"This photo was taken by someone at the school  -  I'm not sure who.

I don't remember the girls' names. I only remember the headmaster, I don't know if that is a good sign or not.  His name was Mr. Allan."

Thank you to Bill Jansen, Portobello, who wrote

"My wife, Rena Taylor was in the netball team.  I think she was the captain, the one holding the ball in this photo."

Thank you to Dorothy Addison, Canada, who replied:

"Bill Jansen thought he recognized his wife in the Towerbank School netball team photo.

Yes, he is right. The girl holding the ball was Rena Taylor, the captain, and I was sitting to her left.  It was a great team."
