Hi are you related to Harold monks ?

That's me in the front. Close to tears as I had realised that there wouldn't be enough chairs and figured I wouldn't be in the picture. I had been put to the back of the line before we were placed. As an adult I can see that my dress is dark so I was probably put there for balance. Didn't appreciate that at the time. This photo is an amalgam of two classes caused by the staggered start.

Is that Mary Mcnamee? Fourth from the left on the back row.
