This photo was given to Ted Ross by the late Frank Keenan who attended Slade in the late 1920s and early 1930s. Apparently the photo was taken from on top of the classroom block.

This photo was included in the February – March 2000 Kinawah.
Frank wrote that at the time the photo was taken the cadet unit was formed up in front of Slade House under the care of Lt. Daintree (a master at that time) in front and AIC W/O Garlick (on right of picture). It’s thought that Garlick was regular army. The NCO’s were Quarter Master Sgt Barry Rowland, Platoon Sgt F Keenan, Corporal Ian Fairbairn and L/Corporal Ted Oerton.
The East who built Slade House, then called “Eastmont” was my Great Grandfather and the Grandfather of Val Lucas who was my mother Val Gardner. Of course he was also the Great Grandfather of my sister Ann and my cousin Elizabeth Bloomfield(Rowland) who also went to St Catharine”s. I am trying to find some more history about this.
