are valued and acknowledged. It serves as a reminder that age should never limit one's potential or ability to make meaningful contributions to society. As we gaze upon this image from nearly nine decades ago, we can't help but marvel at the timeless power of youthfulness combined with determination – qualities that continue to inspire us today.
