1949 Dinner

Old Collegians' members from 1949 or 1950 photographed at dinner at an unknown location.
Were you to compare this with photos taken more recently there would be differences that are immediately apparent. Were we all more civilized in 1949?
(Photograph donated by Bruce Burrows, 3 Kingswood Drive, Dingley Village, Victoria, 3172, - No. 7 in the photograph).
The names below start with those written on the back of the original photo. Any corrections are noted in brackets.
It is difficult to see in the photo but the numbers start from 1 to 8 along the left side of the table, the numbers 11 to 17 along the right side of the table with numbers 9 and 10 at the head of the table, number 24 in front of number 25, number 17 in the right top corner with forehead and right eye only visible.
