This is a picture sent to me by Enid O'Brien and her sister, Joan (Stanford) Dutile. It is Joan's Grade 4 picture from about 1950. It is a great picture and I only wish that Mother John was on it. Have you noticed that in the class pictures from the 50s and 60s the teachers were seldom in the photo? I wonder why? Perhaps they were just shy! On that thought, if anyone has pictures of any of the teachers, they would make great posts here. You could send them to me at mcallistersmith@gmail.com
I love the background to this picture too. I am no expert on architecture but I know what I like and I love the look of the Convent in the background. It is a really beautiful building. Also, note the washing on the line. By the way it is blowing, I would say it was an ideal day for drying clothes!
