Class of 1979 |
Ahhhh! Let me think! Most of it was a blur! (I wonder why! lol). One incident does come back to me quite often though, and that was the day in Auto class when Mr. Kohn chased Noel O'Brien (Hewit) around the class, needless to say it was a tense moment for Hewit, but god that was a laugh! Another that you, Kelly would remember was the day on our bus from Dorval that Josée Noel wore a hockey helmet on the bus! (I wonder why? LOL). There are numerous other memories... too many to list, all I can say is they were the best of times! Other friends of those days were, Bazz, McGoo, John Derry. I haven't had contact with anyone since '79 except Josée who is still in Dorval and keeps in touch from time to time. It would be great to hear from others of the Class of 1979!
Study, study, study! Something I didn't do and regret to this day!
Mr. Kohn
Interior Design class, and buying those little slices of cheese and a bun (deprived?)
Like everyone else my age, all I can say is, don't take it lightly, or you'll regret it!

Class of 79 must be the deadbeat class. We're the only one that hasn't had a reunion. Shall we try for 2004? That would be 25 years, folks. Hey Mike Ellement, how the hell are you?

All those crazy field trips with Drouin and Monbleau, Rimouski, Pohenegamook (those insane lumberjacks), and Calgary. Mr. Miller's english class.
As if the future grads are going to take any advice from us!

There are so many teachers and students that made life at PC bearable... okay sometimes fun too. I am thankful for the time they all took to make us better people. Then there is Mrs. Carol **LOL** In a class by yourself !!! A true icon in the school *BG*
Dancing with Coleen Sulivan at the school dances. What ever happened to her? Mrs. Olenocin's TD class, she was the only reason that I kept my sanity in those high school years.
Don't spend all that time wasting everyone's time like I did. Make something of your time in school. If I could only do it all again!
Eva Olenocin
Hanging with Lurch and Brian, shop class, whoopee cushions, provincial hockey '79 champs, jamming in a band.

McGill, McGill and then for a change, McGill.
Reading Asterix in the Library.
All my children go to private school, but I am convinced thtat the school has very little do with your success. Its who you are, your curiousity and who your friends are.
Mr. McNaughton (English)
One day you won't be 17, but 50. Make the best of what you have now. Learn, have fun, and make friends. The geeks in high school often are not the geeks in adulthood.

School plays, carnival week and graduation
Mr. Waters
Not too many fond memories of the school itself, but many of some of my close friends at the time.
If anyone tries to make you decide what career you will follow before you hit university, tell them to go away! So many changes will happen as you go along. What you like today, you may end up hating tomorrow.
Buns and those little cheese packages in the Cafeteria. My friends and Interior Design class. Cheerleading the football games and the smoking room. (Okay now I am feeling old)
What a great time of life. Enjoy, because the real world is just around the corner.

Hmmmm..fondest memory? Oh there are many (not to mention those I forget completely, they are likely the best). I guess my fondest memories are about the friendships that I had outside of school. Jenny Joron, Mike Jamieson, Marcia Mendes, Pat McNeil, Livingston Chen (my former dentist and prom date bahaha),..oh the list is long. If any of you are still around... e-mail me it would be good to hear from you!
Get through! It's worth effort.

SNAJORTS...what all the guys from football called the rugby team we played on 'cause we had it alllll backwards. Only attended senior year but made friends that have so far lasted a lifetime.
Painting a new year in the "banner". Coulda finished it sooner but 'Hig' had to pull out from
the bottom of the pyramid to find his car keys while Frank was finishing up. Almost became "Class of how Frank broke his head."
Big beers at the PB, Chez Paul and the 1300. Funniest bunch of people I've ever met. Great times.
If you have a good time, time does fly. Oh, and go to university, it's more of the same just more expensive.
Just don't call him "Jack"

To be honest, aside from the young ladies I dated while in high school, I have very few if any fond memories of P.C.H.S. I can put on a post-it-note the amount of valuable information I retained from my days in that prison. As it does today, the public school system lacks all the vital components necessary to stimulate young minds. I gained the most in life outside the school system. The huge consumption of illegal substances during my time there didn't help either I must add. Luckily I grew out of that habit when I left there and now live with my wife and two beautiful sons (Nicholas 10 and Douglas who is 8) just km's from P.C. I know this might be hard to believe but I have been with my wife for 20 years. I finally met the right one for me. Lucky lucky me!
Home school!
Greg Monpetit
Made many friendly acquaintances. Enjoyed my time. Was glad to leave. I did truly enjoy Architectural Drawing with Mrs. Olenecin. "Kam Own now Guyssss! Where haff you Beeeen !??!?
As I explain to my kids, it's the most important time of youth and life. Education and Friendship can last forever. Both are very important in the journey. Pretty Deep eh? How 'bout .... "Budget for some Windows in that place man!"

I personally would love to see someone who has the capabilities organize a reunion for our class of 1979, I have gone to my 2 brothers' previous reunions over the last few years and I really had a great time.

2 delicious muffins for 25 cents. My great and close friends who I shared many laughs with. The yearly Carnival festivities. Especially grade 11 when I got my braces off and hung around with a good bunch of interesting people who were active and plugged in.
Enjoy the great times. Get involved so you create special memories. Although high school sometimes feels like the be-all, end-all while you are in it, there is so much more to come, so try not to take it all too seriously.

Lunch time hangout under "class of banner". With the autoshop buddies. Ritchie, Lurch, Bazz, J. Abbot, and my favorite girls "Sandy" "Katie" and many more. The old cars we drove back then, my 71 Javelin, Dave's 68 Camaro, James' 66 Pontiac, can't remember who's blue 67 Mustang and the red 70 Chevelle.
Stay in school, do your time! at P.C. Enjoy it as much as you can. Study! I promise you won't regret it. Then come back here and repeat the message NEVER SURRENDER.

Enjoy your school years, they are memories you will cherish for life. The years you spend in school make you who you are as an adult so choose your friends well and enjoy!
Mr. Guliami
There are too many.. Also some that I wish that I could forget.. But I was young.... Really enjoyed my friends.. Kevin Rougeau, Mark Labonte, Paul Trudeau, etc... playing football and winning the championship in '77.. Lot's many wild parties, too much drinking though.
Enjoy it now. You can't go back.
