Admit Slip

By the time the 1970's rolled around, the school introduced late slips or admit slips to get into class if you missed the bell. You had to go to the office to collect one from one of the secretaries. Here is one from the archives for Henry Kowalewski in 1973. I still love the fact that our school secretary was named Mrs. Dubie.

On Sunday Morning, You Have Sure Changed Since Yesterday

On a Sunday morning, I have my usual data dump, not only of OCHS images, but of images of Oshawa and environs in the 1970's when I was there.

The first pic is OCHS specific. It is school secretary Mrs. Dubie. I believe that her first name was her initial. I think that she was Kay Dubie, but I cannot be sure. She is pictured in the library, and this photo of her appeared in the 1974 yearbook.

I snapped the pic below at the corner of Thornton Road and Taunton Road. Thornton Road is the first crossroad going west of Stevenson Road on Rossland Road where the high school is located. I am sure that the gas bar is now torn down for a subdivision. This was a warm spring day shot of boys and their bicycles.

The final series of pictures were of the Oshawa City Hall. I shot these frames for my Urban Studies project on the coming of Regional Government.

Above is the south tower. At the time, the building was fairly new, although I understand that it is being renovated and added to.

The north tower is pictured above.
