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.
The nun pictured is Sister Gonzaga. The club is the Library Club. I don't know what the library club did, but I bet that they did it in the Library. According to Maureen Moloney, the library is no longer called the library. It is some sort of resource center now. The minor niners of today call it the room where they have all of those boring web pages printed out on paper with a cover. 
Actually, Ken, the term now used for the library is the Library Learning Commons. The Library Learning Commons is more than just a place where books are stored. The term "resource centre" is early 1990s. The Library Learning Commons is reflective of the twenty-first century.
ReplyDeleteI remember this picture pretty well, but I can't remember all the girls' names. I was President of the Library Club and the job was a tough one for all the members: keeping all those books taken out and returned, ready for the next student that needed it; looking after audio-visual equipment that seems so antiquated now with the new technologies...fun times for us though, as we all had fun helping others find what they needed for research on whatever projects were being done at the time!
