Christina Gardner said: “I can see my cousin, Linda Gardner (now Clark) and her sister Hazel’s hubby John Brown - great photo - spotted all the way from Wellington, New Zealand.” Dilys Ann Chisholm added: “I know some of these folk. I was at Largs High from 1960-1965 - I remember Sandy Cureton, Aileen McIntyre, Anne Mackie, Janet Immison, Patricia Duffield, Vivien Whiteford, Lynne Ewing, Margaret Scott, Barbara Black, Janet Glendinning and Sandy Young.” Yvonne Irvine Hoffman added: “That’s my class - but I must have been off that day. I moved to Largs Higher School after attending Ms. Brown’s Academy. I don’t see Maggie Craig or Ann Corner - were they in a different class? I might be the unknown one in second row from the bottom/third from the right - but not sure because there are no photos from when I was a little tyke!”
