I am e-mailing you a St Brides Primary photo of my class which has been in my possession for some time now. Unfortunately I am not in it as I was probably off sick on the day! A lot of the faces are familiar but names escape me. It would be great if some of your viewers could fill in the gaps. I think the photo was take about 1952 as the kids look about 9 0r 10 but this is purely a guess.

The teacher is Miss Colven who became Mrs. Biggins and even later a Councillor with the East Kilbride Development Corporation and later still with South Lanarkshire Council.

Back row - third from left is Michael Docherty. 6th from left is a boy who lived in the Borgie Crescent house immediately adjacent to the playground? 9th from left is George McGuire (I think), followed by William Nugent and the last boy on the back row is Michael Emonds.

Middle row - The girl 4th from left is ? Connolly and the 6th is Cathy Reid. I see both around Cambuslang from time to time.

Third Row - The only name I can give you is the girl 6th from left - Anne Rafferty who also had a Greek surname like Avenceanu ???

The ruffians in the Front Row sitting are a complete mystery!

I would like to hear from any of the faces and it would be great if more faces could be identified.
