1979 The Dastardly Deeds of Desperate Desmond

This play was the featured item in "An Evening of Music and Theatre" which was the very first of Gorokan High's many major theatrical productions.  The school started to develop a reputation for performing arts thanks to the dedication of a few select staff members.

I'll reproduce the programme here in the blog as jpeg images.  Don't forget - to get a larger image of the picture you can click on the image.  To download it, right-click on the image and choose "Save Target As".  To get an even larger image of the pages, right-click the image and choose "Open in New Window or Tab".  When the image opens in a new window or tab it will be scaled to fit into the window, however you can click the image and it will appear full size and you can scroll around in it for the absolute best visibility.

In the playground looking back toward the outdoor basketball court.

In this photo:  Dino Legovich, Carolyn Evans, Donna Parrish, Lori McLeod, Scott Goddard.

This photo was part of a Christmas Card sent out with school scenes to significant members of the P&C association.  This was sent to my parents, Frank & Joy Deane to thank them for their efforts during the year.  I'd love to see if there are any others of these still around as they were shot by Mr Ken Page's photography classes and there were quite a few of them produced, apparently.

Misc Photo 1979 Sonia Ingrid Brian

Shot in the main quadrangle with stairwell, the admin block and library as background.  There is currently a covered-outdoor-learning-area(cola) to the right of this image, believe it or not.

In this photo:  Sonia McElhinney (nee Mitchell), Ingrid Champion and Brian Judge

Thanks to Sonia for this one - and is it 1979 or 1980, I wonder??
