Mrs McShane was my aunt. She was headmistress in Tanygrisiau and then the girls primary school in Maenofferen before moving to the co-ed school.

Others I recogise/remember - Merfyn Jones (loved his cricket!!!) he is far right in back row. Owen Edwards (head) was also the head in the boys school. Staunch labour!! And I have never ever left an open "o" after he taught us handwriting in ink :-) Great teacher though. next to merfyn (who eventually became deputy head I believe) is Sylvia ann Jones. She was the pianist for the choir for many years. I was in the oakley Band with her husband, Dafydd Noel.
