Do you have any memories of your high school years? Tell us!

My only year at NDHS was '63-'64 for grade 10. It was wonderful! Loved it - just like 'Happy Days'.

My profile should be in the 1966 grad. year.

I do recall what we thought would be a funny prank. Our gr. 10 math class was in a chemistry lab, and our teacher Mrs. Zavitz, I do believe, was always a few minutes late. Why not turn on all the gas valves! Little did we know the possible consequences, but we did mange to evacuate that wing of the school.
