Grade 9 Girls Basketball 1973

Pictured above is Grade 9 girls basketball in 1973. The coaches are Kathy Seaver on the left and Carolyn Corrigan on the right. In between is a bunch of minor niners. I'm sure that someone will be along to fill in the names. .... please ...

Carolyn Corrigan

A vignette portrait of Carolyn Corrigan done in the OCHS photo club lab as part of our learning-techniques activities.

Graduation Program - 1974

This program from 1974 was in my memorabilia. I was already at University, but I came back to Oshawa for a couple of awards.

The valedictory address was delivered by Anne McNeely. The Master of Ceremonies was Donald Hamlyn. Monsignor Dwyer presented the Diplomas, the prayer was by Rev. John Markle, and Mr. Angus Dixon gave the address to the graduates.

After the ceremony, the following clipping appeared in the Oshawa Times:

Girls in the Foyer

Tell Me on a Sunday Memories

Another Sunday morning and another grab bag of memories, of OCHS, the 1970's, memorabilia, Oshawa and stuff. I start with with another block of classmates of mine:

Top row: Kathie Andrews (R.I.P.), yours truly, Mike Bukoski,

Center Row: David Cooper, Carolyn Corrigan, Paul Coros,

Bottom Row: Joan Downey, George Dragota, Barb Finley

The above political cartoon is a real sign of the times back then. To me it accurately depicts the divide between the establishment and the beat generation or the youth. I did some googling to try and identify the Trudeau cabinet minister from 1973 doling out the largesse to the hippies, but to no avail yet. (Update: Pictured above, I believe is Secretary of State Gerard Pelletier of the Trudeau cabinet, responsible for the OFY program).

Pictured above is a bicycle speedometer from one of my bikes from the high school era.

Everyone remembers giving these for Christmas and Valentine's Day. Black Magic was made by Rowntree Mackintosh, a British company selling in the Commonwealth as well.

This funky box was in the garage, so I photographed it for posterity. Check out the depiction of the TV in the drawing at the upper right.

I snapped the above frame in the Eatons Department Store at the Oshawa Center. I worked there in the camera department all through my high school years.

(Interestingly enough, I think that I can make out the word Sears in the upper right. Yet I know for a fact that this is Eatons because I have a whole series of pics of my Eatons co-workers with the same background as above).

I believe that the above is a program from the re-dedication of the school from OCHS to Paul Dwyer High School in 1976.

Carolyn Corrigan Grade 11

I snapped this picture of Carolyn Corrigan on a non-uniform day at school when we both were in Grade 11.

Flag Football

High School Foyer

I can't remember what we were waiting for in the foyer of the high school, but this was my Grade 13 class. Left to right Victor Suppan (checked pants), Bob Hickey (back to camera), Marc Adams, Carolyn Corrigan (face partially hidden), Nicole Gaboury (sideways away from camera), Sue Vitali, unknown, unknown, Suzanne Nadon (far right).

John Coleman and Carolyn Corrigan

I shot an entire series of frames in the classrooms, and this one comes from Geography class, where the students were working independently when Blair Morris was absent. Shown is Carolyn Corrigan and John Coleman behind her.

Carloyn Corrigan Mid-Blink

The camera catches Carolyn Corrigan in mid-blink in the classroom.

Junior Girls Sports Team -- Volleyball (I think)

Here Pat O'Brien, the coach of this junior girls team sits surrounded on the gym floor. I am almost certain that this is the volleyball team, but my notes are long gone.

The only students that I can identify are in the back row: Carolyn Corrigan and Lynn Belton.

Edit: Thanks to the reader who left the following comment: The girl on the bottom right of the photo is Linda Judovalkis

Here is the canonical list of names. Back row: Carolyn Corrigan, Pat Duignan, Rayna King, Patti O'Brien, Pat McLaughlin, Joan Taylor, Lynn Belton (coach). Front Row: Judy Greenaway, Kim Gedge, Lisa John, Ita Kelly, Linda Judovalkis. This is in fact Grade 9 girls volleyball.

Carolyn On The Bus
