SHS Friends for Life!

"Lifers" from the Class of '59 and their guests met on May 5, 2023 for dinner at The Mount Royal Club in Montreal. Headmaster Mike Downey toasted these Old Boys, Selwyn friends since they began Grade 1 in 1951. Dinner was in the Shaughnessy Room to remember their late classmate Patrick Shaughnessy, and warm words were exchanged regarding departed classmates Peter Campbell, John Beament, and Timmy Gilbert. As Michel Guité said, "I did not guess it would feel as meaningful and rewarding to meet with friends from 70 years ago and to see our friendships are intact." Photo (L to R): Michel Guité, Michael Bastian, Vincent Prager, Lee Watchorn, Headmaster Mike Downey, Harry Bloomfield, Gerald Ross, and Roger Thomas.
