Reunions CLASS OF ’61 CBC TERRACE 60TH ANNIVERSARY REUNION Surely it has to be a record that, 60 years after leaving the Terrace, we had 35 attendees to a sit-down lunch with pre-dinner drinks at the La Casetta Restaurant in Wembley on Thursday 20 May. The restaurant has been owned by the same Italian family for 53 years – but we even pre-dated them! This remarkable attendance is typical of the Class of ’61 (and incorporating the boys who left school in 1959 after completing Junior
Certificate). We were the students of the final year of CBC Terrace before the College relocated to East Perth and became Trinity College in 1962. The fact that we were the last of the Terrace era has always seemed to create a special bond between us and a deep respect for the CBC heritage and the Brothers who taught us. As a result, the Class of ’61 has consistently had a strong representation at TOBA functions over the years and school-forged friendships have remained intact over all of those 60 years.

The high turnout is also largely due to the excellent efforts of the organising committee headed by John Devine. Thanks fellas, from all of us! We even had two attendees who had never been to a class reunion in the whole 60 years – so welcome back Max and Ray! Most of us are still recognisable as the cleareyed young men of 1961 and 1959 but of course with less hair, larger tummies and with gravity cruelly adding to the lines on our faces!
