It had been a rather long while since I went up from Eastlake Drive for a look, and my reaction this time, was much the same as times before -- wow!! such a fantastic setting for a school!! I walked up from Eastlake Drive via the pedestrian walk / vehicle exit at Beaverbrook Drive, along the front, and ends of the school, and then walked back down to Eastlake Drive via the pedestrian walk / vehicle entrance at Centaurus Drive. I did not get a look at the back side of the school. The area out front -- between Eastlake Drive and the school itself -- is well-forested, making it very difficult to actually seeing the school from the street below, and especially so at this time, with all the trees and other vegetation, fully-leaved, and green. Such a lovely, natural setting!! The walkabout at 'Burnaby Mountain Secondary' was a much-enjoyed, diversion included in my walk this morning.

The school is bright and divided into 3 connected pods, great-sized library, computer lab, and a gym, with state of the art stage and sound system, and wheel chair accessibility to the whole school and bathrooms.

Part 3 -- Gladstone Secondary School, Vancouver, BC -- second semester of grade 8, and then on through grades 9 - 12, and high school graduation. Yikes! now it was a major move -- from two 'small(er)' elementary schools, to the scene at a rather big secondary school. Transferred into 'Gladstone Secondary School' in January, 1953 -- completed the second semester of grade 8, and then went on to complete grades 9 to 12, and high school graduation (spring, 1957). I was classified for 'University Entrance', and had to major in three subjects. I wanted 'Science', but what else? I ended up selecting 'Science', English', and 'Industrial Arts'. Science to me was 'Biology', but taking 'Chemistry' and 'Physics' as well, was not particularly fun. 'English' was "good grief" when it came to grammar, but rather fun re: literature, as the teacher really enjoyed getting into role-playing, and class involvements!! I was never meant to 'make' things, but did enjoy parts of 'Industrial Arts' (architectural drafting, and metal works, over wood works). It all seemed quite an odd combination at the time, but worked, and did it's thing to get me to graduating high school, and enabling me with a 'university entrance'. Some personal memories: - good-sized, interesting walk to/from where I lived (still) on Clarendon Street. - 'Biology' course (taken in grade 11) - a wonderful teacher (Mrs Sanderson?), who knew, and passed on her knowledge, and love of subject to us in so many interesting, and often unique ways - in-class demonstrations, field trips w/collections and write-ups, individual & class dissections, and so much more - for me, just what was needed, and so wanted!! I will never forget her wonderful enthusiasm, and how she introduced, and really 'treated' me, to the 'Biological Sciences'. - boys 'Home Economics' course (taken in Grade 12) -- a chosen elective -- teacher (Mrs Graham?), and course were such a delight, and provided knowledge & practical skills for the future -- primarily centered on food & cooking - with classes, demonstrations, and individual & group cooking sessions - plus, a little sewing & such thrown in. As part of the course, we prepared & presented a buffet lunch for school staff - a big hit! Such a great course - fun, interesting, and so worthwhile! - Trout Lake was nearby, and an often bag-lunch venue for a friend and I -- unless caught by the Vice-Principal eating on the way there, and catching a detention! -- and back when we actually had a few winters in Vancouver, taking ice skates to school, and heading down to the 'Lake' for a skate -- plus, many swims throughout the summer weeks. - I found only one class photo - unsure of 'what' grade - but see we are all looking a 'little' older now. I did not get back for many looks, or any real visits to 'Gladstone School' after graduation, but certainly left the school with a good many fond memories of interesting times, good teachers, and courses, and some great classmates to share the years there. The end, and final chapter of any time that can truly be called "school days" for me.

With nerds, jocks, and everything in between, students tend to dress differently and are less likely to conform to any one standard of behavior. Gone is the "who's cool" rule of thumb, with geeks taking pride in their good grades and thugs content to only harass other thugs. Not that popularity isn't an issue, it's just that the school is so large and things are so diverse that nobody really cares about the people they don't know personally. With a great selection of electives like metal works, electronics, band class, hairdressing etc..., it definitely delivers on the technical trades, and has everything from French Immersion for stuck-ups to the Nova program for last chance drop-outs. I recommend CPTV (Video) with Mr. Grenier, Electronics with Mr. Fruing, and the railway tracks behind the field for smoking lunch time doobies.
