I love this photo, thanks so much for posting! I remember some of these faces as if it were yesterday but not from St Bedes but from St Joseph’s in Norton – I’m sure we were all in the same class, David Butler, Michael Harrington lived near me on Norton Avenue , The twins Peter and Ged Burns – one of them sat behind me and was always dipping my pony tale in the ink well! and finally Phillip Davison who i’m sure was the tallest boy in the class. I also remember Norman Wright and Stephen Kelly from St Joseph’s too. Some of the girls from my class were Angela Booth , her mum was a teacher Mrs Booth, Lesley Pickering, Margaret Mac, Marie Simpson and my cousin Pamela Rushworth. I think Mr Kelly was our teacher. Happy happy days, what a great year, think it was summer 66 before we all went our separate ways, I ended up at St Joseph’s Convent in Hartlepool for the next 6 years……nightmare, I wanted to go to St Marys.

How sad that two of the 31 have already died, presumably under the age of 70.
