PHOTO EXHIBITION
THE committee of the Carnegie Heritage Centre center have confirmed that they would hold a exhibit of the site photo,s I think this is wonderful news has it means we will be able to reach many ex pupils and their families who do not have access to the Internet When we held the school re-union earlier this year l was total amazed at the large number of photo’s people had of the school and pupils, however we where not able to scan or copy them on the night. The centre has agreed to copy any photos that people may bring in on the days of the exhibition providing it does not infringe on any such copyrights.also copies of any photos which are on display will be available at a small cost all monies will go to the Carnegie heritage centre. The exhibition will be held over a 2 day period Friday 5th March from 5 00pm till 900 pm and Saturday 6th March from 10 30 am till 400 pm The aim of the exhibition IS TO PRESERVE THE HISTORY OF THE SCHOOL by showing the people of Hull, Photos of the first catholic school every to be built east of the river Hull The format of the exhibition will be photos and history of St Mary’s school RC Wilton Street. also photo’s of the area surrounding the school which many pupils came from and a brief history on the sister of mercy who came to Hull to teach at St Marys I would like to ask all members that if they have any photo,s of the school, church or pupils could they please send them in asp has the cataloging of the photos is going over the next few months in order to be ready for March. At the same time may l also ask you that has there is going to be and "NOW and THEN" section on the pupils of the school could any one who now wishes to write a small history of them selves and family which could also be put up on display (i.e. your life after school) The Carnegie heritage Centre provides a venue for local and family history research for the people of Hull
l would like to thank the committee of the centre for agreeing to host the exhibition
THE SCHOOL LIVES ON
John brady wrote some sterling words in a thread on rememberance day "I would just like to take time out on this speacial sunday in our live,s, to remember all those ;boy,s and girl,s, who left the parish of ;st mary,s;and east hull ,to take part in the two ;world war,s; and not forgetting all the recent conflict,s,"
we all know of a pupils who have passed away but they need never be forgotten while we remember them on this site. Like the school their memories can live on
If any one where to walk down Wilton street they would not see any thing that would give a person a clue that a school or church once stood down there for so many years, for both the church and school where demolished many years ago. On the site where they once stood now stands some industrial units. I was not there at the previous reunions but when l attended the one this year it was clear to see that the pupils who had attended the school no matter how old they may be now have never forgotten the school or its teachers. We can never rebuild the school, but what we can do is keep its memory alive .It was clear to see that some people had lots of photographs of the school and the pupils who attended the school. They also had some grand stories to tell and it would be a great shame if they where lost in the years to come. The site has given some of us a chance to save our memories and photo’s and while we continue to add to the threads and the pages of the site, the school will never be forgotten.
“THE SCHOOL MAY HAVE BEEN DEMOLISHED BUT IT CAN LIVE ON “
With your memories lets build this site to remember

"does anyone remember the shool camp we went on after the war, I think it was called Ralston camp."
hi James it was rolston camp near hornsea; james, l remember going there in the 1950,s so it was still going then, further along from it was a army camp which in later years l was also to go there if my mind serves me right it was a week of cross country runs and george formby films with a few days down on beach
