From Fifty-One Years Ago...
From Jimmy Brown in Ayr, this is P6, 41 children at Holmston in 1949.
He's in the middle row, second from the left. The picture is a little scratched,
which makes one little girl look like she's chewing a pencil!
This is still in the days before the new school uniform was introduced, the pupils
are wearing individual clothes.
There's a fairly full list of names below, recognise any Grannies or Grandpas?
Back row, left to right -
M. Love, D. McCulloch, M. Mathews, J. Gordon,
H. Muir, S. Court, L. Coia, J. Walker,
T. Martin, A. Cannily, H. Thomson, J. Jackson.
Centre row -
D. McCartney, J. Brown (whose photo this is), I. Black,
R. Allison,
T. Nixon, J. Hendron, G. Campbell,
R. Thompson,
T. McCulloch, J. Patterson, K. Hamilton.
Front Row -
S. Willson, M. Ferguson, J. Crawford, J. Smith,

Seated - A. Allan, N. McCreadie, J. Kelly, B. Ross, - .
The names are taken from very clear, but very small, handwriting on the back of the picture.
Spelling mistakes are
probably the editor's fault!
