Dorothy M. E. Jamieson (or Jameson – records vary) was born 24/3/1894. From 1912-1913 she is registered as a day student of Drawing and Painting, changing to a day student of Design in 1913-14, and back to a day student of Drawing and Painting in 1914-15. Her address in 1912 is given as Clydeview, Balshagray Avenue, Partick West (one of the fine merchant houses in Whiteinch which was destroyed in the 1960s to make way for the motorway*), changing to Glenwood, Langside Road, Newlands in 1914.

Records* indicate her parentage to be that of James Steele Jamieson (a Grocer, Wine Merchant, Italian Warehouseman and Agent) and Nellie Armour Brown (nee Wiseman) Jamieson. These records also list her as having two younger sisters, Edith B. (born 1897) and Ada Constance (born 6/11/1901). The 1901 census records indicate that the household had a live-in domestic servant (named as Janet L. Russell). This, and the nature of Dorothy's addresses, would indicate her family to be one of means.

The son of a wealthy businessman in Berlin, Hans was expelled from the Friedrichs Real Gymnasium under the anti-Jewish legislation of the 1930’s. Unable to pursue his intended career he became a carpentery apprentice in the trade school of the Jewish community in 1937. He worked unpaid with the Reich's Representation of Jews in Germany ('Reichsvertretung der deutschen Juden') until February 1939, then later in the same year, emigrated to England on the Kitchener camp scheme.

Despite initially initially helping at a BBC monitoring centre translating German short-wave radio signals for the War Office, he was deemed an Enemy Alien and was interned on the Isle of Man, later travelling in the HMT Dunera to Australia. He volunteered to join the Pioneer Corps in 1941, was posted back to the UK, and sent to Scotland to build stage sets for the Entertainment Corps. In 1942 he enrolled as an evening student at the GSA taking classes in Drawing and Painting, then in later years switching to Commercial Art and Design.

After the war, he formally anglicised his name to Harold Jackson, took up British citizenship, married and opened a very successful Graphic Design business on Pollokshaws Road in Glasgow. Hugh Jackson Screenprint Ltd. became one of the first companies in Scotland to develop the technique of screen printing on plastic.

Following his first wife’s death in the mid 1980s, he began to paint, producing pictures of his experiences before and during the war which were exhibited at the Beth Shalom Holocaust Memorial Centre. He also helped create the Garnethill Synagogue’s Esterson Archives Room, now part of the Scottish Jewish Archives Centre.

Albert Jackson. Although Albert appears in The Glasgow School of Art registers of 1912-1914, 1915-1918 and 1919-1922, there are various discrepancies as to his given date of birth. His birthday is always listed as 25 October but the year of birth deviates from 1883-1887, depending on each register. In all of the registers Albert is listed as a Mechanic (Engine Fitter) or as an Engineer. Again, these listings are not consistent across the years.

In his early years at The Glasgow School of Art, Albert is registered as a Saturday student of Drawing and Painting. In 1915 he changes to an evening student (again with Drawing and Painting) and in 1919 returns as a day student of Drawing and Painting, Modeling and Design.

Albert's address in the 1912-13 register is listed as 1259 Govan Road, Glasgow. In all the other registers he is listed as residing at 5 James Street, Whiteinch.

Isabella Jack was born 23/11/1893. The 1914-1915 Glasgow School of Art register lists her as residing at 934 New City Road, Glasgow, and names per profession as 'Machinist'. Isabella attended evening classes during this session but there is no record as to what discipline she was training under.

There are three Isabella Jacks her age listed as residing in Glasgow in the 1901 census but it is unclear as to which (if any) are her. In terms of geographical area it is most likely that she is the Isabella Jack listed as the daughter of James B Jack (Confectioner) and Elizabeth Jack, residing at 3 Braco Road, Glasgow, in 1901. This however cannot be confirmed.

Daniel Ireland was born on 20/9/1895. He was first registered at The Glasgow School of Art as an Assistant Bookseller in the 1910-11 session, studying at evening class under the tutelage of a Mr Jackson. He returns the next year, listing his occupation as Warehouseman and studying Drawing and Painting at evening class under the tutelage of a Mr Shanks.

In 1901 the family resided at 272 Duke Street though records would indicate that prior to this they had lived in Perthshire.

On 7/6/1918 Daniel's youngest brother, Alexander, signed up at the Maryhill Barracks and was enlisted into the Kings Own Scottish Borders regiment. It is likely he fought in either the 2nd Battle of the Somme or the 2nd Battle of Marne. There is no record of his death or his return.

Arthur James Scott Hutton was born in Glasgow on 10 January 1891, one of 8 children of Isabella Hutton (née Bain) and Robert B Hutton, an architect and structural engineer. He commenced his studies at The Glasgow School of Art in 1910 initially taking evening classes in architecture and from 1912 /13 as a full time student of architecture following the career of his elder brother David Bateman Hutton, a practising architect. Hutton's biography is detailed in the Dictionary of Scottish Architects as follows. Arthur James Scott Hutton was born on 10 January 1891 and was articled to Duncan MacNaughtan & Son of Glasgow in 1909, studying at the Glasgow School of Architecture under Eugène Bourdon. He was a successful student, gaining a bronze medal in 1911, silver in 1912 and gold in 1913, and was Haldane Bursar in 1912 and 1913, and Haldane Travelling Scholar in 1914. He spent his last two summers of study, in 1912 and 1913, in the Inland Revenue Valuation Department and in the Hamilton office of Cullen, Lochhead & Brown. In June 1914, having completed his studies, he was appointed assistant in H M Office of Works, Edinburgh.

His nomination papers give a business address of H M Office of Works, Edinburgh and a private address of 21 Derby Crescent, Kirklee, Glasgow. He retired from the Royal Engineers a Captain in September 1919. On 5 September he was appointed architect to the Imperial War Graves Commission in France Belgium and Germany, working under Sir Herbert Baker, Sir Reginald Blomfield and Sir Edwin Lutyens to execute their designs for British military cemeteries as well as designing and carrying out many himself. He designed 67 cemeteries including Marzargues Indian Cemetery, Longueval, Fricourt and the Memorial at Arques-la-Bataille. He also assisted Lorimer on cemeteries in Germany. He left the Commission on 15 October 1926 when he was appointed to the Public Works Department in Kenya on the recommendation of Sir Herbert Baker. There he supervised the construction of all buildings designed by Baker under the Colony's Loan Programme, amounting to a total value of some £700,000 by 1935. He was elected FRIBA on 22 July of the latter year, his proposers being Baker, Blomfield and Thomas Lumsden Taylor. By the late 1930s Hutton had transferred to a post as Senior Assistant Architect in the Public Works Department in Singapore, the Straits Settlement.

Sir William Oliphant Hutchison was born in Kirkcaldy 2 July 1889, and was educated at Kirkcaldy High School, Cargilfield, and later at Rugby School. He entered Edinburgh College of Art in 1909 where he studied until 1912, leaving to form the Edinburgh Group with Eric Robertson, A.R. Sturrock, G. Spence Smith, and D.M. Sutherland (later Principal of Gray's School of Art, Aberdeen). He studied in Paris, and worked primarily as a portrait painter although he also exhibited landscape and figure paintings. Hutchison served in the Royal Garrison Artillery during the First World War, in Malta and in France, where he was severely wounded. Shortly after his demobilization, late in 1918, he and his wife took a studio flat in York Place in Edinburgh. They remained there only until 1921, when they moved to London.

Hutchison practised as a portrait painter and had some measure of success. He exhibited regularly at the Royal Academy, joined the Savage Club, and had a wide circle of friends, mainly connected with the arts. He was appointed Director of Glasgow School of Art in 1933 and guided the School through the pre-war years, overseeing connections between the School and the Empire Exhibition of 1938 and the first four years of World War II. Although he had had no teaching experience, he made an excellent director. He painted very much in the academic tradition but was always ready to help and encourage students and young artists who aspired to the avant-garde. He maintained a keen interest in all staff and students, and those serving in the armed forces were sent cards and presents from the School.

Hutchison was a member of the Glasgow Art Club, the Royal Scottish Academy, the Royal Academy and the Royal Society of Portrait Painters. He retired from Glasgow School of Art in 1943 to continue with portrait painting in Edinburgh and London. In 1964 he held an exhibition of his work in London. Hutchison was a retiring and modest man but he had a good speaking voice and was in demand as a public speaker. He was also a great raconteur and his reminiscences of his early days in London were a never failing source of pleasure and amusement to his family and friends. He died suddenly at his home in London in February 1970.

Hutchison studied Visual Communication at The Glasgow School of Art, and graduated in 2004. He was awarded the W O Hutchison Prize. After art school he became lead singer of Glasgow-based band Frightened Rabbit.

Graduated from Edinburgh College of Art in 2004. In 2006 was commissioned to make a teapot and cups for Sharleen Spiteri as part of the 'Silver of the Stars' project pairing contemporary silversmiths with ten Scottish celebrities. Each silversmith and celebrity pair designed and made a drinking vessel inspired by the universal theme: ‘a drink with a close friend’. Opened a shop in Edinburgh in 2011 selling her own designs alongside work by other contemporary jewellers.

Tom Hutcheson RGI, was an artist and teacher born on the 13th of November 1922. He enrolled at The Glasgow School of Art for session 1941-42, and then volunteered for the RAF. He returned after the war to continue his studies from 1946-49, and graduated in drawing and painting. Among his tutors were Hugh Adam Crawford, David Donaldson, and Geoffrey Squire. Douglas Percy Bliss was then director.

Tom taught very successfully in Glasgow junior secondary schools pioneering, along with Danny Ferguson and others, the new art teachers' philosophy, which fostered creativity and imagination. In 1977, he was appointed principal of art education at Jordanhill College, thus carrying on the work of Sam Black.

From the outset, he was a dedicated painter, exhibiting publicly from 1949 onwards. His subject matter was invariably drawn from the landscape of the West of Scotland, with occasional forays to Skye or Spain. His love of the mining areas of Ayrshire and Lanarkshire furnished him with a steady stream of subjects which, as he matured as a painter, became more concerned with colour and texture, and less with topographical detail.

In 1949 it was "Tanyard in Cumnock". In 1989 it was "Earthscape in Mottled Green and Muted Reds". He acknowledged this himself, stating: "Colour is, for me, the most important element in painting. But it should never be used solely in a decorative, anecdotal or descriptive manner. It is the element for expressing emotion and feelings."

His work is in many public and private collections at home and abroad, including those of the Queen, arts councils, and the art galleries of Kelvingrove, Detroit, and Puerto Rico. He was a regular exhibitor at the Royal Glasgow Institute, Royal Scottish Academy and Society of Scottish Artists, and was a longtime member of the Glasgow Art Club. Another Glasgow connection was with the Glasgow Group of Artists, whose annual exhibitions in June at the McLellan Galleries were, for many years, a regular feature of the art scene.

Tom died suddenly on the 1st of November 1999 while collecting work at the close of this year's RGI exhibition – in sight of the Glasgow School of Art, where it all began over 50 years ago.

Drawing illustrations for the Daily Record, The Bulletin (which was sister paper to The Herald) and the Daily Express, she also carried out advertising work which appeared in the Evening Times and the Evening Citizen. Hunter also won numerous advertising commissions from clients including department stores like McDonald's, Frasers and Watt Brothers, furriers like Whitneys and Morrisons and ladies outfitters including Pettigrew's and Daily's, sketching wedding dresses and lingerie for posters and brochures. She was perhaps best known for her Garcia Girl page, which was the brainchild of then-Daily Record editor Alistair Dunnet. She would go out to functions on a Friday night and then draw the best frock of the night and write her copy over the course of the weekend. Women would buy the paper on a Monday to see who had been chosen as that week's Garcia Girl. She said that the last drawing she did before the deadline came out the best, as the deadline gave her an edge. It was unusual for a woman to do what she did at that time. She continued working into her 80s, and died in 1990.

After leaving Glasgow School of Art where she qualified as a textile designer, Eirene worked for the United Africa Company as a studio designer. Marrying a Naval Officer meant a change in her life and she travelled the world with her husband and two sons, tackling any art oriented job that came her way from teaching to painting scenery for the stage. Two years in the United States of America gave her the opportunity and time to start her career in animal painting, a subject always close to her heart. She not only exhibited in the United States but also gained recognition as an animal painter working on commission. After returning to Britain she developed her own particular style of oil painting in which the animals appear in a natural setting - gun dogs working in shooting country or portraits of champion bulls on their owners' farms. The animals she has painted include many champions from both sides of the Atlantic - cattle, horses, sheep and dogs; but many are well loved pets or ponies who have no claim to fame.
