Collection consists of captioned photographs contributed by Alan Noon to the Western News in a weekly photofeature entitled "The Way We Were". This feature ran from 2001 to 2012. Majority of photographs were originally taken by London Free Press or the university archives (Western News photographers or other images); with a smaller number taken by Noon himself or from private collections. Noon wrote each caption; these are found in the scope and content notes for each photograph.

Football coach Frank Cosentino also taught PHE 260 a course on the history of sport and physical education. This particular year he gave students the choice of either submitting a traditional paper or illustrating their topic in other media. Football players Bill McDonnell, left, and Mike Fess look over half of a Roman Coliseum made from cardboard and polyfilla. They had planned to create the whole thing but as McDonnell put it, "It got too big". Meanwhile hockey player Al Worsley created a mosaic of a discus thrower.

The present ongoing campus construction boom at Western is reminiscent of the heyday-building boom of the 1960’s. In 1964, the largest building yet "The Medical School" was already changing the skyline. This view taken in the winter of 1964 shows the progress of the building, which was completed a year later.

The opening of the new University Community Centre introduced commercial retailing on campus. A popular spot was the 1500 square foot Piccadilly Square store that offered everything from toothpaste to diamonds. Jan York a music student was among the 12 full and part time staff hired from the student body.

UWO President G. E. Hall had frequently noted the lack of recognition for Western’s founder, Bishop Isaac Hellmth. Professor Murray Barr had suggested that one of the new buildings be named for Hellmuth, but nothing came of it. Finally on September 28, 1962 a rain soaked gathering watched Ontario Premier John Robarts unveil a memorial plaque in a small archway, which was part of an addition to Stevenson Hall. Hellmuth was further recognized beginning in 1997 with the establishment of the Hellmuth Prizes by vice president research Bill Bridger.

One attraction at the 1970 campus open house was a puppet show organized by Sister Coronna and Sister
Mary Louis from Brescia College, now Brescia University College. While most children watched the show in
the traditional manner, Jason McConnie wandered back stage. The sisters had their hands full with more than
puppets as Sister Corona kept Jason at bay while the show went on. The three-day open house attracted

30,000 visitors, the majority being parents with their high school age children.

Professors Don McMillan and Helen Battle, Department of Zoology tape the dissection of a rabbit in the new television studio in the basement of the Natural Sciences Centre. Designed to enhance lectures and laboratory sessions, the black and white TV system received poor support from faculty and was eventually discontinued. McMillan observed: "You can do this in your sleep, but under the hot lights, cables and massive cameras you feel like a complete idiot".

UWO Assistant Registrar Syd Isaacs once played against movie legend Omar Sharif and won! Not surprising considering Isaacs was a bona fida Bridge Master. To be a life master you need to accumulate 300 points. She had amassed 1600. A life long smoker, Isaacs quipped that she smoked in self-defense. "The playing rooms are so filled with pipe and cigar smoke that if you stand up you cannot see across the room."

Like many of its contemporaries the Putherbough Construction Company made extensive use of horsepower during the 1920’s and construction of University Bridge was no exception. This view looking east towards Richmond Street illustrates ‘teamsters’ with their wagons hauling sand and gravel to build the cofferdams needed to hold back the river water allowing footings to be laid. John Putherbough, mastermind behind the whole operation, can be seen standing in the centre foreground wearing a hat, white shirt and with hands behind his back.

Life imitates art as Jim Unger makes a face reminiscent of his cartoon character Herman. Unger’s presence for a book signing caused the biggest line-ups in the Western Bookstore since the September rush for books and supplies.
