Joe Pritchard 2004 !March 2004 Joe Pritchard, Brisbane, Australia
"I was at Dalmarnock P.S, and the teacher I remember was Mr.French, a fine teacher. He lived in Greenhead St.  I had just started at John St. Senior Secondary when war broke out and was evacuated to Lochmaben and billeted with a lovely family, which although the parents are dead now, I am still in touch with their family. I was called up to the army beginning of 45, served for a while in the Black Watch, and after a couple of years whilst serving in Egypt was transferred to RASC, probably because I was playing soccer {fitba} I played with some well known names, particularly Mike Haughney of Celtic. I could not forget that name coming from Brigton. I hope to send a school class photograph, I think it was taken about 1934, Ms.Stewart is the teacher in it. 
I have found a long lost cousin, namely Charlie Robb, living in the U.S.A. I hope to find a school photograph taken at Dalmarnock P.S. with yours truly, and I am sure some of your subscribers will be in it. I think it might have been taken in 1933-4. Keep up the good work, as it is a fantastic web-site. G'day."

Webmaister thanks for a great job on the Dalmarnock P.S.photograph.The boy seated front,second in from the right is William Sproul,sorry at this stage I cannot think of any of the other names .By the way the teacher in it was a woman. If my memory serves me right she took music classes, but then in those days teachers taught all sorts of subjects. G'day mate.----Joe
 
June 2009 Margaret Symington (nee Rogan)
extracts from letter " Dear Mr.McArthur I have just bought myself a laptop, I have still a lot to learn, however I am finding it very interesting. my son and my niece have been helping me. ........ I saw the Dalmarnock School photo and it was my class photo and this is why I am writing to you."
Margaret was born in Ruby Street, Bridgeton in 1926 and looking back she remembers having lots of fun playing. She remembers making tents with old newspapers, she and her pals would go over to the Tram Depot and pick up all the used matches which they used to join the newspapers. The tent got built it rained the tent ruined, then they start all over again!
 
Webmaister : when Joe sent me this photo he gave me two names, his own and Willie Sproul now thanks tae GlescaPals Margaret Symington has added another 28 names to this c1932-34 class photo!  Many thanks Margaret.
