Hi, glad you found us.
This site is intended to reunite a community of lads, lassies and teachers whom attended De La Salle College, Pendleton.

The site is open to anyone who attended the college, teacher or pupil. You can add your personal information and administrate the profile and forums you create.

I won't be moderating any of the entries that are made unless they are totally out of character.

I Hope what you find here may pierce your memories and recall the spirit of the times.

Mark Kludowski has sent us a great year shot from 1972, download from the College Images page.

Hilary Byrne has contributed some great photo's, which you can view on the College Images page.

Have fun!

Don't think I've sold out by putting up some GoooogleAds, just covering some small costs....

An architect's first work is apt to be spare and clean. He knows he doesn't know what he's doing, so he does it carefully and with great restraint. As he designs the first work, frill after frill and embellishment after embellishment occur to him. These get stored away to be used "next time". Sooner or later the first system is finished, and the architect, with firm confidence and a demonstrated mastery of that class of systems, is ready to build a second system. This second is the most dangerous system a man ever designs. When he does his third and later ones, his prior experiences will confirm each other as to the general characteristics of such systems, and their differences will identify those parts of his experience that are particular and not generalizable. The general tendency is to over-design the second system, using all the ideas and frills that were cautiously sidetracked on the first one. The result, as Ovid says, is a "big pile". -- Frederick Brooks, "The Mythical Man Month"
