ELECTRONIC THISTLE

An ongoing project to save the McKinnon magazines from the ravages of time.

Visit the "Cheerios From Ex Students" Page

where you can send cheerios to other ex-students

Currently online: Thistle 1957

I am scanning and uploading McKinnon High School / Secondary College annual magazine, The Thistle. This is an attempt to preserve the rapidly decaying copies of the magazines extant. If you have missing issues, or better copies of any years, please contact  Mark Kelly at kel.

I regret we can do little to preserve ex-students from the ravages of time, but if you have had the "good ol' days" gene tweaked by these magazines, be sure to visit the Thistlelonians' page and get back in touch with the gang from the old days. Or email the Thistelonians directly at thistle.

If you are an ex-student who'd like to make an announcement, please visit the "Cheerio" page.

Legend

Years that have no cover thumbnail have yet to be copied.
