PHOTO MEMORIES FROM MAUREEN

Today we continue with our little walk through the years of St Patrick's Convent Schools.  Our evocative photos today come to us through the kindness of Maureen Martin Tobin who has sent two pictures from the 1960s.

Maureen's Grade 4 Class is the subject of the first photo.  The year was 1964/65 and the teacher was Miss Doreen Walsh.  Maureen is in the first row, fifth left.

The second photo is of Maureen's Grade 7 Class, circa 1968.  Maureen is the first girl on the left of the first row. The teacher at that time was Miss Fagan/Austin. I am happy to see that the teacher is in the photo.  It is always nice to be able to put a face to the name.

Maureen, any names you can give us would be appreciated.  Thanks again and please keep the great material coming.  Happy Easter to you and your family.

GRADE 7, 1959/60

This year, 2019, marks the twentieth anniversary of the closing of St Patrick's Convent Schools.  That day in 1999 St Patrick's students walked the well kept floors of the "new school" on Patrick St for the last time.  It was a sad day indeed.  Today, I will begin posting photos from different years and submitted by girls from those years.  

The first photos were sent to us by Pat Hurley McDonald.  It is Pat's Grade 7 Class and the year was about 1959/60.  Pat informed us that her teacher that year was Miss Catherine Kennedy. 

A very big "THANK YOU" to Pat who has been a loyal supporter of this blog since its beginning.

MRS MEANEY'S GRADE 7 CLASS, 1979

This great photo was sent to me by Shelly McAllister who rifled her 1979 Year Book for pictures for me.  Thank you very much Shelly.  It is greatly appreciated! 

There must be lots of you out there with Year Books, pictures, etc, so please don't be shy.  Why not e-mail them to me at mcallistersmith@gmail.com
