The teachers are two of the Misses Barry (on RHS and LHS, in light-coloured clothing), and Miss Mary Rankin (in centre, dark dress). Note: An article in the Ballarat 'Courier', 24 August 2001 (copy of article kept with photograph), identifies the Barry sisters as Miss Lena (Helena) Barry on the left, and Miss Gertrude Barry (wearing glasses) on the right. This article also names B. Dawe, James O'Beirne, Arthur Angus, Fred Angus and Percy Wishart as members of the group of boys.Black and white copy of original photograph, which shows a group of boys in costume - mostly white hats and collars worn over dark clothing, although one boy is wearing a dark cap.
