Many thanks to Janette Lloyd for contributing these pics of her mother's days at Leith Academy Primary

1934

1935

1936

The 1935 photograph is of her mother's class dressed in costume for "Boys and Girls Come out to Play" which was performed in Leith Town Hall to mark the Silver Jubilee of King George V. Janette writes " the dresses were blue with white spots and the boys wore ties and belts to match. She is Dorothy Eunson and is in the front row at the right hand end, she would have been 5 or 6 in 1935 depending on the date of the event."
