Hi Classmates, Success!

We met our goal with money leftover for the white park bench for BHS in honor of the Class of l962. The bench has been installed and is located next to the north side of the gym.
Pictures of the bench will be posted to the website in early August.

The monies leftover will go to purchase a plaque saying: Donated by the Class of 1962, Go Raiders and for the renewal of our website.
The website is good until February 2025, but a special rate is offered in December and that is when it will be renewed, Premium website, 3 years, $385.00.

Thanks for all your support, the Bench Committee. πŸ€—πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡²

The Beach at Miller Park. I'll be real honest, I do not remember that big slide, I'm not sure if it was during our "growing up years" or not.

 

A view of the lake from the Pavilion, kind of relaxing!

Who bowled in the after school League at  Savidge Brothers?  Here are two pictures of the interior, sadly like everything else in Bloomington the building was razed.

Fun nostalgia there Barb.  I met my wife Cheryl in 1966 just prior to being discharged from the Air Force and one of my earliest memories of our relationship was going to Savages to watch her bowl on the Peoples Bank bowling team.   Good memories.  Thanks for the time and effort you put into the class web page.  It means a lot to a lot of us!smiley

Hi Classmates,

The bench donated by the class of '62 is in its location, north side of the gym at the high school. The plaque has been ordered and will be picked up next week.  We will send a picture of the plaque and bench when it is all completed.

Dedication of the bench will take place at the bench site on September 13, 6 p.m. before the homecoming football game. If you are available, please join us at the bench.

Thanks for all who contributed financially.  It was a group effort, some had ideas and some carried them out.

The Bench Committee

We recently travelled from Texas to B/N for Marion's 60th Reunion at NCHS.  I thought while I was there, I would swing by and look at the Newly Donated Bench by the Class of 62. I want to thank the Bench Committee for making this possible.

Enjoy the reunion and safe travels back to
Texas. πŸš—

Janice, 

Thanks for the complement and for being the spokes person for the Bench Committee.  I am sure the class will look forward to the plaque being mounted and a picture on our web site.

I will contact Jackie Lewis Woglwend to see why she is having trouble accessing the web site.

Say Hi to Jerry for me.

So true although my clothes came from Penney's or Wards!

 

Your clothes came from Kmart and they stayed on layaway until school started. Eating out at a restaurant was a thing every now & then!! Fast food was leftovers at home. Eating popsicles was a treat on a hot day. We had fake cigs for candy and you only needed $1 or less. School was mandatory. You took your school clothes off as soon as you got home and put on your play clothes. If no one was home after school, you went to the neighbors. Nobody paid for daycare because we had a key to the house to get in when we got home.
We ate dinner at the table. Our house phone wasn't always being used. We played Cops and Robbers, 1-2-3 Not It, Red Light Green Light, Hide & Seek, Truth or Dare, Tag, Kickball, Dodgeball & we rode bikes. Girls and Boys played in the street. We came home when the street lights came on.
Staying in the house was a punishment and the only thing we knew about being "bored", "You better find something to do before I find it for you!" We ate what Mom made for dinner or we ate nothing at all. There was no bottled water; we drank from the tap or the water hose!
Phone numbers and address’s were either memorized or written on a folded piece of paper which was kept with you at all times!
What were Cell phones? We watched cartoons on Saturday mornings and rode our bikes for hours. We ran around in the streets until dark and came in before the street lights came on.
We were AFRAID OF NOTHING.
We watched our mouths around our Elders. If we acted up we got beat with a wooden paddle, switch or belt!
These were the good old days.
Kids today will never know how it feels to be a real kid, they will never understand my childhood!!
