Beltin pix there Brian. A year, maybe two, before my time, but I recognise a few faces and I think that's Mr Joe Lillis, the head on this pic. The unforgettable Agnes Moore is on another one, but who is the other teacher? He never tsught me, as my lot moved to the Girls School and became Junior Mixed (!) after two years at the Boys School.
it was mr green "phil"

Hi John I have just looked at these pictures and they are great ones of my Dad Joe Lillis the head master
second row, far right is James Lyon (Jimmy), my brother. Died aged 42 in 1992.
You are right, Barbara, my mistake, it's not Chris Deluce. How sad that Jimmy died so young. A vivid memory of Jimmy is a teacher who wasn't there long, Mr. Marchant, trying for whatever reason to give Jimmy one of the stick. Jimmy kept pulling his hand away at the last minute, then when Marchant tried to keep hold of his hand, he snatched it away and ran to the other end of the classroom! Priceless.
On the left of the teacher is my brother Terry Rogan.
