Ian Gill (RHS 1956 to 1969) sent in this Primary 5a photo taken around 1960. If you are in the photo we would love to hear from you.

Thanks to all who helped identify the bespectacled chap standing next to David Leadbetter as Richard Fisker. I think Graeme Selkirk was first to recall his surname, or at least a close approximation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite having been posted several years ago now, this page is still very much alive for the 1960 year 5 cohort, so any further comments or reflections from the year group will be welcome. Just fill in the form at the bottom of the page. There may be a delay before your comment appears as approval may be needed. We’d also love to hear from you if you were fortunate enough to have Miss Roy as a teacher. Any class photos or similar are welcome.

More boys had joined by the time we reached Primary 7a, and colour photography replaced monochrome – see the 1962 photo of William Watsons class<\/a>. If you were in 5B, with Miss Morrison in 1960<\/a>, we have your picture too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barbara Ewing Roy, b. Falkirk, died in 1981, Leith, aged 75. – From Ian Cowie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well—that was indeed a blast from the past!!! Strangely I could remember almost all the names apart from the guy next to David Leadbetter.You’re right about Douglas Dooner–you can remove the question mark. I always thought it was Robert Boog but my memory could be playing tricks. I remember going to the opening of the Forth Bridge (road!) with Neil McGilp and great times watching the “Edinburgh Monarchs” speedway team at Old Meadowbank with Neil McBeath<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The bespectacled chap” memory does play tricks at our age but I’d put money on his surname being Fiskas or something similar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
