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?

M. Love, D. McCulloch, M. Mathews, J. Gordon,
H. Muir, S. Court, L. Coia, J. Walker,

Centre row -

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!
