TeachersPet Posted March 31, 2011 Author Share Posted March 31, 2011 Mrs Dignam lived a couple of roads away (remember all the back to backs). On a Friday afternoon my older brothers would go swimming at Sutherland Road baths and they were supposed to come back for me to take me home but they usually forgot. I would go to Mrs Dignam's home with her and wait for my dad to come. I didn't mind that much because she had a telly and I could watch Rintintin. I loved my time at St. Caths and knew all the teachers mentioned. Mrs Garrity was the head of the infants. Yes, I remember Mrs Dignam with great affection. The things she had to clean up! That lady was a star! The name Mrs Garrity rings a bell but, for some reason, I thought Mrs Smith was head of the infants? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daisy2 Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Miss Smith was the teacher of Infants II in my day. I particularly remember Miss Garrity because one day when everyone had gone and I was left behind again, she said I had beautiful curly hair and when I grew up I would be glad of the curls. I was busy crying at the time and said I hated curly hair. A five year old's memory! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeachersPet Posted July 3, 2012 Author Share Posted July 3, 2012 Hi my name is Sandra Spencer I went to st cathrines in 1964 with my brother Danny Spencer who has since passed away, I remember it with very fond memories, we lived in the new massionettes across the road on monfort drive bottom floor right across from the school and chip shop HAPPY DAYS. Those maisonettes you mention are in the background of a photo of St Catherine's in PictureSheffield of children supposedly playing in the playground. Anyone can see it wasn't our playground - it was where they kept the bins but the kids found it to be a great playground, as kids usually do!
