7/1/2019 0 Comments Old Staff, New StoriesOver the years we have posted a number of photos of old boys getting together to celebrate a bit of College spirit, so it is fun to have a pic of a group of old (!?) staff members doing the same.
There are a few stories that could be told around that table and for context this was a Friday afternoon while the rest of us where still hard at it. From left to right - Graham Blanks, Ross MacNicol, Peter Costello, Russell Cleaver, Graeme Mustchin and Neil Imrie - with Leigh Hucker holding the camera.

6/13/2019 1 Comment Somethings Dont' ChangeThis image from the early 1960's of FDMC students highlights how little somethings have changed in 60 years. If you changed the uniforms and added colour to the photo it could have been taken last week.
We would like to know if you can identify anyone in this picture - just leave a comment. 6/4/2019 0 Comments A Good Old Catch Up

5/23/2019 0 Comments Old PhotosIf you are coming along to the 60th Saturday (and we hope you are), bring your phone/camera as we will have a lot of old photos and magazines available in the College library for you to peruse. A great chance to get a copy of an old photo that proves how young you once were - just like these fellas from 1961!

The students have no problem in front of a camera so we look forward to seeing them on our screens soon.

Here is a shot of the corresponding game in 2009 - will be interesting to see how many are able to back up 10 years later.
5/10/2019 0 Comments Our Changing StaffHow things have changed! The first staff photo to appear in a College magazine was in 1968 when the student roll was 353, this year's staff photo is just a little bit more populated for a student roll of 785.
