DMCI Class of 63

Welcome DMCI Class of 63

Welcome to the web home for the Daniel McIntyre Collegiate Institute's Class of 1963 home page.

This is the site where we'll re-connect, and begin planning for our 60th Reunion, April 21-23, 2023!

Click here to visit the DMCI Alumni/ae Facebook page.

And here is how to connect with your class mates from 1963:

1. Click on the "Email David Ewart" link in the lefthand side bar to send an email to David. And just to catch you up - David adopted his step-father's name in the 1980's. You'll find him in the Year Book as David Thompson.
      
2. Click on the title of any post, and you will be taken to a page where you can see notes others have posted and can add your own.
      

Reunion 2023

2023 marks the 100th Anniversary of the founding of the school that would eventually become Daniel McIntyre Collegiate Institute.

A reunion is planned for April 21-23, 2023.

Check the Alum Facebook page for news. (I'll repost things here as I learn of them.)

Looking forward to reconnecting!

In Memorium

Sadly, part of catching up is finding out that some classmates have passed on.

Listed below are those we remember:

Edelmann, Peter, 1944-2007

Yoshino, Alan, 1945-2007 

Tucker, Wayne, 1945-2012

Reunion 2008

Hi All,

I talked so much at the reunion, my throat was raw when I got home! Which gave me a good excuse to stay home today, Monday, and have a quiet day.

As promised, I have sent an email to everyone whose contact I currently have.

There were some at the reunion whose email I have missed, so please send them to me. Terry Goodmundson is one and I know there were a few others.

We’d like to build out this list to include as many as possible from the class of 63 – including friends and family from other years and schools – to see how many can be encouraged to attend our 60th in 2023.

I had some mixed feelings beforehand about this one, but it was a great time for me. It truly was a gift to re-connect. At the end of the evening I thought to myself: These are good people; good to be with. We’ve weathered – or are in the midst of – some losses; and have also managed to bring some goodness into the world. I really enjoyed being with you all.

David Ewart.

 

DMCI Maroons, Cheerleaders, and Choir

Check out 1961-62 Breezes and 1962-63 Breezes scanned pages of the DMCI Maroons football team, Cheerleaders, Concert Choir, and the outstanding athlete Joe Werbenuk Trophy winners.

Friends Still "Lost"

This page could include the several hundred people who aren't on the "Found" list, but I'll limit it to the few who are being actively sought.

DOUGLAS, Jim
(Roswitha Nawratil (now Linde) would like to re-connect)

HOLT, Ed

INGLIS, Rick

KORT, Brian

LITKE, Sharon

Classmates Who "Graduated" in 1962 (Grade 11)

Because of Manitoba's unique system of graduating in Grade 11 (Junior Matriculation) and Grade 12 (Senior Matriculation), many of our classmates in 1962 were not part of our Grade 12 graduation in the spring of 1963. So I have scanned and indexed all 1962 Grade 11 Grads as well.

(Just for the record: There are over 23 pages of Grade 11 Grads in 1962 and just over 14 pages of Grade 12 Grads in 1963.)

Listed below are a few of them.
