THIRTY-FIVE years after they passed through the school gates for the final time, a group of former classmates were reunited in Cleethorpes.
Back when the Havelock School pupils were heading out into the big wide world in 1978, Grease was still the word in cinemas and Boney M spent five weeks at number one with Rivers Of Babylon.
Fast-forward to 2013 and 60 former Havelock pupils headed to The Punchbowl, on the North Promenade.
Organisers Jasmine Best and Chris Duncan even dressed as Pink Ladies from Grease to commemorate their favourite film.
Jasmine, 51, from Scartho, a care support worker, said: "Chris and I met at school and we've been friends ever since.
"We used to go to the Northern Soul nights at the Winter Gardens every Saturday together when we were at school.
"We've had one class reunion before, back in 2000, and we thought that enough time had passed now to make it worth having another one."
Chris, 51, of Tetney, who is a support worker, added: "It's fantastic meeting up with people who you haven't seen for years and seeing what they've been up to.
"I have very happy memories of school. It was a happy time and we were all very well behaved – honest!"
The former classmates enjoyed a buffet before dancing to 1970s hits from artists such as Abba and The Bee Gees.
One person who still has close links to the school is Jayne Humphries, 51, of Cleethorpes.
She is a kitchen assistant at Havelock Academy, as it is now known.
She said: "I started working at the school about eight years ago and it's a very different place now.
"I've worked in both the old building and the new building and I've got to say the facilities are much better now than they were when I was there.
"School wasn't really for me and I can't say I enjoyed it that much but I did manage to stay out of trouble.
"It's nice being able to catch up with old friends and see what they've been doing since."
Sales adviser Tracy Fenwick, 50, travelled from Leeds for the reunion.
She said: "I loved school and had a great time, so I have many happy memories of my time there. I think the fact that so many people have come to the reunion after 35 years shows that we all got on"
Karen Wilson, 50, of New Waltham, works as a staff nurse at Grimsby's St Hugh's Hospital.
She said: "I didn't come to the last reunion, so this is the first time I've seen everyone since we left.
"I was worried I wouldn't recognise anyone, but nobody has changed that much – we are all just a bit older."
