Mini Album from Across the Bridge

I've been gently reminded that I haven't provided much coverage of our sisters from Across the Bridge in recent months. Let me assure you this isn't deliberate - only that in the past few months there've been several other topics and activities that have distracted my focus in this blog.

So to redeem myself, here's a Mini Album of photographs of our STS sisters from the 1970s. I'm afraid you guys will have to do the identification of the roses for yourselves. Nor can I provide any clues on when, where and why.

What's happening here ?

Baywatch ?

 

The Committee ?

Hitting the High Notes ?

Snacks and Beer ?

Over to you ....

Zooming in on St Teresa's School

This entry focuses on that school across the road, the one that has held the fascination of many a St Joe boy then and now.

First, we have the view from across the road ...

Then, using St Joe's ultra-powerful telescope, we zoom in further ...

And we zoom in further still ....

And even further ...

and finally bringing the image into clear focus, we see ...

and

Wow, I knew those Physics lessons on lenses & magnification would come in useful some day ;-)

I'll leave you to identify the beauties ...

Another Form 5Sc class of 1976

Here's another photographic gem ... St Teresa's School, Form 5Sc class of 1976.

Take a close look. Who can recognise? Do you know where the ladies are now? Have you been in touch with anyone?

Form 5Sc, St Teresa's School, 1976

At the request of some of you - obviously those with failing eyesight - I've given this photo the same treatment of expanding into left, middle & right sections. This will hopefully allow you to see the faces better, and hopefully jog those fading memories.

If you'd like a clearer view of the entire photo, you'll need to download the file onto your PC, then view it in a larger format.

Enjoy ...

Snapshots from the Seventies - A St Joe-St Teresa outing

Another very old photo that was recently brought to my attention. I won't say much about it, except that it is obviously some sort of outing by the same level classes of St Joe and St Teresa. I'm told this was in either 1974 or 1975.

Take a good look.

Maybe YOU are in the picture. Or maybe you can help name the other individuals in the picture ? Or maybe you can update where they are now or what they're doing ?




For a start, let's see who's the first one who can name everyone in the picture. ... ;-)

Through the Looking Glass (or at least Across the Bridge)

In response to occasional questions like "do you know what happpened to that pretty lass named ........ ?" and suggestions that this website may be missing the other half of the Form 5 (1976) story, I've created this post precisely to extend our conversation in this direction.

Feel free to ask your questions and share your knowledge. Perhaps through your comments here, we could find out more about some of our fair "sisters" from St Teresa's (or St Bernadette's or St Mary's or other girl schools further afield ....) . Only rule boys - please keep it gentlemanly :-)

Maybe someone could even pass the word to some of our lady friends from the 70's about the existence of this website, and some might drop us a line :-)
