Home clothes

This photo of some of the boys is likely from around 1960. Also, it seems they're dressed in their 'home clothes' and not their daily Lejac clothes (blue jean denims and khaki shirts).

RON SOLONAS

Ron Solonas is focused on painting his airplane in Rec Room. A young boy in Juniors.

Students...

These students are Juniors at Lejac out for a walk with their supervisors. Looks like this photo is possibly from the early 1970s maybe?

FRED ROBISON

Fred Robison was our cook at Lejac, here serving up a birthday cake. Fred was at the school in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Mrs. Robison worked at the school laundry room.

AT THE SHOW HALL....

Students congregate at the Show Hall. Possibly a Christmas party? photo circa 1964

FIRST COMMUNION....

It was First Communion for many of us boys and girls in the Junior dorms in June 1964. Here we are enjoying a banquet in the girls' rec room following the church ceremony. photo courtesy of Jim

TOO SHY....

When the boys joined archery...

CHRISTMAS PARTY

Herman Glenn of Fort tries out his brand new toy as another boy watches. He also has a bag of goodies!

OKAY, HERE IS THE LION'S CLUB PARTY

Thank you Jim for these photos. I scan the photos whenever I get the chance. I don't know who this boy is but this photo is from the early 1960s at Lejac.

JUNIOR BOYS....

I'm not sure who the boy is horsing around in this photo but that is Herman Glenn on the left behind the boy and possibly Andy Joseph on the right. photo circa 1963

OUR OLD TRACTOR....

Here is one of the supervisors on our old tractor tilling the soil in our big rink. A Senior boy watches from behind the boards and that's our curling rink in the background. This photo is likely sometime after 1965.

George Patrick

George was from Stony Creek (Saik'uz) outside of Vanderhoof some 35 miles from Lejac. A few of our students were from Stony Creek like the Patricks and the Antoines.

Christmas at the Rec Room

SANTA

Here is a picture of Santa at the Christmas party in the new dining room with volunteers from Prince George who came in every year and threw a party for all the kids bringing them presents and goodies!

Christmas 1962

Some of the boys in Rec room during Christmas. Based on the way they are dressed I would say they are having a Christmas party! Having a fun time before they head home for the Christmas holidays. Students at the school typical get two weeks off from school when they went home to their parents and returned after the holidays. Some students stayed at the school over the holidays but most went home. The holidays were always so-o-o EXCITING!!

CHORES....

Here is a photo of one of the boys sweeping the floor in one of the supervisors' bedroom. Boys were assigned chores regularly such as sweeping and mopping floors or downstairs in the dining room. photo December 1963
