Sylvia Hickey nee Nicholls has been doing a massive photo tidy and came across this.  It was taken at a party at our house in Nyali I would guess 1960.

Not a uniform in sight but all were pupils at Mombasa convent.

The names I think -ageing memory and all that and I am not certain of some

Pamela, Penny, Vikki, Stephanie,Pat,Gillian, Theresa, Beth Graziella, Susan and Susan, but I may be wrong it was after all 48 years ago.

Thanks to Alice Cameron (nee Holmes) for this wonderful photograph of Loreto Mombasa in 1947.

Back row. second girl in Elizabeth Nightingale. 5th girl Diana ? 6th girl Gisela Von Brauhauser

End of second row. Audrey Jennings.( who used to come round to play in the holidays! We were quite naughty on occasions!)

Third row. Sally Broomhead. Marcelle Perigeux. Alice Holmes. at the end Zelda Hughes.

4th row. Brenda Kempton. 5th along Anne Blackwood. Cherry Adcock. 8th along Ann Shepherd Smith.

One of the little boys was I think Ann Shepherd Smiths brother.

( Mrs.Shepherd Smith was Matron at Msongari for a time)

    Does anyone from Loreto Convent recognise this picture? It was taken at a nursery school nearby.  This picture was added to the Friends Reunited Website by Suzanne Free

This photograph came from Mo Scanlan.  Names please????

the teacher on the right is Mrs Chisnall - Deborah Chisnall's mother. Deborah also had an older sister called Joanna. The teacher on the right was French - her name is on the tip of my tongue but escapes me at the moment. Thanks again to Mary Hamilton (Phillips)

Thanks for Peta Kean-Hammerson for addition names

 In the front row with me was another Peta and we thinking her name was Elliott.  Looking that one up too. 

I received this photo from Jonathan Elliot. He says of the photo - the date is November 1966, I am third from the right (teacher end), sitting on the bench with my arms crossed. I believe the teacher's name was Mrs. Staples.  Nicola Hedges (nee Kean-Hammerson) is in the 3^rd row 5^th person in from the Right. 

Thanks to Suzanne Free (63-70) for the above photograph of her class.

Suzanne also sent me these photographs of a swimming gala in the late 60's!

Laura Fraser lcfraser@shaw.ca I was delighted to find this website.  My family lived in Mombasa for two years in the late sixties, and the swimming meet pictures were taken during that time.  I can't remember the name of the Physical Ed teacher -- the tall, energetic-looking older woman -- but I do recognize two of the girls in the right-hand picture.  The very tall girl on the extreme right of that picture is Fiona Anton, and I am standing just behind her, just visible, biting my nails as usual.  Just to the right of the Physical Ed teacher, also with her hand in her mouth and wearing a blue cap, is Marcia Mauro, I think.  Another name that comes to mind is Jennifer Burt -- I think she was in a lower Form -- and a girl named Merope, whose last name unfortunately eludes me.  They would have been at the same swimming meet, although I can't identify them from the picture. The pictures would have been taken in 1968 or 1969, I think.I do recognize some other faces, but it's been a long, long time and I can't put the names I remember together with the right faces. (02/01/09)

Thanks for putting a few names to the faces Laura.

Do you recognise yourself?  Let me know!

Tina Duff-Dobson (Herbert) has sent me some wonderful photos of Loreto Mombasa and writes; I got a friend to scan them for me so I'm afraid you'll get our Brownie Pack one taken in 1953 as well - there were a number of Convent girls in that one.   Of the other ones the big one was taken in 1958 at a Sports Day and the other two smaller ones taken in 1960 (without numbers) and 1961 (with numbers).   Hope someone can recognise someone they knew.
