As the 1961-62 school year ended at Chapleau High School ended, the final morning assembly became a special occasion, according to a Sudbury Star article.
School principal Luther P. Emerson announced the Principal's Honour Roll while members of the school's bowling team and a retiring teacher were also honoured. As an aside, those of us who attended the "old" high school on Pine Street where the Chapleau Civic Centre now stands will recall that each school day started with an assembly.
Mr. Emerson congratulated the honour roll recipients, all of whom had achieved an overall 75 percent average.
They included: Faye Andrews, Alvina Beaudry, Karen Broomhead, John Henry, Anita Joyce, Susan Lane, James Lapp, Linda Marchioni, Jacqueline Marcil, Patricia McGoldrick, Eric Morse, Bruce Pellow, Shane Wright, Stephen Alexander, Claire Fortin, Donald Fortin, Roland Laferriere, Evelyn Lemieux, Sila Rantamaki, Ronald Doig, Howard Higuchi, Hugh McKechnie, Shirley Petrunka, James Pullen, George Ritchie, Bernard Pilon.
Linda Marchioni had obtained the highest average of the year.
Student council president Gary Schafer presented the Student Council Trophy to David Mizuguchi who was president of the Chapleau High School Bowlers. David was also very active in 1181 Chapleau High School Cadet Corps.
Presentations were also made to Frank Bignucolo captain of the winning team as well as to Jacqueline Bertrand and Shane Wright for highest averages for the year. Maureen Murphy and Bruce Pellow also received awards for high averages.
Mrs. Gladys Bowles was honoured on her retirement from the teaching staff after six years of service. She noted that she started as a part-time teacher but became full-time. Mrs. Bowles started teaching at the school in the 1950s when I was a student there.

When Mr. Emerson left a year later, Dr. Karl A. Hackstetter, who had taught at the school from 1954 to 1957 returned as principal. As enrolment increased with students from the post World War II "Baby boom", more space was required and plans were developed to build a new school on the hill. It opened in 1966 but Dr. Hackstetter did not stay as principal. My email is mj.morris@live.ca
