"Senior
Year" "I
turned to my high school yearbook to help me out on this.
I could remember some sad things like the deaths of a classmate
and schoolmate. The funny and exciting things were giving
me problems. (I was thinking, gee, I was dull!) But
after reading what everyone wrote, there were a lot of fun and
exciting things that happened. So I'm bringing my yearbook
to the reunion and would like everyone who sitned it (which was
almost everyone) to please enlighten me on what all the "don't
ever forgets" were!" "Freshman
Year--Winning float at Homecoming ("The Torch is Passed") "Crawling
through the tunnels underneath CHS; smoking in the boys room during
trigonometry; getting beaver shots (#1 memory); getting arrested
with Keith Woods for swimming in our skivvies in the Clearwater
poll in the wee hours of the morning; dressing up and going on
dates (with Jennifer Osborne) to the Miller and Orpheum theaters;
the good ol' Westport drive-in." "When
Gary Koch and I used to get the giggles in Janet Willis's Social
Studies class. She'd try to get on to us but always ended
up laughing with us." "Stage
Band was lots of fun--we thought we were pretty cool! Lots
of slumber parties and giggling; trying to make Baked Alaska at
Roxann's house; riding on the bus to games and music festivals." |
"Harold
Hoelscher saying 'of course' 137 times in Biology class
in one hour." "Exciting--Football
games, track, and band trips. Sad--Robert Helton drying from
drowning." "Freshman--Cleaning
Gerald O'Neil's hubcaps with a toothbrush for Freshman Initiation;
Homecoming float "Roy
"Rubberjaws" Harrington subbing in chemistry. We
made hydrogen sulfide in the lab and poured it under the door of
Miss Trindle's class." "Freshman
Initiation--onion rings on a string around the neck, drinking a
mixture of vinegar, pickle juice, and milk in a baby bottole with
the nipple dipped in peanut butter and passed around mouth-to-mouth.
Going to Burrton for Band Day and buying cans of Silly String, which
of course we sprayed all over each other's brand new band uniforms;
the moms who wore the nightgowns, house slippers, and curlers driving
their cars to the school to pick us girls up after the out-of-town
games; going to the Battle of the Bands at the Cotillion Ballroom;
going to the Miller Theater for the Midnight Movies; the slumber
parties, Pep Club, pep rallies, playing in the band at half-time
during the games, working the concession stands, working on the
floats for the parades, decorating for the school dances.
And I'm still waring the ring that I made in Art Class!" "Remembering
some of the different teachers, Pep Club supporting all the games,
sitting on the stage during lunch. I never once said the
Freshman Initiation Pledge. The one time I was cornered by Mike
McCullough, he was distracted and I slipped away." "River
Parties; dragging Main and meeting out at Chisolm." "Roxann's
slumber parties; basketball games; Mrs. Dalbom's English Class;
French Class." "Embarrassing?
When I forgot my lines in Pygmalion and said, 'Oh, shit' - which the microphone picked up quite clearly! (Did
the same thing, exactly, at our wedding, too!)" "Trips
on the Pep Club bus; plays; the slumber party where we all were
snowed in at Susan's." "The
Viet Nam War and the loss of some of our High School boys stands
out the most in my mind. I still feel the same sadness today
that I felt then." "When
Kay Cotton, Maureen Frischenmeyer and I used to say we were spending
the night with each other and sneak out to the old Bunny Club and
wait tables. We were 16. They thought we were 21." "Sad--Viet
Nam. River parties; hanging around in the park." "Slumber
parties, track meets, basketball games (Pep Club), marching band." "Dragging
Main; the Opel being picked up and put on the sidewalk in front
of the Post Office; Halloween, senior year when we got egged and
they got in the car heater and the car smelled of rotten eggs all
winter; when we stole watermelons at the Big-Little Sister party
our freshman year; hauling out freshman our senior year and making
them jog beside the car back to town; the slumber party at the Legion
Hut when we "Let it slip" that we'd spiked the punch
but really didn't and everyone thought they were drunk." "We
had great times in High School. I remember best of all the
many friends."
