Student-Teacher Basketball Game 1970

Two scanned pics from the Heritage yearbook of 1970-71 where the students played the teachers in a basketball game.  Top row is where Sister Conrad consults with Mr. Bambrough while Mrs. Morris holds the ball and in the bottom pic, Sister Jane shows some action.

Another Tranche of Teachers From 1970-71

Here is another bunch of teachers from the 1970-71 year class. Herbert Gentry (Music, Band), Miss Iwaniac, Sister Mary Angela, Sister Mary Buckley (Math), Blair Morris (Geography, Urban Studies), Mrs. Morris (wife of Blair Morris), Frank Sachetti (Physics) , Sister Theresa Rodgers (Accounting, Business, Typing)

We were young, we were kings and we didn't know it.  The 1970's were one of the best times of the century to be alive.

1970-1971 Teachers Continued

Going left to right, row by row:  Miss Holland (she taught me math.  Good math teacher with a British accent), Mrs. Kearns (she taught me French as well.  Glad for the French now, not because of the Quebec riverside summer home, but because of the regular visits to Provence in France), Sister Marie Howorth (she taught me Latin).  Tony Meagher (later priest and bishop -- he taught me English).  Miss Ruth Nicholls (had her for a number of years, always enjoyed her classes).  And we come to the inimitable Graham See (had a great jocular relationship with him, and developed pics for him.  RIP).  Mrs. Thompson (she taught me History.  One day Shorty [Glenn] McLaughlin made her cry.  The latest fad at the time was streaking your hair.  She had her hair streaked.  When she entered the classroom, Shorty said "Good Morning Mrs. Zebra".  It did not go over well.).  And then there is Tony White our gym teacher.

Art Chai and Bob McDonnell

In the above pic, Art Chai helps Bob McDonnell ponder over a math problem.  Bob went on to become a teacher, and after retiring from the same school board where he was a student, he went on to teach in the Bahamas, and is currently finishing up a multi-year gig teaching in China.

Unfortunately, Art Chai has had no respite from his grave illness, which he suffers with the same grace that punctuated his life and teaching career.

Teachers 1970-1971

Teachers from the 1970-1971 year.  Mr. & Mrs. Bambrough (Mrs. Bambrough taught me French -- with a Cockney accent -- ironically I am fluent in French today), Stella Barnett (Typing and Business), Ivor Boyagoda (Chemistry), Anne Brady, George Callender (History), Jack Cole (Vice Principal and Math), Mr. Deweert (Art), Sister Dorothy Schweitzer, Bev Ferguson (Librarian).

OCHS Chapel in the Full Moon ~ 1971

This was the cover photo of the 1971 Heritage yearbook.  I was a staff member of the that yearbook.  This is a photo of the chapel attached to the convent of OCHS in the light of a full moon.  The photograph was taken by a Father O'Malley.  No first name given.
