Thank you to David Gibson, now living in Perth, Western Australia for giving me the names of many of the pupils in this photo.  Please see the table below.

Names

"I went to Preston Street School and then to James Clark's School, and have just come across some of the old school photographs that people have sent in.

I was really surprised to recognize myself in a couple of them.  I couldn't stop recognizing and remembering the names of lots of my classmates, which after all this time seems strange, as sometimes its hard now to remember what happened last week!!!

A split second after spotting the photo I was reeling off names like it was just yesterday, not 50 odd years ago."

More Names?

"I think I got more than half the names, plus names that I cant put faces to and faces that I cant put names to.  If possible, I'd like to try and get in touch with some of the people. - Walter Bisset, Graham Ross, John Lothian.

Can anybody help to identify any more of my classmates?  I am the idiot who couldn't keep still for a photograph (front row 1st left)."

Walter Bisset

West Edinburgh

Thank you to Walter Bisset for completing the list of names for the photograph above.

Billy Whyte

"Thanks to Hugh Smith on this site and Gordon Wilson on the Friends Reunited site, I have at long last named all members of the class of 1958 on this photo.

    Class 2T1A at James Clark School, St Leonards, 1958 ©

The last person to be identified was Billy Whyte.  Gordon (also on the photo above) used to sit beside Billy at Register Class.

For a few years I could not remember any part of his name then a couple of week’s ago it came to me that his surname was Whyte as I remember, what I thought was an unusual spelling of his surname when at school."

Donnie Neil

"The only pupil that I remember meeting since leaving school was Donnie Neil.  We worked for the same company for a short period.  Then, I met him again when he was involved in football coaching as a hobby."

St Leonard's Area

"Although I now stay on the west side of the city, I enjoy a walk round the area and a pint  at Jeannie Deans.

I well remember buying 'twopence halfpenny singles' at the corner shop, which started a habit that lasted 50 years."

Walter Bisset, West Edinburgh:  December 12, 2010

Thank you to Gordon (2nd from left in 2nd row in this photo) who read the comments from David Gibson above and wrote:

Dogs to Arthur's Seat

""Well, well!  Peter Gibson and I used to take our dogs off to Arthur's Seat, me with my Labrador, Prince, and he with his three dogs, whose names I can't remember.

Happy days, indeed."
