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.
