Higher Grade and Primary - Help with names in pics

[Hughie]

Following on from the previous post I had an email from Elizabeth McNeil with the following information:

The unknown person on front row is Betty Dodds
The unknown person beside Betty Walker is Marlyn Mc Ewan
You have wrong name for Joyce Kilpatrick It is Joyce Allen

[Mac]

Thank you John Cook and Elizabeth McNeil
(Would that be Elizabeth McNeil nee Dring by any chance?)

That was `weird seeing Betty Walkers name in one of the school
photos. I seen her when I was back in August, me and my sister made a point to go and see her in the shop she works.
She was moving to "Turkey " a couple of weeks later
We even seen pics of her house etc.
Us Scots continue to scatter everywhere

Hi Mac,

No, those details came from Elizabeth (Betty Havlin) McNeil. They were given to her by her cousin Ann Havlin. I believe Ann has a sister Margaret who was at the HG with my wife.

I'll be posting the names for the HG 1956/57 Class shortly.

Thanks Hughie,
I had a friend in the Station Square (late 40's early 50's) called Jim (or John Havlin). Got me wondering whether these ladies are any relations?
(I suppose that would be too co-incedental!)

Hi Norman, I see you posted a pic along with Ann Havlin, I often wonder what happened to her ( if it is the same one).
The ann I knew was little and lived up the Hayocks.
She was sooooo cheery.

I've put some more photographs on the threetowners website of Stevenston Higher Grade pupils which were supplied by Norman (Mac) McLaren You can see them on this page

Hi Hughie,

Ref the 1953 picture of the teachers. 2nd row from front 4th from left might be Miss McDonald, not sure though?
