The co-ordinator of the 70’s reunion party for Malvern Collegiate Institute’s 100^th anniversary asked for people to scan their pictures from the yearbook, the Muse. It turns most either don’t have a scanner or their 1973 Muse has disappeared. As the weather has been very dull and rainy for the last couple of days, I scanned in the Grade 13 “grad”pages of my copy of the 1973 yearbook. (I only had to erase one mustache — and no blackened teeth! I must have been more mature than I thought. I sometimes wonder about my 18 year old son in Grade 13, perhaps I worry too much. I certainly have a completely different perspective being a parent now rather than the “young punk”I once might have been.)

I sent Madame Coordinator the following links to class pictures: 13A, 13B, 13C, 13D, 13E, and 13F. Looking at my classmates' pictures brings back memories: girls I had a crush on, my friends, those I loathed (not too many of those) and some people I have absolutely no recollection of. Of course I had more hair back then and zits would have been a problem sometimes. Unlike my more hirsute classmates, I don’t think I was shaving regularly until my 20’s. Yes, it will be interesting indeed next week to see what my classmates of thirty years ago look like now and what they are doing. Will I recognize them, will they recognize me?
