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!

Don't forget - if you can give us any names or stories about these photographs, we would be very happy to hear from you.
