The Teacher is Miss Rendal she was Dux of the KGS in 1946. Would estimate the date about 1948. Her married name is Rosie (St Margarets Hope).

Is the teacher no Mrs Oag?
Added by Bruce Moar on 14 January 2009
I would agree with Bruce on teachers name, I got her in Primary 4 Erland 1977
Added by Ian on 15 January 2009
I thought teacher was Mrs Oag as well Bruce

The teacher is Mrs Oag and this must be in the 70s. None of the kids here were born in 1948 never mind having their photo taken

The teacher is definately Mrs Oag. The pupils in the class are a wee bit younger than myself but I recognise a few of them - Michael Firth, Kenny Adam, Laurence Leonard, ? Schollay(boy) Sharon Findlay. ? Wylie(girl), Chris? Nicolson, Patsy Heddle

This photo appears to be taken outside the school at what is now Papdale Primary School which was not built in 1948.

It is not often I am right, but at least you now know who was Dux of KGS in 1946. I did know Miss Rendall then. I wonder why it has taken so long to add comments to this photo. Would Clive Miller be in this class? I know one with that name who was born in 1961, making him 8yrs then. He was in Australia at one time, and perhaps is still there.

Does anyone have news of Carlotta McDonald Young?
Added by Barbara on 20 February 2009
What a great bunch!
I surprised myself how many I could name. You were a fine looking woman Mrs Oag (I can say that now seeing I am nearly fifty).

Clive Miller was home earlier this year. I met him at a coffee morning in King Street Halls.

I was also surprised by how many names and faces I could remember as I left Orkney in October 1970
Added by Carol Craigie on 16 October 2014
Interesting photo. Coming from Hoy I did not know anyone in the photo until 1972.
