“Agreed
The staff members from left to right as we see it are Mr. Gibson (Technical Studies), Mr. Hind (Modern Languages), Dr. Todd (Chemistry), Mr Bell (Physics)
The School Captain was Alistair Aitken so the photo is from the academic year 1957-58. Alistair was tragically killed in the Autumn 1958 in a car accident on his way from his National Service Army depot to participate in a rugby match Old Morrisonians against the Ist XV”
