“Labor Omnia Vincit”-My High School’s Motto

Last weekend, my high school in Toronto celebrated its Centennial! I have attended the past celebrations of its 75th and 90th, but wasn’t so sure I would participate in the 100th. I’m only in touch with a handful of my friends from back then, after all. But, the literature started arriving and then I ended up ordering a commemorative book, so I had to go pick it up, right? In any event, the old building was demolished two years ago and a brand new building and field have been erected. Old ghosts gone! Coincidentally, I ran into one of my dear high school friends at work; she was as non-committed as was I in terms of attending; nonetheless, we agreed to meet up and drive over together. As I said to my husband, how high school-ish…we didn’t even want to walk into the school by ourselves!
