THE DIEFENBAKER 25

Chris Gailus

"Keep true to the dreams of thy youth". Quoted by Friedrich von Schiller and spoken by Chris Gailus to the Class of 1995 at the Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium. Words to live by from the Class of 1985 alumni. Chris, coming off a newscast on Global BC in Vancouver, takes us behind the scenes of one of the most sought after shifts in Canadian media. From Lethbridge to Calgary. From Dallas to New York. Make room for change, don't get pigeonholed, and let all roads lead you to opportunities. Even if they end up taking you to the High School Hall of Fame, always stand tall on this warpath. THE DIEFENBAKER 25 Spotify songs from the class with class.

Chris Weisenburger, Donavon Stinson

Don't throw this communal living lawyer out with the bathwater. From coast to coast, the grass is greener on both sides of the spectrum. The treehouse owner's acceptance of the single life surrounded by environmentally friendly friends vs. the actor and barbershop owner's fondness of the family life surrounded by the likes of Jessica Alba, Viola Davis, Sandra Bullock, Alyssa Milano, and Ryan Reynolds. Scotch + Wine + Irvine + Gursher = a great time had like no other. (Warning - Contains Strong Language. Listener Discretion is Advised). Chief Cameo: Cindy Gillespie.  Put on your parachute pants and dance to The Diefenbaker 25 Spotify Playlist.  [https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0Ijv4ipojsVu92kTMubDB3?si=0Xpy5D_ITfO8LrRv7hepsg] It's That '90s Show.

Heather Truong (Jones)

Heather with the good hair. A bee once moved her car towards The Mall. Her loving daughters once labeled her as overprotective. I call her the lady in red and remain one of her biggest fans. This former Ms. Jones and me will prove you otherwise if you doubt her innate abilities.  The recipient of annual Christmas flowers since Grade 8 will always be the gift that keeps on giving.

Darren Drebert

Call it the back nine; the fourth quarter; the third period; the remaining lineup consists more than just light, medium, and heavy skaters. The daughters of the Dreberts sound the alarms as the reunited Chiefs ride this warpath to the sunset. Chief Cameo: a fan of the 49ers (definitely not his golf score but rather the team he supports). The songs that define not just a generation but THE DIEFENBAKER 25 is available on Spotify.  [https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0Ijv4ipojsVu92kTMubDB3?si=ttSp4ulMRkOYTw0-EpijFg]

Meghan Sears, Roxanne Kehler (Kilroe)

Good Morning, Vietnam. It's pho with a K at the end. Our valedictorian and her infectious laugh returns with a fries and gravy entrepreneurial side business. Foxanne's love for kids continues well into adulthood, and the mystery of Dr. Sears' vehicle is revealed.  Hazing, hookers, the infamous masturbation class, and Wabash, all with a je ne sais quoi.  Chief Cameo: a cold call surprise courtesy of cold cream face. Your warm up and hype up songs of the class is on Spotify with THE DIEFENBAKER 25 playlist. [https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0Ijv4ipojsVu92kTMubDB3?si=f-6B4S0bRp-l95AhQu47tA]
