Sir James Dunn High School 1977-78 Yearbook Featuring Wayne Gretzky. Wayne, who attended classes when not busy scoring 70 goals and setting up 112 others for the Soo Greyhounds of the OHA, is captured at the age of 16 in the picture on page 50. He would celebrate his 17th birthday before the school year's end. This green leather-bound 152-page yearbook contains five other former Soo Greyhound players and one Canadian rock musician. Craig Hartsburg (page 34) played with Gretzky in 1977-78 with the Soo Greyhounds. Hartsburg went on to play 10 seasons in the NHL for the Minnesota North Stars. Dave Jennings (page 34), Bernie Chiverelli (page 32), and Zoltan "Toots" Kovacs (page 15) also played with Gretzky during the 1977-78 season. Ali Butorac (page 86) played with the Soo Greyhounds in the 1977-78 season and went on to play in the IHL and AHL. Billy Priddle (page 91) is a Canadian rock musician and is the co-lead vocalist and guitarist in the band Treble Charger. The covers have a few defects including some surface wear and a red mark on the back. Most of the pages are in nice and clean condition. Overall a nicely kept yearbook featuring Wayne Gretzky.
