School Photos
The archive has a large number of group photos
dating to the years before 1976. As the school grew in
numbers, whole-school photos became impractical
and a photo of the departing Sixth Year was taken,
framed and mounted in the chapel corridor. When the
Gonzaga Record was established it became the
practice to photograph each class separately.
Photos of Sixth Year in the ˋsixties and early
ˋseventies do exist, but they do not correspond with
the full year group recorded on the college database
because of the large numbers of students who left the
school at the end of Fifth Year.
There are no individual class photos for the ˋfifties,
and few of the whole-school photos are convincingly
dated. The best that can be done at present is to
include photos that clearly or probably belong to this
decade, giving a probable date, and wait for readers to
help with final identification.
Corrections are urgently required!
The same applies to a number of photos of
confirmation groups included here.
