Hughie I think the photo dates are wrong. The first one is Class 1A, in 1965. The 2nd one we are all older, so poss. 2nd year.
First photo with Nun(Sister Cecily) in middle. Now bear with me classmates and remember its nearly 50 years ago !!!

Front row : 1.Catherine Quinn, 2.Jennifer Donnelly, 3.Margaret Twigg, 4.Ann Fallon, 5.Bernadette ? from Stevenston, 7. ? Conlan, 9. ? Martin, 11. Angela McManus
Middle row: 6. Kathleen Maroni? 7. Sylvia Henderson, 8.Elizabeth Ballantyne 11. John McVeigh, 12.Tom Murphy
Back Row : 7. David Lundy, 12. Michael O`Rourke

Hope this helps.

Hughie, the memory has been jogged by Brian and I can second all that he said re the missing names for this 1966/67 photo which is in fact Class 1A 1965/66 ( depending on which month it was taken ).

The John McVeigh that Gerry mentions was from Ardrossan and not Stevenston, I can remember that much.

No progress on the other two but they say that patience is one of the greater virtues. The other St Michael's photo will be wrong as well, it is more than likely to be 1966/67 than 1965/66.

I hope this helps and I will follow with interest.

Thanks just now, Danny.

I also think this is class 1A for the year 1965-66 and I can identify one or two others:

2nd row from the front: 4 Anne Fallen
Front row: 4 Ann Grant 5 Bernadette Ferguson 7 Elizabeth Conlan 8 Mary Martin

The John Mcveigh thats in the photo did he come from Stevenston?

Gerry

Think he's from Ardrossan Gerry - he's Bobby McVeigh's brother.

What age group is this photo? My dad would have been around 15 then and went to St Michaels.

I think this would be a 2nd or 3rd year group. My cousin, Catherine Quinn, is at least 3 years younger than me and I was at the school from '62 -'68.

this group would be born 52/53

Hi hugh, thanks for letting me join . Im interested in -if possible , getting a hold of a copy of this photo.I am a former st michaels pupil . I now work in a school near salisbury and (margaret twigg, 3rd along front row) is the head teacher who is now retiring . I know she would love this picture. I tried to print it out for her but the quality isnt very good. Any help would be very much appreciated . She also may be able to help you out with some missing names .
thanks Laura.

Hi Laura, welcome. Unfortunately that is the quality of the photo as I received it. I'll write to the person who sent it to see if we can get one of better quality.

In the meantime if there are others out there with a copy I'd be glad to receive it and pass it on to Laura. My e-mail: hugh.mccallum@gmail.com
