Another one of my St. Lawrence Market finds, this picture was taken at Humberside Collegiate in Toronto, sometime in 1950. I found it in a box of photos that all seemed to feature the Creighton family, who probably lived somewhere in the High Park/Junction area of Toronto. Any Humberside alumni recognize this photo or the name Creighton? View full size.
A friend is an alumnus of Humberside at this time. He tells me that the player on the left is Colin Campbell, next to him, smiling, is John Tolton. In the middle is Don Hart. On the far right is Bob Pinkney. The one second from the right is not clear enough for him to identify.
Campbell is living in Napanee. Pinkney is in Cambridge, Ont., John Tolton was a school trustee and eventually the head trustee at the TDSB.
As for the Creightons, Doug Creighton, a year older than these guys, was for a long time the editor or publisher of The Toronto Sun.
My friend had not heard of Hec Creighton, but my husband had him as a teacher at Danforth Tech.
Hec Creighton was a teacher at Humberside Collegiate Institute in Toronto, but is best known for his contribution as a Canadian Football referee.
The Hec Creighton Trophy is awarded annually to the best Canadian football player in Canadian Interuniversity Sport.
