TWENTY FIVE YEARS AGO 7, MORE MUSIC, DANCE AND SONG

Did you know that the Presentation Sisters were the first teachers in Newfoundland to introduce music into schools on a daily basis? Well they were and that musical tradition was carried on down through all the years and in all their schools province wide.  This post shows St Patrick's Pupils enjoying the music, song and dance opportunities on offer. I am grateful to all the people who have contributed these wonderful photos. Thank you so much for your help.

ST PATRICK'S YEARBOOK, 1979

Here is a selection of photographs from St Patrick's Convent School Yearbook, 1979. Are you in any of the pictures? Can you tell us a bit about them and the activities? You can send your stories to us at mcallistersmith@gmail.com and we will be happy to share the information here on the blog.

****UPDATE!  The little girl playing the xylophone has gotten in touch and we are very happy to be able to put a name to the pretty face.  It is Linda BARRETT McLeod.  It is so nice to have a name to go along with the picture so thanks Linda for getting in touch.  Anyone else out there with some names to add?  If so, we would love to hear from you at mcallistersmith@gmail.com.

ACCORDING TO THE YEARBOOK, EXCEPT FOR ONE, THESE ARE THE DANCERS.  COULD SR LUKE BE THE EXCEPTION?
