Memories -The Infamous Mr. Dingle 

Shanta R. Nathwani, Class of 1993

1990s@malverncollegiate.com

I was fortunate enough to be in the Concert Band/audience when Geremy Dingle gave the Valedictorian speech to his graduating class. I was never much of one for listening to speeches, but I had a feeling that this one would be different. After having watched him go through the previous year as President of the Student Council, Band President and the lead in the school’s play, I looked forward to listening once again to this wonder of my generation. He continued on about his school years at Malvern, but the highlight of his speech was imitating some of his favourite teachers. I’d never had Miss Dymott as a teacher, but having been in her class the following year, I knew his performance was bang on. Another wonderful display was his homage to Mr. Gillings, going on about white socks for gym class. He even threw in Mr. Irwin and Mr. Randall if my memory serves me. But this wasn’t the most amusing part. He did it with class. He didn’t make fun of them; he paid tribute to them. I thought to myself, I haven’t seen the last of this character. And I was right. Imagine my surprise while watching Bravo a few years later and seeing his face pasted across an ad launching the channel. Jeremy is now in California pursuing his career in acting and has had appearances on shows such as “Angel” and in movies such as “Wish You Were Dead”. I knew he’d go far.

Where are they now?

Some of you may remember Miss Roxanne Deans (Class of '91).  She's pursued her career in theatre for a number of years and decided that it wasn't for her anymore.  She opened up her online bookstore (www.roxannereads.com) which has experienced a successful existence. But this was not enough. On February 1st, 2009 she opened her first store Roxanne Reads at 750A Queen Street East.   Please join us in congratulating Roxanne on her newest endeavour!

OK TEAM!  Time for the new generation to rise up and answer the call. We need you! This decade is almost over and we need a Decade Co-ordinator for the new Millennium, i.e. the first graduates of Malvern who will not have 1903 -1999 after their names. Think you fit the bill?
