Glenforest Secondary School

Ok Barb I'll bring to the 50th and hope you'll be there and sign it for me.

As far as a reunion before the 2019 date, I'm game but not the person to drive it, but will be glad to help.

Does anybody have the e-mail address for Louie Bartolomucci? I came across an old photo that he would be interested in.

I am sorry i missed the reunion. The photos look like it was a great success.
I will be there for the 50th for sure!
It was amazing to see the photos of Mr Forde.

After years of collecting photographs I am finally getting around to sorting through them. I have posted some under my profile and will post more later. First off are some pictures of Mr. MaCleary's Geography field trip to New York City in 1972.

I apologize for the quality and that they are in black & white. If anyone out there has some old pictures please scan them and post them before we are too old to remember who is in the picture.

I see my buddy Ray Tibando in the Football team photo and I think Mr. Read, will look harder to see if any faces ring a bell.

Thanks for posting them Dave!

Paul I know that I have more kicking around somewhere. I was just e-mail chatting with Ray Tibando and we were looking at names as well. Some I can recall as if it was yesterday (#88 is Terry Graham) and of course Mr McCleary, Mr Reid & Mr Reider, Dan Bruce Dan Loreti etc. Others I look at and just draw a blank. Have to find my yearbook in the black hole that is called a crawl space in my house.

And once again I have unearthed some more pictures from the early days of Glenforest & the Public schools that we would have gone to. Here are two more, 1) The old Annex 2) Forest Glen Public. Have a look because you are either in them or know someone who is. They are posted on my profile.

Does anyone out there know how to contact Sue Hayward or Jay Bouskill?

For those that are in any of the photos that I have posted I'm not sure what quality you get when you try to download them. If you want better quality just e-mail me at ddscott@sympatico.ca and give me your e-mail address and I will e-mail them to you in either JPEG or BMP formt.

And please if you can help identify some of the people it would be appreciated. Also I encourage all of you that have old pics to dig them out and post them before we all need the Hubble Telescope to be able to view them.

Well here I go again having cleaned up some clutter in the laundry room where I found a photo album. They are pretty much sports related but everyone from the early days should know somebody in them.

I have sent out a number of e-mails to individuals that I do know how to contact but there are still many that I either can't reach or I can't recall their names. Old age will do that so I am told.

If you would like a scan from the original B & W picture just e-mail me at ddscott@sympatico.ca

They have brought back a lot of memories of good times for me and I hope they will do the same for you.

Thanks for the kind wishes. I find it very exciting that I'm still adding people to this site every week. You folks are obviously doing a great job of continuing to spread the word. The school will be packed with alumni by the time we get to the 50th reunion!

Barbara how are you making out with the funds for the new sign?

Having pretty much run out of photographs I have turned to another idea. I know that there are many out there that either did not buy a Yearbook or over the years it has been damaged or lost. As well the only Athletics pictures that I posted were the boys (Well we were boys) sports. It would be an injustice to leave out the girls athletics because they also played an important role in school life.

A special thought for one girl who dominated the face of Girl's Athletics and is in so many photos, Debbie Sluce. Rest in Peace Deb, I will always remember how you used to kick my butt in 21 those many days in the gym.
Honourable mention to Cheryl Mangolt wherever she may be.

And can you remember everyone in your Homeroom Class? Well you can now as I have posted the class pictures from the 1969 - 170 school year.

Perhaps I will continue and do the next two years. We'll see.

I too completely agree with the comments made by Kathy Pidgeon & Kathleen McCartney. I just wish that more people from the early days had attended. Mind you the turnout was more than could be expected.

There has to be a way to have another one within the next 5 years as by that time the graduating classes from the very first Grade 9 classes should be collecting Canada Pension, never mind that us "First Day" people will be counting the Old Age Supplement.

For Kathleen you appear in some of the scans I just posted.

It is funny now to look at the signatures you collected in your yearbook back then. With that in mind Mrs. Cameron would you ask Randy ( I would say your "Better Half but that is obviously you) who Hagis McBagpipe is?

Hi all. I realize that I should have posted a note sooner, but I really had not made my way around this site before. I had checked the alumni, but that was basically it.
It's funny, but I had a hard time remembering everyone. Some faces were so familiar, yet others seem to be people I did not know.
I was so pleased to see Mr Ford there.He brought back all the memories for me, from Applewood S.S, and then of course, GFSS.There were a few teachers I would have liked to have seen, for instance, Sue Coed. I would love to know what she is doing now in her retirement. She was very special to me, and was such a tremendous role model as well.
Malcolm, if you are out there, would you e-mail me please, cause I'm on a new computer, and I am renewing all my addresses as they come in. I am so illiterate with this stupid box with keys, I think I need to go back to school and learn how to use the damn thing.Well take care everyone, and hopefully we can have another reunion of sorts, before the 50th, when we can still get around and see, and walk.

I feel like a matchmaker! Now I have to find one for myself! :) Congratulations. We expect the wedding party to be dressed in Glenforest colours.

To Paul regarding inquiry about the sign...

Fundraising is slow. Maybe the alumni should think about organizing a fundraising event. ;)
