  1. Amazing that someone took the time to scan these books and publish them on the Internet. I was student at the school in 1966-67 and it is great to have these resources. You have no idea.

    1. Did you ever find a copy of the65-66 and66-67 year books.I would love to be able to get my hands on one

      I was there from 65-67 in Grades 9+10 swaller@mymts.net

  2. Hi: I was a business teacher there from 61 -63 and only had 2 senior typing students and we did the typing for the yb’s of 62 and 63. Also, had 1 accounting student, Don…?, who ran them off on a manual Gestetner machine. That was all we did for the final term those terms.
    Great school right next to the officers mess where we had a beer and sandwich every day. The principal, an old Wing Commander went to the dinning room with his old buddies and rarely returned and Gordie MacKinnon took over for thee afternoon.

    1. Hi Barry ‘ er Mr. Cornish,
      I was in your bookkeeping class in 1963-64. That was the final year that the school was on the base. I was at the school from 1963-1965. I was in grade 13 in the new building.

  3. I was an American Air Force dependent, and went to two American high schools in France – Verdun, 1960 – 62, and Toul, 1962 – 63. Although we were “right down the road”, I was somehow never aware there were Canadian high school students in the area at that time. Pretty naive of me, I suppose. Reading about your history and browsing through the yearbooks, I realize we had so much in common, and I feel it is a real shame we never got together over there. I was aware of at least a couple of Canadian bases in northeast France, Marville and Grostenquin, but somehow it never crossed my mind that there would be kids just like me from those places. Both of my high schools have developed alumni groups that hold reunions periodically, and we’re (Toul) having one next week in Charleston, South Carolina, for all ex-students.

  4. Greetings Simon & Ron, if you happen to read this.

    Douglas Ord here. This site turned up in the course of an online search for Gordon MacKinnon, whom I last saw in 2001. Simon you’ll likely recall my playing Henry opposite your Mr. Antrobus in The Skin of Our Teeth in early 1967, & Ron my being a marginal member of the soccer team that won the Air Div championship in the fall of 1966 & for which you were goalkeeper. Regarding GNHS yearbooks, there were unfortunately none produced for the school years 1965-67. My understanding has been that this was a decision by the then-new principal Mr. O.B. Fasan. Perhaps it was budgetary, though my belief is that the students at the school would have been glad to pony up five or ten dollars toward a yearbook. Or perhaps too many of the previous year’s volunteer staff left, or Mr. Fasan just did not like yearbooks. Either way, given both the uniqueness of the experience & the time frame as the last two years of 1 ADHQ in France, the decision seems in retrospect to have been staggeringly short-sighted.

    By way of inadequate compensation I’d be happy to contribute a couple of my own photographs of the very enjoyable extra-curricular activities of the period, that were unique to Metz. But there doesn’t seem to be an upload button.
