The original Visor magazines used the Latin words "Salvete" and "Valete" to welcome new pupils and to say goodbye to pupils leaving the school respectively. I have decided to use Salvete on this site to welcome new visitors to the site, many of whom are former pupils and staff of Birkenhead Institute.
A special welcome is therefore extended to the following former pupils who have recently contacted the site:
SALVETE: -
GORDON HODGSON
ALAN JONES
DAVE FORSHAW
STEPHEN ABBOTT
TONY SLEE
LEE HUGHES
W.C. WEIR
JOHN BAKER
PAUL LOMAX
ALAN HALLIGAN
DAVE LEE
JIM GIDDINS
STEPHEN SAUNDERS
LEE HUGHES
MARTIN CAMPBELL-KELLY
BEN JOHNSON
ROBERT I. JOHNSON
KEN KERR
PAUL MURPHY
LEN POLLOCK
GRAHAM VAHEY
KEITH SEDMAN
Also, I would like to thank Gordon Hodgson, Alan Jones, Dave Forshaw, Stephen Abbott, Ben Johnson, Robert Johnson, Keith Sedman, and John Baker for their help in providing me with some excellent Birkenhead Institute items for this site, including some invaluable old B.I. photographs and Visor magazines.
