Preston Street School

Thank you to Bryan Gourlay for sending me this photograph of his class at Preston Street School.

Bryan writes:

"I’m guessing this photo was taken around 1952.

Joan Hogg is fifth from the left in the third row and her pal June Dougherty is right in front of her in row 2.

I’m third from the right in the back row"
