My Husband went to St Oswalds and left in 1946. Mr Herbert Marra was headmaster then, and the other male teacher was Mr Lawrence ( Gussy) Ireland, who taught Standard seven, and who later, was appointed head of Sacred Heart school. You will remember then, the school garden in Richmond Rd, which was run by Gussy, and the mothers used to come after school on a Friday afternoon to buy the produce. Three of the girls in my husbands class were Margaret Smith, Maureen Barrett and June Gardiner. Did you know any of those?. You may have know my husbands younger sister Margaret Mooney.
