GROOVY pupils from Malton School took a trip back in time when they held two 1970s theme nights.

The students and their parents dressed up in their finest flares and frilly shirts for the occasion, said deputy head teacher Stephen Fearnley.

"Last year we put on a 1960s themed event and it was so successful we decided to hold another one," he said.

"The students presented art, fashion music and dance from the decade.

"It was a real trip down memory lane for the parents who lived through the 1970s."
