Class Photos
The Chapel Corridor in Gonzaga has photos of all the
graduating classes from 1976 onwards – nothing
earlier.
One of the archive’s objectives is to rectify
this omission, but there is a problem: we don’t
possess individual class photos prior to 1965. And
there is a problem even with those we do possess:
because of the number of students who left at the end
of Fifth Year, the final class photo doesn’t include
everyone who is listed as belonging to ‘the Class of
19-whatever’.
There are photos of large school groups. As
the school numbers increased, separate photos of the
Prep and Senior Schools became the norm. Members
of past years have generously donated many of these,
but in most cases with no regard for a future archivist
– so, without date or class identity, in the confident
expectation ‘well, of course they’ll recognise us!’.
The archive has done its best to identify the
photos which follow.
They belong broadly to your era.
They include you.
Please help by correcting the dates.
