TypePhotographDateBetween 1st January 1950 and 31st December 1950CollectionWeir House Residents' Association archivesDescriptionRight. A portrait photo capturing more of the students as they wait in their “uniforms” for dinner on the Weir house driveway. One student stands out of the line in military uniform, a tin hat, and holding a rifle. From album page 52, titled "ONE sunny Sunday in 1950, almost all the residents were on A-floor or outisde the front door – a very common occurence just before Sunday dinner. Someone had a bright idea, and the whole house was fallen in threes, those who had them producing rifles (or golf clubs, sticks), tin hats and uniforms. Bag-piper McHague piped the company into dinner."SubjectWeir House
