1945 intake pictured about 1949
John Baxter is seated, sixth from the left. Also included are Peter O’Hare and Bernard Blair. The class is probably 4A and this image is derived from a photocopy of a very poor and creased photocopy. Efforts to obtain a scan from an original photograph have failed owing mainly to the passage of time.

Although slightly damaged, this photograph features 34 boys and Mr Thomas Fitzpatrick – a teacher who had two spells at St Gregory’s: from 1942 to 1944, and from 1947 to 1952. In 1952, he was appointed to be the first headteacher at St Columba’s Secondary Modern School at Round Wood, Wythenshawe.
