Way to go,  Class of ‘69

We came, we gave a cheer,
And last night at the House Party (yup, it’s been 50 years!)
we definitely didn’t falter all night!
(well, at least not until 9:30 or so!)

SO  MUCH  FUN!

Thanks everyone, for making it such a great night.
Vic High R & B Band (outstanding!)

Adelle, Eric, Carolyn & the gang who made videos and playlists and flowers and posters and set up and cleaned up and, and, and…(Mike Beaulac & Mel Klassen, you rock!)

Ron Dworski for finally revealing the whereabouts of the 1969 Totems’ Championship Game Ball all these years…or did he?

Roger Skillings from the VHS alumni (and his insanely talented GREAT-nephew on vocals with the band)

Ontario and California, for releasing Marnie Maguire and Mary Ann Proceviat from their clutches so they could come HOME…at least for a few days.  Ah, Lotusland…

Oh and the 2019 Totems, for leading everyone on tours of the school.  (were they bowing down, as they should! to the 1969 Totems on their tours?)

And finally, to Doug Puritch.  We finally drew your name!  Your prize is in the mail.

Eric Earl has created a VHS69 Google drive, so hopefully anybody with the link can upload stuff. He says:  I have an EVENT folder there –  pictures and a video of Linda talking to the crowd. You can upload a whole folder from your computer if you have writeable access. Give it a shot!  Did anybody record the band which I could use for a video of photos, etc?   Here’s the link:

Thanks, Eric.  You’re the best.  Email lindabakercreates@gmail.com  if you want to know more.  Or ericearl@shaw.ca .
