Scotch College 1975

Mates

It is a great shame that class photos were not taken each year - neither Scotch nor any of the students organised this (in contrast to the State school system where class photos were the norm).

Below are three photos of the few I have. At the left is Hal Walter, who lived nearby to Scotch. He liked car-design. In the middle is Anders McDonald, who I had some great times with at Cowes. And on the right is Peter Olorenshaw who was my best mate with from Form 1 onwards. We had fabulous holidays at his parent's Healesville farm (Geoff and Pam Olorenshaw).

Long hair was the fashion, and it was a continual challenge to get it as long as possible. The school rules were that hair could not contact the shirt collar. Geoff Portbury seemed to have the most luck at flouting this rule!
