I dont remember the house names either. My home room was in the English department. I dont remember the seniors room at the top of the library stairs but then again I didnt spend much time in the library.

Hi John
I remember now, I also remember Mac Powell the drafting teacher, he fought in world war II in the trenches a little known fact, He once caught Joe Shields displaying his manhood on the overhead in Grade 11 Tech drafring, he walked in calmly, in character, and then totally out of character told Joe a joke, saying "Joe, you and whatever that was up on the projector remind me of the days in the trenches in WW II, when it is was so cold the men had to tie a string around it to find it it had shrunk so much..." The laughter could be heard on rednersville rd. I think, and well I'd never seen Joe so quiet and so red, that day my whole attitude towards Mr. Powell changed, some people just aren't what you think they are... he was a survivor and a decorated war hero. Jim Mitchell and I were chums in Grade 9 and 10...

The odour of Domtar. Brings back memories of my walks around town....the smell would waft to the east and hit the base. Jelly beans in the principal's office. I was there once after being in a fight with a bully on the bus. Trying to remember his name. I gave me real name to the driver; the other guy did not. Was called down to the office after homeroom and Mr. Reid was surprised to see me on a discipline matter. But I stuck up for some minor niners who were continually picked on by a guy in 12th grade...I was a year ahead as I recall. He jumped me as he followed me up the steps into the bus, even gouging my left eye as I fired knuckle sandwiches his way (good thing I was a jock - this guy hung out in the area of the ghetto gang, who would put up numbers to rate the girls walking by (near art room). The fight was over quickly....I had the upper hand being above him as he walked up. And he was bigger than me...I believe he got the old three-day suspension. Memories from the 70s. I hated my 12th grade beige suit I wore to grad. From Sears@ Polyester!
Remember turning 18 and having caps competition with Larry Arsenault, Pierre Bedard....filling up on beer as those guys were good. The following year, had to get a new age of majority card as the drinking age went up to 19.
Remember getting liquor at the old LCBC....bottles were not the shelf like they are today. You'd fill out a piece of paper and they'd bring you your booze based on a code.
A 2-4 cost? Not like today. Molson X and Blue were the two beers of choice. Remember Cherry Whiskey and 7-Up? Not Cherry Brandy, as some guys would mistake and purchase before the house parties.
Dances - Stairway to Heaven often the last song. Squeezing the butt of your dance partner.
I'm getting good ideas for column material from thinking back to our teen days.

Omg Cherry Whiskey, I havent seen that stuff in years. I remember getting booze and hoping they never asked for ID. The age of majority card was a great idea if you were of age...lol.I remember getting drunk at Bayside dances and hoping one of the teachers who were chaperoning didnt find out and turf you out. Oh the days of high school and stupidity. Some of us do grow up eventually.

That's too funny. My sole year at Bayside 73-74, I was in Trent house 6. My girlfriend Cathy was over in 7. I also lived across the street from the Barrs', Sue and I hung out together. We lived on the street, 1st right past the drive-in. I don't think it had a name, that's just where it was. I went through Bayside elementary and into high school with a lot of the names that are coming up but when I left they were still just gangly young teens!

Yup, Andrews were just about across the street from us, Barrs kitty corner, the McCallisters (sp?) were next door, and when Sandra Christians family moved in we used to go and sit on their fence and watch the movies. We used to hang around Aziz's (again spelling?) store and a couple of the brothers there. I remember the Sullivans and somewhere in that same block I think were a family called Simms? Turned out I was a complete sports duff when I hit high school so never made a team!

The store is still there but I'm not sure if the Aziz's still own it... I knew a Danny Simms, he lived in Sunny Creek Estates. I worked for a little bit in the office there with Sandy Christians dad.

The store was the hang out point for all the teens from the Bayside(White's Road) area.. At one time all the family worked in the store. It was great they would sell us underagers cigarettes without a blink. I think its cos most of us hung around at their house.Mrs. Aziz made the best desserts.

They built a small airport in the trailer park (Sunny Creek Estates). It was supposed to be for the quick trips to the bigger airports in Toronto and Ottawa. Im not sure if it is still used, altho the building is still there. Imagine a airport in the sleepy little burg of Bayside.

Yes John there was a seniors lounge on the second floor. I was there at the same time you were. I can remember the algebra teacher (name escapes me at the moment) being more than 15 minutes late and the entire grade 13 class walking out and going to that lounge. I believe we left a note on the board for him, but he had so little interest in teaching us, that he never came and got us or ever mentioned the event.
