I have the 1954-55 and 1955-56 Luxton Livewire. I
went to Luxton for grades 5,6 and 7.  I quite enjoyed
going through the books. looking at faces I haven't
seen for 50 plus years  Memories of Mrs. Babb came
through quite clearly. though. Especially the wed
collection.
Just thought I would add my name to the list just
in case someone I know is browsing through the names.

I lived at 257 Lansdowne and went to Luxton for grades 1-4 and grades 7 & 8.  I went to Champlain School for grades 5 & 6.  My family then moved to Silver Heights.  I have lots of fond memories of Luxton.  One of my favourite teachers was in grade 4- Mrs Romanche (sp?).  I had Miss Babb for grade 8 and I remember the red geraniums that lined the windowsills in her classroom. I also remember Mr Gridley and the winter trek to Kildonan Park and going back to the school for a sock hop.  I can remember practicing speed skating at the park across from the school and going to the Arena for a speed skating competition.  Hope to meet some classmates at the wine and cheese party.

Just head about the 100th anniversary via the radio on my way to work.  I currently live in Alberta and will not be able to make the festivities.  My sisters Cecile and Beverley-Anne also attended Luxton from K-9.  What wonderful memories come flooding back. Hope everyone has a wonderful time!  I would love to hear from anyone who remembers me or my sisters.

Dad and his older brothers (Arthur, Bill and Charlie) and his sister (Eileen) all attended Luxton from their home at 4 Scotia between 1912 and 1932. All of the family share strong physical similarities and Dad's most vivid memory is his first day at school when his teacher looked at him and said: "Not another Birt!"

Wow! What an amazing event. I just found out about this from Reva Theuman (Leventhal) who lives in the same city as I. I remember in elementary the school bell being rung (by hand) and the boys and girls lining up separately outside. Later, the Latin classes, learning the recorder with Miss Milgrom, Field Day, It would be wonderful to hear what my classmates have been doing all these years.
I wish all who attend a most wonderful occasion.

So good to read all the posts from people that I haven't seen in such a long time but who I've thought of often. Although I was only a Luxton for a few years until moving out of the area, I still remember the great times we had as kids.
I am tied up for most of the weekend, but I'm sure I'll make it to the school late Friday night and possibly catch the latter part of the social on Saturday. To all the kids that lived on or near Polson - you guys were so much fun. Singing acapello (sic) with the Zbrogs, hanging out with the Klenmans and my cousin Pat, hide and seek after dark, going to the movies at the Deluxe. Boy, did we know how to be cool...lol.
Hugs to Linda C., and Lydia B. Ciao to Carlo. Hope to see you during the reunion. To everyone not going ... send an email to an old friend or staff member you see on here.... we can never have enough friends in our lives.

And Holy Cow, the years went by fast!!!!!!!!

Can't believe Luxton is 100 years old! My brother (Ryan McBride) and I both attended in the late 70s - early 80s. I remember my first day in Miss McWhirter's class back in grade one. I still keep up with Mr. McLellan, although I'm old enough to call him Joe now. Amazing to see the names in the guest book that bring back memories - Curtis Thorne, Jason Daase, Salim Loxley, Raina Walton (Poitrais), Lisa Paczynski.....

I likely will not be able to be at much, if any, at the Reunion. But, I have only the fondest memories of Luxton and deep thankfulness to have been a part of an environment which turned out some of the best talent Canada has ever seen, (undoubtedley to the sheer amazement of Romanow, Gridley, Babb, Nicks, Murray, McNeil et al). It was truly a Golden Era.

Congratulations!  I have such wonderful memories of the great students and staff that were such an inspiration to me.  Miss Mary Reid, Mr. M. McPherson, Mr. Tony Romanow, Mr. Dack, Mr. Gridley .Mr. Browning and Mrs. Phillps to name a few that come to mind. After graduating from St. John's I went to the Wpg. Gen. Hospital School of Nursing ( now the HSC) graduating from there in 1962. I worked  at the WGH for five years and then went to the St. Boniface Hosp. as the Head Nurse on the EENT ward.  Several years later the Geriatric Day Hosp. of the St. B. was my place of employment.  In  1996 I retired and moved to Victoria, BC where my wonderful husband Tom, of almost 46 years and I presently reside.  We have two beautiful daughters (Erin an RN and Karen MA in Human Resources from RRU) and are very enthusiastic grandparents to nine terrific grandchildren!  We do plan on visiting Wpg. during the anniversary as we are going to be in Wpg. to take part in the 100th anniversary of Calvary Temple and if time permits we will try and fit in at least one of the Luxton celebrations.  Have a wonderful time.

Dad's story is around the medal He located the other day.  This medal was for soccer.  It is about the size of a quarter and has a soccer player on the front and inscribed with the words Luxton School 1930 and his initials  EW on the back. Dad would like to know if any other medals are around.  
The story goes that the soccer team in 1930 went through the league play with no goal scored against them. In the semifinial the game ended in an one all tie. The next Saturday it was continue and Luxton won .  In the finial no goals were scored againt the Luxton team.  They had won the champonship with only one goal scored against them all season.  Dad said the teachers got together a purchard the medals for the team member as there was no other recollection. Evan was in grade eight at this time.    
Evans lives in the St James area of Winnipeg.  He is looking forward to the reunion.

It will be interesting to see how many people attend the May Long Weekend festivities.  My only wish is that my favourite teacher, Mrs. Stefanick, is still alive and attends.  I grew up on Lansdowne Avenue, along with the Munch's, the Doyle's, the Hendrickson's, the Brauer's, the Pinette's and the Charleton's (sorry that I can't remember them all).  There was always someone to play tag, red rover or hide & seek.  I also remember the brown Jaguar Burton Cummings had parked on the street the years he lived there and peeking into his window when he was playing the piano.  Of course we got chased away.  I look forward to seeing familiar faces which have aged just like myself!

I only attended Luxton school for my grade 5 year but it was one of the greatest years of my life. I have a lot of great memories of Luxton, the Friday night dances were the best. I remember the Halloween dance when one of the older boys dressed up with gitch over his tights and a pumpkin on his head. I wonder if he remembers that. I don’t know who he was. I was there for the 75th anniversary and I hope to be there for the 100th. I really hope I can see my teacher whom I still think about, MR. SIMMONS.

The K-9 years @ Luxton were so influential.  The most inspired teacher of my life was Angela Thomson in grade 4. One memory is playing "jump the ball"  throwing a hard rubber ball against the outside walls and jumping  over it and doing tricks. Also, lots of double rope skipping at recess. I will be away travelling but will be thinking of good friends from this time.

Just returned from visiting my mom in Winnipeg and heard about the reunion.  I found my 1956-57 Livewire (I am sure I have some others) - the memories just came pouring out after looking at the pictures of the people I went to school with.  I try to drive by the old area (Mortimer Pl. and then Scotia St.) and of course Luxton School, whenever I visit.  Not sure if I will be able to make this reunion, but I will certainly try,

Just learned about this celebration this week, April 17th, 07. Lots of memories come back. Helping in the kindergarten, standing outside Mr. Gridley’s room – lined up with the others who had disrupted the class, huddling in the cold around the flag pole on Remembrance Day, assembly – all of us in rows – shortest to tallest - at the end of the hall in junior high, good friendships. Anyone know the whereabouts of Marilyn Johnson? Looking forward to meeting some of the Grade 9 class of 1960-61.

I live in Edmonton but I grew up on Scotia Street and attended Luxton from kindergarten to grade 9. I have lots of memories of good times, good friends and teachers. In particular I remember the winter trek through Kildonan Park (Mr. Gridley), the annual run through the neighborhood (Mr. Spurll) the music program (Miss Milgrom) and Latin classes with Miss Nicks. Unfortunately I won't be able to attend this anniversary but I'll be be thinking of everyone. It's exciting for me to recognize lots of names in the guest book. Email me at rtheuman44@hotmail.com

I attended Luxton until the end of grade 4, then moved to the other side of Winnipeg, then on to Calgary where I finished school. Just thinking about Luxton brings back a flood of memories (I was there when the entire school let go a mass of red balloons with messages for the 75th anniversary). I haven't been back to Winnipeg for many years and think this would be a great reason to do so. I have fond memories of Miss Bignell (especially the massage chain after exams: something that could never fly these days in school) and also the Suzuki violin teacher, who's name, unfortunately, escapes me. If she's out there and remembers the little blonde girl with pigtails who quit despite the objections, I've recently picked it up again and am loving it. Congratulations, Luxton School, may you be around for another hundred.

I've been with my husband for 35 years, have 2 sons 34 & 27, 2 daughter in laws and a precious 14 month old grandson (and another grandchild due in Aug).

I can’t remember who was Miss or Mrs. In grade seven I had Mr. LeNevue. Those were great years and a wonderful time to grow up.

Luxton School has to have the best memories for me as a kid. I will always remember Mrs Capri my grade 1 teacher,  she'd always give you little treats (stickers, lei's and little trinkets). And of course Ms Silverman the best teacher at singing with the students in class. Another cool memory was when they built the new gym. We all got to put a time capsule under the ground before they built it. Looking forward to seeing everyone!!

Luxton played that very important role in my life and I cannot thank them enough on their hard work and dedication. I hope to attend your special event and would love to meet my past teachers. Schools today are not what they used to be, and they can learn from Luxton's past and not doubt the present.
