Missing Name In KPS 1954 Grade 8 Class Photo Identified

Photo supplied by Linda Lee McEachern [Ellis]
Several weeks ago, this image of Kingsville Public School’s 1954 Combined Grade 8 Graduation Class was shared with readers.

It was subsequently noted that there were 8 female students in the third row, but only 7 were named:  Betty Kubis, Carolyn Denny, Carol Upcott, Shirley Taggart, Joan Stewart, Doreen Walton, Joanne Wallace

Who was the mystery student?

Linda Lee McEachern  [Ellis] came through again. The missing name was Shirley Holbeck. But the mystery was not completely solved: which student was Shirley?

Final solution: Shirley Holbeck is the third student from the right in the photo, between Joan Stewart and Doreen Walton.
