Student Assembly at Kangaroo Court - 2

Pick your classmates out of the crowd. I see Terry Hopkins in the black robe. I notice Candace Knox. Joe Pender is slightly visible. Leave comments with identification.

Terry Hopkins at Kangaroo Court

As previously iterated what was done to us and what we did to others at initiation time would not fly in these politically correct times. Degradation, torture and humiliation are out of style.

However, back in the day, it was great fun as long as you were not on the receiving end. Here is Terry Hopkins, as an "officer" of the kangaroo court, dressed in a "borrowed" altar boy cassock, reading an edict from the "court". Terry's grandmother taught me in Grade 2 at St. Joseph's School.

In the crowd, standing second from right in the glasses and polka dot tie, is Italo Labignan, who became a television fishing show host.


Terry's brother Larry Hopkins was in my brother's class at OCHS, and he was on the Oshawa Generals Dream Team of 1972, and went to the NHL, played a couple of games for the Toronto Maple Leafs and then went to the Winnipeg Jets.
