The Moved and the Shaken: The Story of One Man's Life

by Ken Dryden

On Tuesday, September 6, 1960, the day after Labour Day, class 9G at Etobicoke Collegiate Institute in a suburb of Toronto assembled for the first time. Its thirty-five students, having written special exams, came to be known as the "Selected Class." They would stay together through high school, with few exceptions, spending more than two hundred days a year together. Their ancestors were almost all from working-class backgrounds. Their parents had lived their formative years through depression and war. They themselves were born into a postwar world of new homes, new schools, new churches, and new suburbs. Ken Dryden was one of these thirty-five. He decided to find his classmates, to see how they are, what they are doing, and how life has been for them. Most had married, some divorced, most have kids, many have grandkids.
