If you started your school-going life at Scoil Muire Gan Smal in Castleisland in September 1983, this photograph will bring back memories for you.
As a test for our interested readers we decided to hold the names until tomorrow morning.
We have a list of all the names in the order in which they appeared in the photograph – but there would be no fun in publishing them at this stage.
So, take a trip back in time and see how you fare in this memory test – safe in the knowledge that the full list of names will be added here in the morning. Have fun.
We hope you had fun remembering the faces and names of the photograph. Here is the full list with a promise of more from the archives very soon. We’re amazed at the reaction and grateful to all who took the time to like and share. We hope you are all well where-ever in the world you find yourself.
