Clara McDowall is fifth from left on back row
I have found this photo in my archives. I have no
idea where it came from. Perhaps someone can help identify. The
janitor is Mr T. MacLachlan and the other male I believe to be Mr
Ballantyne (Wee Bally), but I may be wrong. I think it is from the
late 1940s.
