STREETSVILLE SECONDARY SCHOOL 2010…
WHERE have all the CHEERLEADERS gone?
On a similar note, where have the junior and senior FOOTBALL TEAMS gone??
And MOST IMPORTANTLY, where has the FREESTYLE WRESTLING TEAM gone??
The EFFEMINIZATION of the Canadian male continues…
Somehow, badminton just doesn't cut it for us OLD SCHOOL types.

I'M FOR smaller schools. Large schools were created to produce winning football teams. They're a mistake. A child has no sense of individuality or sense of importance in a school that large.

And Streetsville? Well, it was the just the right size for a high school.
Not all of them…but two of them.
I truly believe they were entirely unaware of the havoc their beauty wrought upon defenceless boys who before their arrival were quite content to play hockey, toss around a football or hoist weights.
THOSE YEARS are gone forever…for sure, but not the wonder of those years ~
Go Tigers, to the very end!

It would be later that I would discover female beauty came in many forms and not only the physical.
STREETSVILLE…on the run in 81!
MY YEARBOOKS are missing in action.
I snagged this photo, from a yearbook on display…it shows the inside cover of that yearbook, which was from my graduating year (Grade 13) .
The STUDENTS carve out SSS, which, of course, is short for Streetsville Secondary School!
This past Friday and Saturday I attended THE Streetsville Secondary School: 50th Anniversary Reunion to reminisce…to relive and to recapture visual memories of days gone by.
Had a great time.
Two of my three old girlfriends were there. Hey Nancy!. just missed you May, I think– And let's not talk about the other one. Met my former wrestling coach. And I posted three pictures in the 80s Decade room that got a strong response!
And nope, I am not in the above photo.
……for the Vickers Vimy. Even a Sopwith Camel showed up.
IT'S HARD to believe, but I did see a former high school teacher (Streetsville Secondary School) at this event.
Not right away……but later, when I was looking over my photos!
Ain't life strange~
