St Joseph's School

Sports Day c1951/52

By Kathy Nichols

My picture of the school sports day probably dates from 1951-52. I can name several people:

Front row: L to R: Maurice Hoadley, Mary Clark, Robert and Terry Hicks (twins), ? ? ?

Second row: Second from right Joseph Storrow, next to him is possibly ? Walsh. I (Kathleen Read) am standing behind him next to an unknown girl. I think the girl holding the younger girl is Josephine Pirolli, the child might have been called Julie but I'm not certain.

Can anyone else put any more names to faces or correct me if I'm wrong?

Kathy, I believe the boys holding the St Joseph's sign are Brian Bostock, the tall boy on the left, and myself. I am not sure what year it was - 1950 or 1951, but I went on to St John the Baptist the next school year. It's great to see these old pictures.

Josephine Pirolli later went to St John the Baptist and then Fitzherbert at Woodingdean.

The 2 boys front bottom row are Bob Hicks and Michael Hicks. Yes we are twins. Both going strong here in Australia!
