........ My Da, Jim McArthur attended
this school as a 5yr old in 1936 for three
years before moving to Bridgeton and Rumford
Street School.
Nov.2007, extract from
messageboard, GlescaPals AgnesB, Cumbria I attended Dovehill for about a
year or so around the fifties,and found an old
pal from there on friends reunited, I can only
remember a few names of kids who attended the
School one being my pal Sally,others Marie
Chapman, another wee girl called Linda ? boy's
name George Andrews ? thats all I can remember
at the moment,one thing that sticks in my mind
is a colouring competition and I'm pretty sure
it was Marie Chapman who won it but could be
wrong such a long time ago,think the prize was
a toy Kangaroo,funny I don't remember one
teachers name.
I attended the School around 1956/57? maybe a
wee bit either side, it's been so long ago, I
think there was a shower block in the School?
when I was there, it was a good wee School I
enjoyed my time there very much

extract from messageboard, GlescaPal Bette,
Canada One teacher I remember as she was such a
darling was Miss Howie, and the principal at
the time was Mrs. Wright (spelling). I used to
be scared to death of her until one day I was
called to her office, and for the life of me
can't remember why, she showed me pictures of
her grandchildren and it became clear to me
then that she was actually human. lol There
was also a teacher, Mr. Carson, white haired.
I was probably at Dovehill around 1937 - 1942.
