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?

MEMORIES FROM THE 1979 YEARBOOK

These pictures are all from the 1979 yearbook.  I am indebted to my niece, Paula Florey, for lending me her copy & entrusting its safe keeping to me.  These pictures are proof that the Schools run by the Presentation Sisters continued to uphold the musical tradition established by the first Presentation Sisters in Newfoundland.  It is recorded that the Presentation Sisters were the first teachers in Newfoundland to introduce music into schools on a daily basis.

Here are the pictures.  I hope you enjoy them and if you can help us out with any information, names, etc, please let us know at mcallistersmith@gmail.com.

 



Miss Eleanor  Lawton and a smiling pupil. 
Can you name the pupil?

UPDATE:  We have just been informed that this 'smiling pupil' is actually Lisa Walsh.  It is so nice to be able to name the little girl.  Thank you Lisa.  I hope you are still making lovely music!
 



Mr E Hajek and the School Orchestra, 1979. 
Are you in this picture?




Sister Mary Xaveria and a pupil.  Can anyone tell
us who the young man is?

 



Another Happy Musician!  We would love to
have a name to go with the photo.

Don't forget - if you can give us any names or stories about these photographs, we would be very happy to hear from you.  You can contact us at mcallistersmith@gmail.com if you can help with these pictures or if you have anything that you would like to have posted here on the St Patrick's Convent School Blog.
