Hi attached is a photo from the Bardon Scouts from 1956. In this photo is some Marist Rosalie Old Boys, well young at the time and probably around Year 4. At the back and third from the right is Tony Hooper ((1964). In the second row from the front and third from the right looks like Peter Campbell (1963). Next to peter and towards the middle is definitely Greg Packer (1964) and next to him is a boy with the last name of Mathieson but cannot remember his first name. He was not a Rosalie Old Boy. Thame male Scout Leader had the last name of Lewis, I think. Now the next bit is a bit tricky. There are two boys, one second row from the back and third from the right and the other second row from the right on far left has been tricked. I believe on of them to be Barry Gilmour who went to “Rosa” then left around scholarship and went to Ashgrove. The look they could be twins, but Barry did not have a twin brother. In the front row and third from the left is a kid called Darryl Angove. His mother was the hairdresser in Rainworth and had a shop opposite the state school. He also did not go to Rosalie. I am at a bit of a loss who the others are so if you know please tell us but do not say I recognise someone and give their name without indicating which image you are referring to.
Finally, the young girl at the from is my sister Patricia (Pat) Griffith who was the Cub Mistress. Pat was educated at Sacred Heart Convent, Rosalie. On the left of the Scout Leader is the brother of the Mathieson guy mentioned earlier.
