Last week we launched our new project to try and track down some pupils who attended a school in Hull in the 1980s and we've had some success! We've found our first person.
The children all took part in a project called 'What Do You Know?', they were all asked that question by an American artist and they had their responses recorded.
Now we want to track them down. Some of the children who took part in 1982 would have been about 12 or so at the time.
Do you recognise anybody?

Scientists at the University of Hull have found the amount of plastics in the Antarctic is worse than expected.
They found levels of microplastics, which are less than five millimetres in diameter and used in things like toothpaste, shampoo and clothing, were five times higher than expected.
It was thought that Antarctica, considered to be a pristine wilderness, was relatively free from plastic pollution.
Image source, Science Photo LibraryDr Catherine Waller, an expert in ecology and marine biology at the University of Hull, says the ecosystem in Antarctica is "very fragile" with krill fish and other small marine creatures being a major component in the diet of whales, seals and penguins.
