Bill Weber filled in the why: “It was for initiation day. The senior class had a theme and there was an assembly and a stage performance. The theme was the gangster era.”
Maureen McVittie provided the date: “It’s the inside cover of the 1976 yearbook”
And we learned some of the names:
Teri Souter wrote: “Carole Hipwell, front and centre, beside Ken Moorehouse.”
Carole Hipwell added: “Rick Hawkins, Marg Cope, Todd Sargeant”
And SP Creates chimed in with: “Chris Mason, Greg Sharpe and Mr Henry is in the back right corner .. I forget his first name …very sad he is no longer with us …”
Thanks, all! If you know anyone else in the photo, add their names in the comments below.
