Want to add more names to the photgraphs?
I welcome your additions to the 1956 photo on this site. It would help
me greatly if when sending me your additions you could put them in the
format that I can cut 'n paste easily.
e.g
Picture 5
5B1 Tony Hare
5B3 Peter Thompson
5B8 David Deacon
5B13 Michael Claridge
Note that this site started as just one photograph taken in 1956, this
being one of the few relics from my last year at RGS.
Many of you have sent in identifications for the years I have subsequently
added but you will understand that I can do without the extra effort in
annotating these other photos.
If anyone would like to start their own site for any of the photos for
the other years I will be pleased to supply them with copies of the original
files.

From Geoff Pask (08nov07)
I was recently surfing on the RGS website which I done several times during
the past few months, and, for the first time, I located your website pertaining
to "The Old Boys" which I have now reviewed and read in great detail.I
would like to congratulate you for your creativity and for a job well done.
Let me introduce myself to you. My name is Geoffrey A. Pask (Geoff), born in
Beaconsfield and I was a student at the RGS from 1944 until 1949. I emigrated
to Canada in 1957 and currently live in Cornwall, Ontario which is situated
on the River St. Lawrence, approximately 60 miles west of Montreal and 60 mile
south of Ottawa.
I was very pleased to find myself appearing in 2 of the school photographs and
listed in 3 of the Greybooks. Details of all this is as follows.
School Photo from 1947. I believe my designation here would be "E14"
as I appear in the 4th row up and am the 14th student starting from the extreme
left.
School Photo from 1949. I appear in Picture G (not designated as such, but the
last segment on extreme right) in the top row and am the 12th student in from
the extreme right.
Note: I still possess prints of these photos which I obtained at the time.
Grey Book for 1946. - Listed under Form 1Va
Grey Book for 1947 - Listed under Form Va
Grey Book for 1948 - Listed under Form Vuc
I noticed that you have a section captioned "What was your favourite
story?". I recall that during a geography lesson with "Sam" Morgan,
we were studying North America and/or Canada and we learned that Montreal was
considered the snowiest city in the world. Somehow, this fact has stayed in
my mind all these years. Little did I know then that I was destined to spend
40 years of my life (1962 - 2002) living and working on the Island of Montreal.(
The city of Montreal
is a part of the island of Montreal. Yes, we still get a lot of snow now but
it seems to be less now than that of 40 tears ago
Finally, I would like to mention that I possess a copy of the original (prospectus
?) booklet which I received prior to starting at the RGS in 1944. I am mentioning
this as I found no reference to it n your website and wonder if you are aware
of its existence. This booklet is undated but outlines the origin and history
of the school, together with the rules and regulations, dress code, school hours,
homework requirements and several other details.etc..and covers fairly well
all the information that a new student needed to know. It has a grey cover,
contains 11 pages, of which 2 are blank.If you would be interested in obtaining
a copy of this, I would be very pleased to provide this to you.
Yours very truly,
Geoff Pask.
