St John's Classroom Photo

Can anyone put a date and names on this photo?

There are some teachers at the back as well. One, I'm sure, is Mrs McNeil, who taught Primary 2 for a time.....

[John Donnelly]

This is Rene Traynor's qualifying class in, I think, 1950. Rene is in the middle at the back. There are no other teachers there. The two taller ones are just big girls.

Front row extreme right is Sheenah McCready. Just above Sheenah's head in the third row is my sister Margaret Donnelly and to the left of her is Marie Reid.

The Girl in the 2rd Row extreme right is Agnes McBride, my sisiter-in-law. If she comes back to me with date & names I will post them

When I was initially shown the photo, I was told there were some teachers at the back.

That's obviously not the case, as Anne's sister-in-law, Agnes, has superbly put names to the faces.

Unknown to me when shown it, which I wasn't aware, an older cousin of mine is actually in the photo.

Of course, I see him now.

Knowing the age of my cousin, these pupils must've been born around 1940.

A big well done to Agnes.

I forgot to put Teacher beside the name Rene Traynor as John had mentioned it aswell.
fortunately the names were written on the back of the original which she had.
