Janet McCowan was my neighbour and friend. She lived right across the street, McCowan Road. I remember her as a very down-to-earth type of person who was always kind and always there to help people, if needed. While she was one of the "girls", she liked to be the leader in any group situation. We enjoyed just hanging out and playing hide and go-seek and spud. In high school, she was my senior and someone that I often talked to about volleyball, a game we both loved. Janet was also a great pitcher on the baseball team that myself and my sister Norma were on. This team was run by Mr. Cook, whose family lived behind us. This time, as team-mates, is my most memorable. We shared a lot of laughs together and probably some tears. Janet was competitive but always considerate of others. In later years, our paths crossed again in Whitby. I remember our conversation being as comfortable as ever, even though years had passed. I will always remember her with a smile. Thanks for all the good times!

For Further Information, please contact: James McCowan Memorial Social History Society, c/o 19 Monarchwood Crescent, Don Mills, Ont., M3A 1H3, 416-447-4895, www.mccowan.org, bea@beamccowan.com (A Non-Profit, Non-Charitable Organization Dedicated to Placing the Scottish Experience Within the Wider Context of the Community) From The Scarboro Heights Record V9 #5A future Student Project for which at least one prize will be awarded is in connection with Nutrition -- Feeding the Family in a Local Economy: An Inquiry Into the Evolving Nutritional Needs and Expectations of the Family. Administrative details are being worked out, but in the meantime data for students is being added to the child links under this page and to various other pages on this web site. (You're the researcher -- you have to locate these "other pages" using the finding aids on this site!) From The Scarboro Heights Record V9 #6 A large** portion of the proceeds from the sale of "Neigh the Front -- Exploring Scarboro Heights" will be donated to the Janet McCowan Fincham Memorial Scarborough Community Studies Program. This program (as well as the Robert McCowan Scholarship at R.H. King Academy) will be administered by the James McCowan Memorial Social History Society (www.mccowan.org). In addition, we hope to raise funds for the Janet McCowan Program through "sponsorship of Halbert class / group photographs" as published in "Neigh the Front" and on this web site. "Neigh the Front" was dedicated to the memory of Janet. We hope to find sponsors, at $100.00 each, for the Halbert photographs listed at the bottom of this page. (Some of these photographs are at www.scarboroughrecord.com -- click on the Halbert Reunion link.) We would also be happy to publish on this web site other Halbert photographs at the same sponsorship rate. We expect that four people in each group photo would each contribute $25 to make a complete sponsorship. In this way, the total cost would be shared and the individual burden minimal. Unfortunately, we cannot issue a tax receipt. We trust that this initiative will meet with the approval of Janet's many friends and others who have shared the benefits of her Scarborough community. "Neigh the Front" is structured and organized as a resource to assist students, ages 10-18, with their Scarborough Community Studies -- all the while telling the rich and varied history of Scarboro Heights. We are certain that you will be pleased with this publication which was released at the H.A. Halbert Reunion on June 16 2001. The price of "Neigh the Front" is $17.00 per copy (includes postage and handling). (This is in addition to the cost of the photograph sponsorship.) Please make cheque payable to "James McCowan Memorial Social History Society" and mail to James McCowan Society, c/o 19 Monarchwood Crescent, Don Mills, Ontario, M3A1H3. Please indicate the name of the sponsored photograph and enclose a very good copy of it (or a .jpg file) for publication on the web, together with names of the students. **Note: H.A. Halbert School was given eighteen free copies of Neigh the Front for use in their own fundraising programs.
If you can identify any of the students in these photographs, please email me at bea@beamccowan.com. The Scarboro Heights Record V9 #2 Visitors Since August 29, 2001
