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.

Scans from 1971 Yearbook
The frontispiece picture of this blog comes from the 1971 OCHS yearbook. I was a camera buff and was collecting old cameras at flea markets and auction sales. I actually made the picture with the chess set in the winter of 1971 when I was bored and decided to shoot some film.
When I started putting up these pics, I was in the Bahamas, and just had an external hard drive with my scanned negatives. I didn't have access to most of my stuff and the yearbook.
Now that things have quieted down, I will start scanning pics that I missed from this yearbook. On a whim, I scanned the cover of the yearbook itself. In the sepia-toned black and white pic, you wouldn't know that the paper was gold-coloured.
The hockey pic above actually made it into the yearbook, even though it is out of focus and washed out. I think that it was because there was a dearth of sports and hockey pictures. Even though it is blurry, I think that the player attempting a slapshot is Jim Nemish.
