AS the leaves start to
fall and the days get
shorter, we may think
about our schooi days,
when we were both
excited and maybe a lit-
tle anxious about going
back to school.

Graduates of North Van
High may also remember
those days, but in a different
way this year.
‘1998 is the 50th anniver-
sary for many graduates of
North Vancouver's first high
school.
Although the building was
torn down in 1979 to make
~ way for the new provincial
court house and the Mickey

~ McDougall rec centre, many
graduates have pleasant mem-
ories of their days ar the
school.

‘Pictures of the school can
be seen at the North
Vancouver museum.
