Can You Recall??

***if you have any information to the following questions, please contact us

Can you recall... (make sure to read the last two, and most important questions about teachers at the bottom)

  1. Family Fun Night at Hyde Park School?  There are some memories of it being in the gym.  Maybe square dancing and a memory of a Sonny & Cher song?   Do you have any additional information?
  2. anything about Trick or Treat for Unicef? Click this for a history timeline and/or watch a short Youtube Video.
  3. "Paisley Day" where everyone wore paisley?  Steve Petersen remembers it well, he even wore a paisley shirt to school picture day!
  4. a United Way commercial with kids from our school (shot in the summer of 1972 after graduation) ?  It had the music from the coca-cola tune ":I'd like to teach the world to sing".  The only 2 memories are practicing on the playground of school & filming downtown in Garfield Park.  Do you have any other memories of it?
  5. a girl named Dorothy with pigtails that moved (maybe to Seattle?) before we graduated?  
  6. if there was a parade that Hyde Park School participated in that went down Erie Ave?  What holiday was it celebrating?
  7. the Hyde Park School Carnival that was held on the outside playground (the girl's side)?  What month was it held?  What other games besides winning a goldfish were there?  Tom Reynolds remembers the Withrow Marching Band playing the tune "25 0r 6 to 4" by Chicago (released in 1970).  Any other memories/photos?
  8. Potsy balloons with cardboard feet from Potter's Shoes on Hyde Park Square?
  9.  the proper spelling and/or the first name of any of the following teachers (listed in red below alphabetically)? Please check to see  IF you have any of your old report cards. Your teacher's full name can be found on the front of it.  
  10. any teachers that you had and AREN'T listed below?  Please contact us with as much information that you remember.
