I ran into Cyril Bennett (Hopper) and his wife Linda while out shopping in the hardware store. Cyril came up to me and said, "You're Pete, Pete Chalker, right?" I couldn't place him it being 47 years ago since I last saw him but we got into quite a lengthy chat. He's living in Port Blanford with his wife Linda(Harvey) and they were in town shopping and visiting friends. It was great to see Cyril again and I told him about our Feildian activities. I will be putting him on our e-mail list. His father, Mr. Bennett, as we knew him, will be 85 this month.
Cyril was a grade behind me at Feild. Does anyone remember anything about his stay at Feild, a story or two.?

1964 Football Champions
Boys take a look at this picture of the '64 football champions. All of the boys are much younger. I have all of their names there. What has happened to all of them? Where is Earl Johannson and Alex Yetman, for example? Have any of them passed to the other side and I do not mean St. Bon's? Please fill me in on the boys please.

Our Teachers
I remember sitting in Art class with Ish Humber. We would draw the most ornate floral designs and then refine our plans for the cutlery tray, the lamp or the magazine rack. I must have drawn my plans for the cutlery tray about 100 times before it was passed and I could get to choose the wood.
Do any of you guys have memories of Industrial Arts with Mr. Humber?

Looking For "Feildians"
Boys as you know I am in the process of scanning all of the Feildian Yearbooks in The Archive. They are being loaded into The Centre for Newfoundland Studies website at Memorial. If you want to read them go to, http://collections.mun.ca .It would be great if I had a complete set of our yearbooks but that is an unrealistic pipedream. However, if you have an Feildians I would be pleased to have them. If you would like to have them back just let me know and after I have scanned them I will return them to you.
