fleabag Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 I started as an instructor at 15, the photo is endearing to me, reminds me of my kids... If you don't mind I kept a copy. Thank you Paul :-) Linda, another photo from the same photo session (notice the flags in the back row on the one I posted that are not there in this one) Thanks for posting it. (Thank you too, Paul) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleabag Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Wow Fleabag - these are great. I've never seen them before. I'd take it these were around 1965 or earlier.That uniform changed in 1967... and then again in 1972. But the nuns wouldn't let our skirts show our knees. We use to have to kneel on the floor for measurement if there was any in question. Thanks for putting these up. Wendy, you are quite welcome! You are correct, they are all from 65 or earlier. Here is another you may enjoy, I see you joined in 65 so he might be just before your time there but you were probably in the cortage to the church that day in August 65, and at the church as he passed through the ranks for the last time. Father H. S. Hayes 1921-1965 He was the moderator of St. John's Girls from 1959 until retiring in Sept. 1964, he was proud of his girls, who won the Canadian National Championships in 1962, 63, 64 and 65.

lindap Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 (edited) Outside of the Busbys, I see absolutely nothing wrong. /Edit: Geez, i just realized how bad that "rolleyes" emoticon looked there. Thank you for noticing. "bigsmile" emoticon:-) It was a day we still speak of today. The performance was to be at St. Peter's Basilica, the venue changed that day. It was sunny and warm. The Swiss and Austrian choirs sang...horns up...we played our signature music as we had years before, the soft sound resounated, the people harmonious. It was a glorious day, words cannot describe. The piece was performed for the last time on stage in 1991...the music was Amazing Grace Alberta All Girls, August 17, 1977, Castel Gandolfo, Italy Edited January 18, 2010 by lindap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMG Father Hayes. Of course I know Father Hayes. He was the best. He was an exceptional man. He looks so young in this picture. Although my first year to march was in 1965 I actually joined in 64, but you had to go thru a year of training before marching. It was all so strict. How do you know Father Hayes? Is it okay if I share this picture with some people? Here's another pic of St. John's Girls 1967 or 68 I'm the flag on the left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace also still has that white Appleknocker uniform. It is in impeccable condition, and he sometimes brings it along to show off to the youngsters.
