Another good photo Phil.
You've no changed that much, I picked you out straight away! There are one or two others that haven't changed that much either.
Keep the photos coming.

I think this photo is 1952 when whole school had class photos taken in which case this is Class 1. Remember Phil you are in the 1954 class photo I'm in

Front row, 4th from right is Nora Borwick.
You are right,Joey. That is Deirdre Campbell, 2nd front row, 4th from right. She had 2 brothers, Dermot and Donald and they lived above what is now the DE shop in Albert Street. She was a pal of mine in those days. I have tried to get in contact with her over the years. They moved to Troon but I believe she married a surgeon and moved to Oxfordshire. She had 5 children. I have not managed to get in touch with her yet.
