Here is another photo, courtesy of Mark Frauenfelder, from his grandmother Nethie Davis (nee Pont) and mother Lorraine Grace's (nee Davis) collection. It depicts the students of Glenreagh Public School at a possibly a sports day. The field that they are sitting in is not known but a road can be seen behind them, as indicated by the two fence lines. There are many unknown faces in here so please let us know who you recognise. Behind the boy on the left who is holding the flag, the three girls sitting directly behind him from left to right is Eileen Watson (dark curly hair), Dorothy McGregor (blonde hair) and Jean Brown (wearing a bangle on her left arm. Behind Jean to the left, is her sister, Shirley Green, and the boy on the left, behind Shirley is Greg McPherson. In the row that is seated behind Jean Brown, the second boy in that row is ? Ellem, with Basil Thompson seated behind him, then Lorraine Davis.
Of interest is that all the children appear to be wearing the same uniform, so it was a more formal occasion that a normal school day. It is not known if all the children in this photo are students of Glenreagh. Perhaps only the middle three rows, seated behind the boy that is kneeling with the flag laid along the ground in front of him, are children from Glenreagh School, and the children to the far left and on the right of this photo belong to other schools. Given that there is a gap between these groups and the boy on the right appears to also have a flag, this is possibly the case. If you can identify any other children or the ground, please comment below. While we don't have a date, it is estimated that this may be taken in the very early 1950s. AccNr01010
