Eight pictures from school days in South Tyneside in 1978 - the year of Grease, and the Multi Coloured Swap Shop
They all made the TV screens in the UK in 1978 and we are heading back to that year for a look at what was happening in our local schools.
It was also the year of Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta belting out a mega hit.
Closer to home, here are 8 reminders of schools that made the news in the South Tyneside area 42 years ago.
So if you were pictured at Hedworthfield or Ashley Road, Mortimer or Ridgeway, you could be in our picture selection.
Take a look.
