Various Teachers ~1970's

Here's a bunch of teacher pics
Anna Catalano was my math teacher in Grade 10, I think. She is pictured above at her desk.


In the above pic, Miss Catalano helps a student in math class.

New Pottery Kiln 1973

Dan Dalby and Sister Conrad Lauber are pictured with the new pottery kiln for the art classes. The year was 1973.

Card Playing

In all of my negatives, I am amazed at how many shots that I have of students playing cards throughout my high school years. It seems that cards were the timewasters instead of the internet now. I recognize some of the people in this pic, because there is another one in the same sequence. People that I can identify include Sharon Clark, Dan Dalby and Mary Coll.

It must have been near Christmas time or holiday time when much wasn't going on in the scholastics department. The clock on the wall says that it is seven minutes after ten in the morning.

Dan Dalby Playing Cards

I am amazed at the number of pictures that I have of students playing cards throughout all of the years. Here Dan Dalby, Mary Coll (back to camera) and Sharon ... um ... I think that it is Sharon Clark play a game. There is a fourth person off to the right that didn't make the picture.

Horsing Around

Tony Seaver and Dan Dalby were fooling around in the hallway to the change rooms near the gym. I tried to catch the action, but at the last minute Dan fell backwards throwing the whole pic out of focus.

Dan Dalby and Yours Truly

Blair Morris taught Urban Studies. One chapter was on dying downtown areas. Another was on traffic patterns. One day, it was a cold winter day, the entire class had to go downtown and count traffic. We had various positions around the city. Dan Dalby and yours truly got the location of the old Canadian Tire, near the automotive museum on Simcoe Street South, opposite the McLaughlin Bandshell and Memorial Park.

It was boring. It was cold. The only thing that I remember was that what we did with the traffic figures was mildly interesting. Collecting the data wasn't.

Dan was cool. I was a total nerd, dressed in a suit, a trench coat and a tie. I make up for it these days though in the tropics. I go to Board of Directors meetings in sandals, shorts and a cotton yoga shirt.

(If one word characterises the 1970's -- it is HAIR !!)
