NOTES:
  1. Cyril O. Morse -- Aparently graduated in 1910.
  2. D. Lindsay -- None with that initial, (but) a Donald St. G. 1910-12.
  3. Wilfred L.G. Snetsinger -- Originally transcribed as Snitsinger.
  4. Howard E. Reid -- Seems to be identified on the back of the photo as two surnames, Howard and Reid.
  5. Macara -- No name resembling this has been found so far (originally transcribed as Mocara).
    March 6, 2012: I received an email from Karen Prytula which says in part: " . . . . the name Mocara . . . is most likely John Lawrence Mudie Macara (1892-aft. 1944), whose parents were John Macara, the Chief Computer at the Dominion Observatory (Carling Ave., Ottawa) in 1911, and Emma Catherine Snow, daughter of surveyor John A. Snow. . . . Of course, I cannot be 100% certain . . . but through all my research there were no other Macara's living in Ottawa in 1911. John L.M. Macara is my cousin 3x removed. "
  6. Philip H.P. Woollcombe -- Graduated in 1910.
  7. J. Hennesey -- Nobody from 1911. James W. from 1910.
  8. J. Harvey -- We have a J.W.D. and a John D.M. from that time period.
  9. McLaren -- We have an A. Roy and a James N. from that time period.
  10. Maunsell -- Terrence St. G. Mansell 1910-13
  11. J. Blakeney -- We have a Thomas L. and a Henry N. from that time period.
  12. A. Fleming -- We have a John A.M. and a Paul A. from that time period.
  13. Montgomery -- We have a Melbourne W.F. and a Ronald S. from that time period.
  14. Thieburn or Thoburn -- We have nobody by this name -- could it be Alfred J. Therien or Charles A. Thoburn?
  15. McConnell -- We have a Richard B. and a Rinaldo W.
  16. M. Taschereau -- This is puzzling -- Charles E. deM. (1907-17).
  17. Montgomery -- We have a Melbourne W.F. and a Ronald S. from that time.
  18. L. Wright -- No L., but a Frank S. 1909-1914.
  19. Parker II -- We have Harry S. and Vivian S. who would be younger, also the second one hence perhaps the II.
  20. C. Price -- We have Arthur C. and Charles E both 1910-1911.
