ARE YOU IN THIS PICTURE?

It is time to get your Deerstalkers on again, my sleuthing friends!  This time we have a photograph of a Grade 4 Class,  St Patrick's Convent School.  We know that the year is 1950 but we don't have any names for the lovely young girls nor do we know the name of the teacher.  If you are on this photo, or if someone you know is in it, we would love to hear from you.  You can contact us at mcallistersmith@gmail.com with any names or details.  I look forward to hearing from you  and I thank you in advance for your help.

MISS CAREW'S GRADE 8 CLASS, 1950

Today's post is a great photo of Miss Carew's Grade 8 class of 1950.  It was very kindly loaned by Doreen Heffernan.  The photo was taken in the convent garden and, as usual, the photographer was Sr M Immaculata.  The pupils were able to purchase copies of the pictures for the princely sum of 10 cents!  We can smile at that I suppose but I am very grateful to the parents who scraped up the 10 cents and to the girls who have shared their photos with us.  I think an immense debt is owed to Sr Immaculata for the wonderful photographic record she has left us.   I just wish the teachers had joined the girls on these photographs!
 
Anyway, with thanks to Doreen, here is Miss Carew's Grade 8 class of 1950.  Anyone here you know?  Does anyone know anything about Miss Carew?
