Lisa Yee, sounds like you're suggesting we have a Class of '76 reunion with 70's snacks, amirite ?!

John Simmers, welcome to my world! I don't know what I had for breakfast but I have commercials from 50 years ago on an endless loop. Sometimes, for no reason at all, I'll hear

We are Santa's elves,
Filling Santa's shelves 
With a toy
For each girl and boy.
Oh, we are Santa's elves.

We work hard all day,
But our work is play.
Dolls we try out,
See if they cry out.
We are Santa's elves.

Does that help?

I exchanged a couple messages with Michelle on the following topic and it may be that this is something you may have already done.

I suspect that when our yearbooks were made that for every picture that made it in there were 10 that did not get in. What happened to those never published pictures ?

I would also imagine that many of our school events were photographed: ceremonies, proms, auditorium events, sporting events and more – are pictures available ?

I think it would be a huge gift to the alumni if we could make those pictures available on line. I’m not necessarily talking about digitizing which may be cost prohibitive – if digitalizing =’s no can do, then I’d be happy to take the lower quality / lower cost path of taking a picture of the pictures using a cell phone and saving / sharing those with our classmates. Something is better than nothing.

But maybe something like this has already been done ? Let me know.

Regards

Ralph Bennett

Hey Ralph, Thanks for reaching out. That is a really good question and I have pondered it myself a few times regarding Hockey Club photos as only a handful were in the yearbook. Kevin Mooney, If you are out there, you could probably shine a lot of light on Ralph's question. I could give Mr. Szalinski a call as he was the Art Director for the yearbook and may have at one time had the "cutting room floor" pics that didn't get used. Just speculating but he may have turned them over to the school when he retired.  Mr Cooper was the head of the Arrowhead Photo Staff & Camera Club as I remember. I can picture(no pun intended) a few of the Camera Club guys' faces but can't think of there names. Any of you guys out there? Looking at the yearbook now. Just remembered one... Ben Satow......he was a riot!

Thanks for sharing. Fritz Pollard was a real champion and this honor is well deserved and way overdue.

Michelle, That profile pic of you is exactly how I remember you from our days at Lane. You always knew how to laugh and find the humour in everything. Wonder what got you laughing here. Is this a Kevin Mooney picture capturing a moment?

Michelle Milkovic (Weiner)

That IS a Kevin O Mooney masterpiece... good eye Andrew!  I especially like the look of horror and amusement on David Pacheco's face.

And how about those Earth Shoes?!?!?!?!

Also congrats to Debbie Tono on the Lane alumni family wedding last weekend. 

Tell us about it Deb!

And, for those of us who were lucky enough to "procure" a key, those doors behind you led to ladders that went from floor to floor. Good way to avoid the crowds during passing periods!

Did you have Moon Boots to go with the Earth Shoes? Bet you have Crocs now! Birkenstocks?

Andrew Flor

Michelle, I am standing on a book The Complete Idiot's Guide to Starting Your Own Business right now to simulate the Earth Shoe which BTW I never wore a pair of.

I just added my Quickbooks for Dummies for more elevation at the toes which actually provides a nice stretch to my recently injured right knee. Thanks! LOL!

Bob, 100%. Just looked at my wife's Croc's and thought they looked familiar. I will not wear Croc's either!!!

I am loving all these posts about candy "Back in the Day". We had a little candy/food/novelty store around the block when I was a kid called "Nickels" (supposedly the store owners name). We would go there for the candy treats, rubber balls, caps for our cap guns, click-clacks, trading cards, etc. They had most of the candy treats that were mentioned here. Also, does anybody remember that raunchy "Birth of a Candy Bar" story that went around?  

I am actually getting a taste of retirement this summer because we have been on strike since May. It's another MFTE for me: My First Time Ever I have been on strike. I am enjoying my free time this summer as there are always lots of things going on around here over the summer. But I'm not ready to do the permanent retirement yet and I am looking forward to heading back to work soon.

Wow! Earth shoes! I remember PF Flyers (from Johny Quest). Also Easy walkers and Marshmallows.

And a note to a certain Lane 76'er: I am now on Book #9 of your series and I am LOVIN IT!

Wow, thank you Andrew, Robert and Georgette for your kind wishes and words! These birthdays keep coming by faster and faster, don't they? Our class needs to plan a get together sooner than the 50th class reunion. We have an amazing long time connection! Even though I rarely post, do read them all. Keep 'em coming!
