i went there lol, i was terrified of mrs reynolds did you have to do that awful country dancin?. lots of those names sound familiar though its hard to put faces to them after all this time. def remember the tarantini bros, and mark and john webster, did you know jeanette cryer, mandy hawnt, julie goodwin, linda nuttall, margaret beal?

I remember the dancing.....in the hall across the playground. Really hated it too. The name Julie Goodwin rings a bell, and of course the Tarantini brothers, the eldest being John Tarantini who we called "squashed nose" then ran like the clappers as for John Webster, we were pretty good mates at the time. Another name was Louise Woodhead and her little twin sisters, all three had lovely ginger hair as I recall. There was a tall girl called something Colley, used to tell us she was Evlis' cousin......they were the days.

Hi Jam, yes, it was Beverley Collie...well done, but as for the other names, I don't recall any of them. I was born 1961, and only went to St. Marys from about 1868 ish to 1971 ish, thence onto King Teds, then Lady Manners at Bakewell. I don't recall going to the Bole Hills for sports day, but I remember the day we heard Mrs. Reynolds had died, I went running to my mum standing at the school gates shouting "mum, mum, Rennybags is dead".....for which I got a huge slap across the head ....ho hum.

A friend who is not a member of this site is currently transcribing the surviving admission registers for St Mary's from c1946.

 

She is very keen to find people with class photos, especially if they have names for the children on them, so that she can put faces to the names in the registers.

 

If anyone can help please PM me and I will put you in touch.

I attended St Mary's 1948 to 1955 and can't remember class photos ever being taken only individual ones.
