-My brother Jack Gudgeon third from the right, back row
-he was a great math teacher 👨‍🏫
-He was the BEST Math teacher! We were all scared of him until we had him in grade 8 and thought he was so cool!😎
-did your brother teach in Malton at one point? I'm sure I remember my cousin saying he had him for a teacher there.
- he truly was the best! Probably why I love math to this day! Hard to make him crack a smile...but such satisfaction when you did!
-No he didn't. Just Georgetown
- Jack taught me at Centennial and then our son in High School. Now he lives across the street from my Mom. 😀
-Had Mr Gudgeon for Grade 8 math - and Mr Dickson for Grade 6 math. Both were excellent teachers. Funny that I can’t remember who I had for Grade 7. Just remember that the pod classes were not good for students who were easily distracted. Wonder if they installed walls since then...
-Mr. Elliott top center to the left
-I loved him. Such a kind man.
-Mrs . P Ball , and Mrs Murray, MR.Atikinson

-Doris Brocke Its about all I remember from Georgetown . I didn't recognize my own home on Duncan Drive when I took my daughter out there in 2012 . I knew it was our home because of the school next door . Didn't recognize it either . And Hungry Hallow but I have a scar on my knee to remember where and how I got it in Hungry Hallow . Even my dad and now moms plot in the cemetary because the tree was gone . 😔
- I left centennial in '69
-Mrs Ball best math teacher ever!( sorry mrs kewley)
-Mr Gudgeon best math teacher. Lol
-I see my Dad David McNally
-I see my Dad too-- Don Grigg
5
- I do too!! We must have the same Dad!! Haha
-Wasn't his saying something about a 50/50 deal ?
-Yes-- those words are on his tombstone too
- Excellent. I certainly paid attention in his class. He was an amazing teacher. Every lesson was interesting and challenging. He must have been a great Dad I am sure.
-I still live in Georgetown and to this day I have my Dad's old students coming up to me and telling me that they remember Mr. Grigg... "It's a 50/50 deal!!" , after all these years. And yes ....he asked to have that saying inscribed on his tombstone. 
I miss him.... 😕
-Your dad was a fine influence on almost everyone, but “the straw that broke the camels back “ stuck with me to this day. He was a blessing to the open mind.
-I had to get glasses because your Dad turned me in. I kept squinting at the board. 😍
- LOL
-That is probably three times as many teachers as when I attended.
-Oh, many moons ago!
- My Dad, Don Grigg use to love teaching history! 
He enjoyed teaching his students and took his job seriously. He was my history teacher too!
- I am pretty sure you were in my class with him.
-An excellent teacher he was indeed.
-Randy lots of fun sitting at those big round tables in the “pods” giggling....
-He was one of my fav teachers!! :)
- Mrs. Ball, Mr. Grigg
- I remember Mr Otto!
-Mr. Weedmark wasn't he the music teacher .
-I remember learning the recorder and he picked me for the alto recorder because I had really long fingers to reach the holes! Lol
-Is be still around Randy
-I have no idea Sharon but i am sure someone on here will.
-he was a really good music teacher, but he was very abusive and his actions still affect me today.
- I am pretty sure there were no participation awards in his music class. Only two classes I was quiet in. Music and French. 
Maybe if I make myself really small they won't notice I am here. Hated music class and I am pretty sure it wasn't just me.
- remember Mr. Weedmark having a really short fuse and being very loud when he got cross. Yes he was a bit scary.
-I had an ulcer from him. True story. I had to drink something to coat my stomach before I ate. He was a yeller. He put some amazing choirs together tho. But I back Sharon.
- agree with you. He was loud
- Pretty lucky to have attended for three years. It was a great school with mostly great teachers. Everyone usually seemed to be having a pretty good time most days, students and teachers. Very little drama in those days. The odd student backed threw a window and everyone fell into line pretty quickly.
- Mr. Chatten the principal is my dad 😊😊
- I liked your dad nice man.
-He had the BEST cheers and loudest voice at the hockey arena!!🤣
- Beth Murray.. I saw you right away 😉
-45 years ago. We were a young bunch of teachers!
-omg...love this...Mrs. Tayor, Mrs Meirsa, Mr. Chatten, Mr. Hall, Mr. Weedmark, Mr. Otto, Mr. Gudgeon...xo many great teachers
- haha LOVED Mr. Gudgeon! He was my ultimate favourite Math teacher (probably why I still love math) every time I put up my hand he looked at the ceiling! 🤣
-This group of people influenced me very much. Very impressionable years middle school.
-Jimmy Hall...you looked like you were up to no good with that grin on that photo ! 😀
-that’s what I thought too!!! Jim Hall!!
--must have been thinking about Patty at the time, my friend ! :)
-Mrs Ball and Mr. Gudgeon

- Jim Atkinson look at those sideburns!!!! 😎
-Mrs. Ball, Mr. Hall, Mr. McNally, Mr. Hagar, Mrs. McCausland RIP, Mr.Grigg, Mr. Atkinson, Mr. Dixon....Mrs.Cowan, that's all I can recall.
- That was such a sad day when I heard the news we lost Mrs. McCausland. :(
-it was. She was my favourite teacher throughout my youth.
- I had already left the school when I heard the news. I really enjoyed her class and still have memories of the recipes, the sewing projects and other things she taught us. May she rest in peace. Gone too soon.
- she inspired me to continue to make sewing items which I now sell. And yes, gone too soon. That was a very sad day for me.
-Wow. I'm a sewer too... what sort of things are you selling?
-That was a great school “ I see my Grade 7 Home Room Teacher “ Big Dave Hagar front and centre with the purple shirt “ I remember I threw a rolled up piece of foolscap paper up to his desk and it bounced off the rim and he told me to pick it up and I proceeded to tell him to F off anyways not a good idea ‘ down to Skinheads office and he is giving me the strap I’m not kidding you Dave was a big Dude and he was coming off the ground on every swing I wouldn’t cry so he kept going finally I caved after 14 swings “ I kid you not I had planters warts on my palm so I’m thinking this will never happen HB Skinhead covers my palms and Big Dave proceeds to hit my lower palm and thumbs they were black and blue for 6 Months Dave had to have been 375- 400 pounds and I can still see him coming 2-3 inches off the ground on every swing God Rest His Soul ‘ I ran into him years later in a Bar in Manning Northern Alberta circa 1977 I was walking up to the Bartender around Midnight and he says Vern McLaughlin I couldn’t believe my eyes he cashed my cheque at the bar and I bougHt a case of off sale Beer to take with me we reminisced about our times in Centennial School he was the manager and Bartender anyways I was working on the Oil rigs later on again that year and stopped in to the Bar to say hello only to find out that Dave had joined the Pipelines and was Stringing Pipe a job I had also done as well very dangerous and you needed split second timing and great hand eye coordination any ways I was told Dave was up on the back of a 40 ft flat deck trailer and was stringing pipe which consisted of a long rope hook to a Big Boom and a big hook claw year you stab into the pipe it’s all done really fast and timing has to be spot on anyways the 48 inch pipe somehow shifted and came loose Dave Jumped off the flat bed and was Crushed by the falling Pipe as it rained down like I said I’ve done it and you have to be quick as a Cat with reflexes and hand eye coordination it’s a ballet to watch but Life and Death if there’s a slippup unfortunately Dave wasn’t able to get out of the way - He was A Great Guy who went too soon RIP MR Hagar 😇🙏

-I remember going to his shop for scout meetings of some kind...Riteway autobody? I think it’s still there...
- I had forgotten the name of his body shop until you mentioned it. He took us to his shop a few times for occasional scout expeditions. One time we built an igloo out of snow blocks behind the shop. I worked for John for a few weeks in the summer of 1973 when he oversaw Masson’s body shop. I’ll always appreciate his mentorship.

-Early to mid 50s judging by the cars.
-Remember the bake shop in the second little building on the left
- Is that Sykes bakery on the left ?
-Was Sykes not the one in the corner of the Legion building?
-I thought so, and in later years it was on the Main Street.
-THE first little one was a taxie shop JACK MORROW ran it
-I REMEMBER LIVINGSTONE had the bake shop
-Yes they did Bud.
-TALLEST on the right had a light bulb that went on when some one called the cops/cops never had radios they would see the light on and then go to the station on the lower floor
- Looks like the fifties !!
- I remember the taxi office being in the first little building. Just barely. I was very small when we would take the taxi home after a day downtown. So I would say late 50s or so
-Fred Maveals White Rose Garage on right
-Yes Livingstons (was it called the Scottish bakery) ? Next to the Taxi place. Downstairs in the next brick building (at the side) the best Easter decorated chocolate eggs and Easter bunnies. Caderos ? 
And Silvers. Yaaaaa.
- Livingston Bakery made the best icing on birthday cakes EVER.
-I love the cars and of course the whole picture.
-Also in Cadero's Building was a Pet Shop at one time & Huffy's Barber Shop. He did make the Best Easter Chocolates Gloria.
-my dad took over huffys barber shop in 1960
-we lived there in the 50[s. Huffy boarded with us for a bit.
-Building on left window with curtain open was mine and Brother Eion's bedroom. This picture is before that time mid sixties.
- 50s we think.
- More like late 50's, I remember this scene well, I was about 8 or 9 at the time
-we moved there there about 59 or 60,
it was like that then 
they changed it shortly after that, to no angle parking,
we lived upstairs in the first brick building on the left,
he had a chocolate factory in the back of the building
my dad had a barbershop in the front for a few years, Wright's,
before moving around the corner to James street
-Ma's on the left.Some of the vehicles are late 40's.Looks like the old mans tow truck on the right.
-love it and remember so well!
-The best chocolate factory!
- Maveal’s White Rose on the right
-Thought that was a bakery on the left
- Livingston's Bakery was there. I was born in 1953 and remember the old town.
- He moved when that building burned down. Before my time
-One of the smaller buildings was a fish and chip place. 
-I remember shopping at that "Silvers" store.
- My guess is early to mid-50s by the look of the models of the cars......where are all our car officiados?
-The truck in the foreground is from the 1940's, and I believe there is what looks like a small and older bus in the background...I would estimate the pic to be around 1958-59? That would place some of the cars at a year or two old.
- Silvers clothing store left
-Used to be an ally beside Silvers Singers on the other side. Wades restaurant beside Singers. The Joes Tuck Shop
-Early 1950’s by the look of the cars
- Bell taxi on the left Jim Bell

- I forgot about the Sunoco.
