St. Mary's Primary School

Below is a picture from St Mary's Roman Catholic Primary School, on Shern Hall Street. This pictures dates back to 1956 or 1957. I think the teachers name is Miss Boatman, but she could also be Miss Bridge. We used to have a short saying, "Miss Boatman's the boat who sails under Miss Bridge". Funny how some things stay with you. I remember a lot of the faces, but not many names. In the second row is Loretta Nalley, Third row is Linda Mitchell and Paul Gandolfi, In the back row is Roger Durey and Vincent Manzi. I'm the one right in the middle, with a tie.
