I attended Thomson in the first four years of its existence. I have fond memories of the Mikado & The Pirates of Penzance, Dick Jolliffe & Stan Farrow. Living in St. John’s, Newfoundland, I regret not being able to attend reunions. However, living on the Rock at least enabled me to meet the charming Mrs. Edith Stevenson, the widow of our first principal. Then in her 90s, she told me that she still did push-ups every morning! What a remarkable woman!

Sorry I’m just finding out now about the anniversary that was held. I moved to the Barrie area 20 years ago. My how time flies! Best wishes to all.

I attended David & Mary in the 60′s but moved away from Toronto before grade 12. I would have loved to attend but didn’t learn of the event until afterwards

I am saddened to hear of the proposed demolition – so many memories …

I too wish the 60′s turnout had been better. Seeing my gym teacher again after almost fifty years brought back many good memories. It all seems like yesterday.

Like Ray I was a bit saddened by the turnout from the 60s but I cherish the memories from meeting each and every one of the 16 students and 4 staff members that I met from that era (circa 59). I am pleased that this opportunity presented itself. Thank you to the Organizing Committee, the Principal, the staff, the students and my fellow attendees for making the day so exceptional.
