Time for some Newman Nostalgia!
With the 1972 Marist College reunion approaching in October, we’ve been enjoying meeting with the organising committee!
Graeme Walsh is one of those committee members. He was at Marist College Junior School in Subiaco from 1964 to 1967, and at Marist College Senior School in Churchlands from 1968 until completing his Leaving in 1972. He’s given us some fabulous items for our Archives, including Marist College folders, photos, a sporting pennant and student work.
... but this morning he brought us two very special additions - prize books he received for ’Second Aggregate’ (coming second in the year) in Grade 4 Red, 1964; and in Grade 6 Blue, 1966. Moonshine Island and The Valleys of Silence.
Aren’t they gorgeous? They were well chosen - they look really exciting and would've been so appealing to the young boys receiving them! These two are particularly special, as the 1964 one was presented in the last year the school was known as St Joseph’s, and 1966 was the year after it became Marist College Junior School.
We’re delighted to have them, as this is the beginning of our Prize Book Collection!
