Remember...
Charles Gruber's "CHARGE" section at the pep rallies? When the band marched down the hall before pep ralllies? How at the first class meeting on Aug 28 Jim Loftin, Alan Still and Mark Talley were sent home for wearing shorts Jimmy Daniel's sleevless jacket? The Dragon basketball team's PERFECT season? The yellow rose as our class flower? Trying to raise money by selling light bulbs? "Whan that aprill with his shoures soote The droghte of march hath perced to the roote...." Really ugly blue gym uniforms with snaps up the front? When every Friday was fishstick day in the cafeteria? Nylons were in 2 pieces! No panty hose!! Green stamp premiums? Free dishes in oatmeal and laundry detergent? When we never locked our doors - car nor home? Coca-Cola came in a glass bottle and cost 5 cents? When all our phone numbers started with LO? When roller skates had keys? Reel to reel tape recorders? Fireflies in a fruit jar? Mud pies decorated with Crape Myrtle blossoms? Playhouses with pine straw walls? But perhaps I am going a little too far back.... |
