Graham Messenger. Great photo. First Communion was always a combined event. Must have been a major effort to find you a tie and persuade you to wear it

Leone Stewart
Wow… this is an amazing pic, I haven’t seen any of these girls since I left St Patrick’s, and went to St Mary’s Hokitika, but rememember them all , yes I’m Leone Forde( funny how no one ever spelt my name correct) and have great memories of these girls, I’m editing this as I have remembered Dale Rea came to St Mary’s Hokitika and I played netball with her
