OCHS stood for Oshawa Catholic High School. It is now known as Paul Dwyer High School. It is still located at 700 Stevenson Road North in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada. These images are from my photography archives, and they are intended as a blast from the past. I have just digitized these images from dusty negatives that have not seen the light in a pile of years. In addition, other archive photos have been added from contributions by graduates and teachers of the high school.
I don't know the name of the person in the center of the pic. What did strike me is the popularity of check and tartan pants.
Update: Please read the comment. The person in the center is Joe Defilippis. Rob Van de Valk has the armload of books. In the comment section a reader speculates on the haberdashery of Joe Defilippis.
Below is a hall scene scanned from a yearbook that appeared on an archive site of OCHS that disappeared from the web.
The person in the centre is Joe Defilippis - he worked part-time at Dunn's (a men's clothing store in the Oshawa Centre) - maybe that's why he was such a snappy dresser. The smiling fellow with the armload of books is Rob Van de Valk.
