                                                                                                         That looks like Sean Tabb in the back row to the left of the lad with glasses.

Do you mean to the right  of the lad with the glasses the one to the left is one of the twins Gerard I think...

That's actually Marty Tabby.   When I have time (hopefully later today) I will try to identify as many faces as I remember - probably only about ten.

That would be great Joe 90 I only know 3 of them but might remember names of the others ...

Sorry for my earlier typo - of course I meant to type Marty Tabb  (not Tabby!). I think I put these names up a couple of years ago, but here they are again (the ones I remember, that is):
Back row (left to right): Mickey Kinsella, Gerard Meleady, fourth from the left is Marty Tabb; The teacher is Joe Ewins
Second row: Paul Meleady, fourth from left is Paul McMahon, 6th is Paul Joseph Hughes
Third row: Third from left is John Bradley, Hugh Devlin is next; Joe Sloan is at the right hand end of the row
Front row: Third from the left is Brian McCann, fifth is Paul Henry Hughes, seventh is George ?, eighth is Tony Mulgrew.
I'm afraid I don't remember any more.                                    c

I never knew Mr&Mrs Tabb's surname as we were allowed to call them by MR&Mrs back then we called all our friends Mum and Dad Mr&Mrs unlike todays kids they call everyone by their first names

Those former pupils of St Theresas, who remember Miss (May) Ewings may like to know that she passed away on 21st May, in a nursing home in Lurgan. I am inserting a link which hopefully will display her obituary, but if it fails try Googling May Ewings.

When you open the web page click on obituaries and search on her surname Ewings

It may work better if you just type www.funeraltimes.com into the web address window and search on that.
