Hello Ladislao,
Having a short go (guess) at the Class of 1964.
It looks like a snapshot out of 'The Boys on a break from the War -Singapore lets say!'
Christ, what a collection!
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6. (A) Clarke - Smart guy; Destined to become a doctor. Sat at the back right-hand corner of the Study Hall.
7. One of those 'Box-Heads' Mitchell - Most likely Gordon 'Alex' [Don't think it's you Don - Alex was always smartest in pose]
8. Paul Tadros (?) Lived in Couva.
9. (Christian?) Gurley [or Brendon]
10. Could be a Tang
11.
12 The American. Good friend of Don Mitchell. [Paul Zevan???]
13 - Can't recall this teacher yet. But must have been a tough bastard to be able to control this lot.
14.
15. Possibly Richard 'Jiggs' Anderson
16. John 'Johnny'/'Bram' Abraham - The Wild bush-man who made 'Brams Den' in the hills & Guitarest
17. (Guessing all this now) The resembelance to John (16 above) places him as his brother. [Some years after leaving MSB, I believe that this person died tragically by drowning while aqua-lunging in the caves in the Northern Hill - Coura/Valencia?!] Need to check 'Bram' on
that one.
18. A remarkably cool character.
19.
20.
21. Mervin Assam
22.
23. An ubiquitous Herrera. God knows which one though.
24. (This is a shot in the dark) Coonhow? (South Trinidad) A possible genius of philosophy, from what I recall. [Applicable to the person in the picture - Not the name indicated if incorrect]
25. Possible Galt
26. T T T T ?????? David Narrine's left hand. [Topping??]
27. None other than 'Nazi'
28.
29. Could it be: The Posing 'El Tigre' Himself? [Reported dead by suicide on Curacao] Poor fella - A bit overly strung; and was in love with....
30.
31. A short-ass lively head-case out of Pointe-a-Pierre, Trinidad. Can't recall your name bro, but were you a bunch of trouble! Hope you are well and still kicking strongly. (A de Bruin or something!)
Having read what I've just written + the comments added to the 1966 picture; seems that I have an avid obsession with death recall!
Not so strange how we all became brothers; strange how one wishes to recall their passing.
[Hoping however that I may be at least accurate.]
That's it for now
Cheers
Tobagojo
