I wonder if any members recognize anybody in this photo from the current Star? I know some people have spoken about links with the Greenbank area. Can you put a name to the girl second from left in the front row?

I'm not on there, but I used to have big hair like that.

I was a Youth Leader at St Patricks when Father Robinson was there, we knocked down the toilets in the schoolyard, to make a bigger area, I remember Jean Kane, she was a friend of my wife's. I'll enquire about the missing one.

Hey - those 'hair do's' took careful planning! Needed to go to school with your back-combing comb and a bottle of Bel-air lacquer in your bag for when you got there. A good 10-15 minutes of back-combing, 'teasing' and smoothing followed by another 5 minutes of spraying 'ozone-layer destroying' Bel-air and choking everybody in the vicinity to death. Well that's what we did at Cowley anyway .

Do you remember Miss Hacket as well?

I went to St Patricks and Sacred Heart with Pat Murrays' brother Michael. (She's seated 3rd from the left on the front row of the picture). Mike wss ordained as a priest when he left school,but left the priesthood years later. The last I knew of him he was a detective in the Knowsley Police force. Quite a career change !!

Greenbanker, Don't remember seeing this topic before, thanks for finding it.
I didn't go to Sacred Heart, but I went to Mount Carmel and we had Miss Hacket
for Cookery and Miss Faulkner for Geography and I think she taught Algebra,(no good at that).
One of my best friends at school was Kath Bebe, her Sister Barbara is in the photo.
In fact I just reconnected with Kath through Friends Reunited and Facebook.

GG, I used to go to the Sunday Discos, what year did you go?
Thinking back I remember we used to hang round with the Mods
and their Scooters. Didn't you say you had a Scooter?

Miss Hacket was scout mistress at St Patricks. Though I knew she was also a teacher I can't recall if she was teaching at St Patricks when I first started school. From St. Patricks teachers who I rememeber were Miss Gallagher and Sister Marcella. Pupils at St.Patricks who were classmates were Sheila Bebe,Steven Palin (who emigrated to Oz about 45 yrs ago)Mike Kelly,John Railton Mike Murray. I remember Easter Masses said in the open air on Greenbank and the school sports/walking days,with the girls carrying bags of flower petals which they threw into the road as they led the procession from Sacred Heart church down to the on "The Bank".

Phyll.I used to go the disco in 1969. I have a pic of me on my scooter, but cant work out how to put it on.

[Phyll]

GG, Try, I might recognise you!

Greenbanker, I didn't go to Sacred Heart, except the Youth Club around 69.
I went to Lowe House and we did that, threw petals on the ground while in processions.
