LATE FLASH - FABULOUSLY SUCCESSFUL REUNION HELD - WATCH

THIS SPACE FOR THE REUNION REPORT

  Welcome to the Durban High School Class Of 1963 Website.

The objective of this website is to locate as many members of our DHS Class of 1963 as possible, and to encourage them to attend the 50th class reunion in Durban on June 7, 8 and 9, 2013.

Anyone who was at any time part of the class of 1963 - i.e. the group that started at DHS in 1960 and mostly matriculated in 1963 - is eligible to participate.  The list on the website includes all matriculants in 1963 and all Junior Certificate recipients in 1961. 

If you were a member of the class and your name is not on the list, please email me at lgclarx@aol.com and I will add you to the list.  Guest members from other years are also welcome - if you would like to be a guest member please contact me at the same email address.
