This photo was taken in the second floor auditorium at an event for the young ladies of the senior classes to show off their newly learned skills to mom. It appeared on page 12 of the May 14th, 1958 edition of the Free Press.

Any help with first names of the women in the photo would be much appreciated. The caption is below the photo.

Girls of Port McNicoll Public School were hosts to the mothers at a tea Friday afternoon. Left to right are Mrs. W. R. Elliott, her daughter Helen, Marlene Loney (serving), Mrs. John Hartford, and Mrs. Wm. Tunnock, Helen’s grandmother.

This photo is a companion to the one shown in School Days 5 – with Molly Malone and her mother, Virgie. Both photos appeared in the County Herald, each on page 1 of the May 4th, 1956 edition.

The Clifford family lived on the southwest corner of  8th Avenue and Nottingham Street. Harold had two sisters, Catherine and Mary.  Any additional information would be appreciated, including Mrs.Clifford’s first name. The caption is below the picture. Corrected with assistance from Brain Garrett, Thank you!

Parents turned out in large numbers for the “open house” at the public school in Port McNicoll. Harold Clifford (Butch) a grade 8 student show his mother Mrs. Harry Clifford the fine lamp he has made. Principal Lyall Thorpe on the left.

Today I’m going to present you with mystery. This photo was taken on, or about, the 16th of April 1958. The other photos are all of a school open house, an opportunity for students to show off their handiwork to proud parents. It was also an opportunity for the staff of the school to prove to citizens that their tax dollars were being spent wisely and effectively.

This photo wasn’t published in the Free Press or the County Herald (sister papers) and therefore we don’t have a caption to print today. I know that the gentleman kneeling is Port McNicoll Public School Principal, Lyall Thorpe. However, the identity of the young man is unknown – at least to me. I’m sure we will know his identity very soon though.

Please leave a comment here or on the Facebook page that brought you here if you know who this young man is.
