Main Hall....pupils receiving physical education 

Dalmarnock School Hall cc1916
A class of approximately 47 children having PE (remember some children may be absent) with 2 male members of staff. Notice also that a few of the children have bare feet.
Some pictures are on the wall and a large poster for the Savings Bank of Glasgow in Ingram Street.
The School Board encouraged pupils to open up bank accounts often starting with a penny.

At the rear of the hall, on the wall is a large electric bell - while along the far side wall is a rack containing barbells! Remember them?  The Board granted this rack to the school in 1894 ( the original letter from Mr.McIntyre, the Headteacher, is still in the archives)

My thanks to Dr.R.Winters for this information
