Welcome to the Berea High School Class Of 1971 forums. Please press "Post Response" to comment, ask a question, etc.

Any one remember:

Wildwood Lake;
the dances after the football games;
pep rallys on Fridays;
dances at the American Legion Hall;
hanging out on the Triangle;
cherry cokes at Gray's Candy Kitchen;
did any of you paint the wood building in the back of the school;
the park had a curfew and you could get locked in (oops)!

Don't forget to let us know if you have ANY old pictures from high school days or any recent pictures of "Get Togethers" with any BHS grads. Thanks!

A few random comments...

7.27.2009 - Another passing memory... While racing Ron Raubenstraw North on the 'new' stretch of I-71 to the Middleburg McDonalds...watching him 4-wheel drift his Dad's '455 cid' Buick off the exit ramp (and almost across the median) on the way...a spectacular feat to witness!!!


I never got "locked in" the Park...but got called down from the cliffs at the Lagoon a few times by the Park Rangers, Ranger and family friend, Jim Pae once.

Got in a brief fight with Gordy Hughes outside the Pizza King...Chuck Rich stepped in at the end to calm everyone.

Ask Mike Burley to comment on Wildwood Lake...Mike lives just a few hours from me and stops in every month or two to drink my beer. He brings his own opener, though.

I enjoyed golfing at the now defunct Riverside Golf Course...with Bob Anderson...dented my Dad's '67 Camaro parking there, the very first time I drove it...ah, sweet 16..!

Heard from my sister that Jan (Hakola) works at my Alma Mater, Kent State...as Psychology Dept. Head..? Jan sat behind me in Mr. Kissel's Geometry class. She consoled me when I came up 'way' short on a timed test. (I didn't hear that it was a timed test)... Good friend.

I owe Pam (Dennis) an apology for not saying "Goodbye" to her properly at our 20th Class Reunion. Pam, I'm sorry I was caught up in talking to (only) one other person when you were trying to tell me "adios". Just so you know, this was noted to me by my wife...who laments that I am not a multi-tasker.

Best to everyone.

Thanks for your efforts, Larry...

Ah, yes Wildwood. A very fun place. It is now owned privately.
Hanging out at the Triangle. Remember before "Urban Renewal"? Was great to stroll around. Stop at Mayo's to snatch an apple. The Place boutique with the chocalate covered bugs. Trying to enjoy a cherry coke at Gray's with the Greasers hanging out there.
Now look at the triangle they almost put it back the way it was. Berea lost its charm when they torn all that down.

A few years ago my husband found a Berea H.S. class ring from 1971, with the initials JSB.
Would love to return it to its rightful owner. Any help you could give in finding that person would be great. Send an email if you have any luck. Thanks
