I'm sorry to have been so long in getting to this problem, but I had to locate a better (read bigger) copy of the picture, and do some research on the names. I don't have them all, but I do have most of them, though I'm not sure about a few. I've added a Question Mark to those for which I'm not sure. I've put in a Question Mark only for those I don't remember, and added a list of names for consideration in the hope that someone will recognize the name and the face, and put them together.

There are some people who I know were in that class, that year, but they must have been absent for the picture, or I simply don't remember them. They are Helen Garlow, Jack Halcro (went to Victoria in June), Annabelle May, Judith Muise, Ron Piesanen, Dorothy Stewart, and David Tennant. I think Barbara Hadcock joined our class in June (from Port Dover), maybe after the picture was taken. If you knew any of these people, and can recognize them in the picture, please help us fill it in.
Otherwise, I'll try to identify the others now that I have narrowed it down, when I get another chanc and if I can find out the date when the picture was taken .

I tried to edit the above message to make a couple of corrections and additions, but they didn't stick, so I'll try to add them here!
Add the name Jean Curtis to the names I don't remember or can't find in the photo. Also Gord Williamson had been in the class but dropped out, and Raymond Osborn didn't make it to the end of the year.

Yes, I have made a mistake with the numbering. I was working without the Numbering system copied onto the print of the photographs, and missed Judy Green. Here is the list corrected and renumbered.

I made a copy of some of the Registers - specifically the Attendance Record for Grade 8 for June, 1941- at the Education Archives when I was there for the Annual General Meeting of the Friends of the Educational Archives on October 20th. The record shows Marlene Pett in attendance for all 20 days in that class in June. (I don't remember her in our class at all, as I thought she was a year behind us., but I remember she was very pretty, and I think her nickname was "Mouse", and that seems to match her expression in this picture.)
There was no Barb Redfern listed in the Record for June.
The picture may have been taken in May, or even April, but I don't have the Attendance Records for those months. I'll try to gt them when I can get up there again in the future.

Now that Fred has filled in the numerous gaps that I left, the names I couldn't remember are all familiar to me and I have to thank Fred for the fine effort in doing that. I will take my original picture and transcribe the names on the back for posterity (mine).
Also, in looking at that picture of Marlene Pett, I wonder if she didn't get the nickname 'mouse' from that hairdo?

Thanks again to Crawfish and Fred for filling in all names to all of the faces:tbu:
I have attached another class picture that was sent in by Ross Somerville,

"Good day:
I'm not sure on how to post a picture to your gallery but here is an oldie I just found of my grade one class at Bell Cairn around 1953.
Here is a list of the tags in the picture that I think are correct but it would be great to get others to way in on this one to identify as many as possible and where they are now.
I am 3rd from right bottom row; Ross Somerville
2nd from right I think is Mike Kernick (not sure of spelling)
bottom right is Dorthy Bullbeck (not sure of spelling)
5th from left bottom row is Jerry Symington (not sure of spelling)
8th from left bottom row is Brian Hutton ( I think)
4th from left, 2nd row is Jerry or Jimmy Simmons ( I think)
4th from the left on 2nd row is David Simmons, great guy and good school friend
Wish I could remember more but the years have clouded my memory.
Cheers

Fantastic Scotto: I know 95% of these kids and the Hannas that I was talking about in a previous post are there also. Both brothers in the same class although they were at least a year apart in age. Bobby was the cleverer one (I think) and the eldest and I can't remember why George (Red) ended up in the same class.
