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.

Initiation 1970
This ritualized hazing called student initiation would never be allowed these days. Essentially the Grade 10 students got to initiate and humiliate the Minor Niners or incoming Grade 9 class. Here Dale Irwin is being tormented by Mike Goreski while Victor Suppan laughs in the background. Dale's face is covered with black shoe polish. He is being made to eat some bitter berries while being sprayed with hairspray while Mike Goreski applies wood glue on him. All in fun?
