In a new magazine called Zoomer, that hit the stands in September, our Dayle Haddon is featured on the cover of the November issue.�
Zoomer Magazine Features '65 Dale Haddon
“…�model Dayle Haddon, 59-year-old wrinkles and all, is the November cover girl.”�(Hey, wrinkles are proof of age and with age comes wisdom; or so we’re told!)

We 65′ers remember Mac’s Christmas variety show in which she donned a cat costume and danced to the music of Alley Cat�.� It was a very professional�performance and we weren’t surprised to see her modelling for the Sears catalogue and later placing (5th)�in the Miss Teen Canada Pagent.�

To whom it may concern
If this is about Dale , I am happy to see that she is doing so well and I have done well too and my family lived across the street from the Haddon family on Cambridge Road in Bai d’urfe , we were at #10.
I am glad that you are doing well but what I really need to know is when we were both at Macdonald High, I remember the Variety Show when the Beatles came out, what a show and you were hot in that show.Actually I beacame a drummer and got into a band , we used to play at the COOP, remember that?
I can’t even remember the name of the band.
For what it is worth I now play in a Marching Drum Corps in Lindsay Ontario , play a drum , what else would I play eh? Especially at guess what? 61 years
old.
However , I was in the Cadet Corps at Mac and although my parents both passed away in 2004 they left me with no pics of my 4 years in the Corps and I know that I started as a cadet followed by Sgt then Sgt Major of the Corps.
Any way I have no pics of the Cadat Corps , do you know how to get some?

Hi Jim,
Good to see that you’re staying in touch with good ol’ Mac! The only picture I could lay my hands on was from the 1965 Beacon; I’ll send you a copy via your personal e-mail. Good luck with your search. Maybe posting on your class site will bring more to the surface.
Best regards,

Dear Vivian
Thank you so much for posting my picture. I am touched! I have such fond memories of Macdonald High and ALL the students I shared so much with. I travel a lot now as an ambassador for UNICEF and everywhere I go you stay in my heart. I hope we can all stay in touch. Thank you again. I am honored to be remembered.
Warm wishes

Dayle! How wonderful to hear from you! We missed you at the 2000 reunion and again at the Centennial Celebrations in 2007, although, I did try to catch up with you and several people asked after you. It was Don Barnes who gave me the heads-up about Zoomer. You may not remember him, as he came to the school as a young teacher when we were in our senior year.
A note aside: I will always remember a birthday gift you gave me when we were in elementary school. You said something close to this: “My mother told me that when you give a gift, give something from your heart.” You gave me a little ballerina broach of your own which I cherished for many years. How touched I was at the time and it makes me feel good to know that I was able, finally, to give YOU a gift from the heart…a place of prominence on our little web site!
Take care, dear girl. I have followed your career, have read your book and look for more wonderful accomplishments. You do good work.
Love and a big hug,
Viv
