From the years 1953-1958, Mike Kinnear took photos during his school years, until graduation, while working for Fred Ryan Ltd. after school and holidays. Photos for him was a hobby, and he took many photos of the smelter and townsite as it grew around him. Mike also took a number of photos for the Kitimat Northern Sentinel, during the Ken Brumley and Pixie Meldrum years as editors. Mike and his family left Kitimat in 1958, but he spent the best part of 40 years in the photographic field, mainly in the retail/wholesale part of the photo industry.

Photograph showing many people dancing in a gym all dressed up. It seems to be the Sadie Hawkins Dance from 1959. There are streamers hanging from the ceiling, chairs near the edge of the wall and a table with chairs and people gathered around it in the distance. All the people at the dance seem to be in highschool as they don't look too old or too young.
