1965 Class Picture

Special thanks (again) to Bill “Mole” Thomson and his brother Richard for this great picture. Having worked on Richard de Candole’s book, Toughest School in North America (buy worldwide on Amazon), I recognize many of the people on this list and in this picture, including Richard, maybe a McKay, and somebody named Jackson from Regina. Many of the boys Richard wrote about are here from the class of ’68.

This was the inside cover of the St. John’s 1966 Report.

Formed up in front of the school for their official photograph are the boys of St. John’s for the school year 1965 – 1966. Names are left to right.
