From the '71 yearbook

I recently came across my yearbook from the class of '71. It was certainly an interesting yearbook with everything in small letters (e.e. cummings was big that year) and no team photos for sports. Like our class, they were too cool to put seniors in alphabetical order, which now makes it hard to find anyone. And I'm sure you all remember the "screw you" scandal. But they did include some nice photos or our classmates which I have scanned. The quality isn't great, but if you don't have that yearbook, you might enjoy seeing these pics of us as Sophomores.

A few more photos

Here are a few more of Diane's pictures and even though I messed up the identity of some of the others I posted, I'm going to try again.



Here are Barbie Fournier and Libby Fournier on the Yaz outing - the girl I previously identified as Libby was actually Debbie Ouellette - Sorry Debbie.

The picture below includes Libby again, Linda Dupuis, and Judy Bishop and maybe Sue Richard back to.

Jump ahead a few years and here are some of our classmates at a Basketball sleepover.
Here are Cindy Conary and Cathy Dunphy. I can't quite name the other person in this photo. I think it is someone who who was just in school with us for a short time. Diane, can you help?
This photo has Fran Ellis and Cindy Conary. Between them is Cathy McAuliffe who graduated in '71, so this must have been during the 70-71 season. These were taken in the Winter's living room. I wasn't a part of this particular outing, but do remember at least one sleepover in this living room in our senior year. I don't think there was much sleeping going on either time.

I'm still looking for more pictures to add, so if you have some you want to share, please let me know.

Another Meeting

We met again today, and Libby, Diane, Gary, and Cathy and I went through all of the returned post cards and split them up to see if we could get better addresses. There are some that we just don't have any idea about and I'll list them here in the next day or so and hope that some of you can help us out with an address, or at least a last known whereabouts. I didn't take any pictures today, but Diane brought some and I have scanned some of them to share with you. These are all from school trips that the kids at St. Joseph's took.
I leave it to those of you who went on the trips to tell about them (though I can figure out that the colored photos are from Fort Knox). I am also not sure who everyone is, so please help me out
First up are Libby Fournier and Linda Dupuis with someone in the middle - my first guess is Judy Bishop, but I'm not really sure.
The other one from this trip is of James Tarr on a beach (with cool shades, no less). You guys were all dressed up, and some of the other photos show singing nuns, so what was this all about?
Below, you see several photos of the Fort Knox trip. There are others but they all seem to have Alan Nye or Libby Fournier in them, so I thought a sample would be enough :-) The first photo is of Ed Conroy and Mike Lizzotte. They look like they are getting ready to spray paint something. Grafitti??? Oh, maybe that's a flashlight that rather than a paint can. That makes more sense. Umm-m nice hat, Mike.



Then we have Barbie Fournier, Anne Desjardins, Libby Fournier, and Vicky Labelle, hanging out in one of the batteries. Then it's lunch time. Looks like Paul Comeau, Alan Nye, Barbie Fournier, Anne Desjardins, Cindy St. Louis, not sure who, and Libby Fournier.
Well, one more of Alan Nye, with Frank Nash this time. Looks like you all had a good time and got to go on lots of class trips. I remember that our 6th grade class at Herbert Gray went to Katahdin Iron Works with the 6th grade at Jefferson St., for our class trip. It rained at least part of the time, and we had to eat our lunches on the bus. I remember being really bored, though now I would really appreciate the history of the area that Mr. Piper (is that right?) shared with us.

Here's a picture that I had in my collection and this seems like a good time to share it. This was taken at a girl scout outing at Lacadie's camp at Pushaw.

I'm not sure who all of them are, but I think I know most of them. I'm guessing that the first one is Sally Whittier, then Judy Lacadie, Helen Burr, ?maybe Nancy Mallett, Nancy Grant, Sue Cyr, maybe Judy Sawyer, Betsy Huyett, Theresa Dupuis, Beth Lloyd, Patty Parady, Debbie Field, Cheryl Cyr and Betsy Klitch. Does anyone remember more about this trip? Did we camp out? I seem to recall that we did, but I might be confusing it with girls scout camp - Camp KW.

That's it for now. More to come, so stay tuned.
