This Newlands class photo shows my class with our teacher, Miss Margaret Critchley, before she left to get married and, with her bridegroom, go all the way to Australia where they would work as missionaries. Missionaries being sent to Australia in 1959? I wonder why Ozzies in Sydney, Australia needed missionaries by the nineteen-sixties.

Do you remember that Miss Critchley used to hold Scipture Union classes after school on Fridays? Do you remember if you ever attended any of the Scripture Union mtgs?

The S.U. meetings were held on the upper level end classrom on the boys wing - the Music Room - and they were FUN. We would sing well-known children's choruses, memorize scripture verses for prizes (special fancy pencils etc.) and compete in guessing games for other wee treats.

Miss Critchley always tried to include every child who was willing, and gently coached those who were a bit quiet or shy.

Infant Class of August 1955
