Oh my god!!! I have never seen this picture nor do I have any memory of it but I am H. Phillips the third boy with the dark hair in the back row next to the tall boy. The boy with the cap in the front is James Holden. I left Platt Bridge in 1955 to immigrate to Australia and now live in the USA. Last time I went to Platt Bridge was 1995. Thanks for capturing this photo..John Bailey..I think we were in St. Nats together.

Hi John, great to hear from you. Yes I remember the book everyone signed. Unfortunately I lost it somewhere in the variety of moves I have had in my life. Do you still live in the area? Are you in touch with any of the old gang from St. Nats. I have been in communication with Thelma Smith who gave me updates on the people she knows. Great to hear from you and I love this picture.
