Mary Lynn- Thank you for all the work you have done over the years making our reunions happen.  I also know you have some great helpers in former classmates and I look forward to being at the 50th reunion.  As we all get older, it is good to have an opportunity to visit with the friends of our younger days.  Thanks again for all your hard work.  Wayne Criswell

Okay, I forgot! What year was Thurza McCollum our English teacher? I think the eleventh grade.

Okay!  Here's a challenge!

 

Maximize this list of dirty deeds played on various teachers, especially poor Mr. Creel  (We were MEAN to that man!!!)  I remember him well...and still carry a bit of guilt regarding my participation in the following:

 

1.  Creel

Under the cover of darkness, I think on a Halloween night, a huge firecracker exploded on the sidewalk at his residence.  (It was about the equivalent of a stick of dynamite!)  He related the next school day that it shook him out of his bed.  Poor man!

 

2  Creel

On film day, the projector mysteriously slid backwards far enough to jam the take-up reel on the front of the table and the whole film ended up in a pile in the floor...a pile through which we bad boys all walked on the way out of class.  Poor man!

 

3  Cason

On signal, the entire class would start lowering their voices to a whisper.  She would reach into her blouse and adjust her hearing aid volume.  Then we talked very loud and watched her flinch!  Oh, we were mean!

 

4  Creel

If I recall correctly, someone ordered a large quantity of foodstuffs to be delivered to his home...C.O.D.!   Poor man!

 

5  General

Walter Weathers was good at (and taught us the art of) sending soft pats of butter straight up to the ceiling in the cafeteria...using a folded napkin as a launch mechanism.  I don't know how many grease spots we inflicted on the ceiling tiles.

 

I just KNOW that some of you can add to this list!  Harold maybe?

Mr Creel was just one of nature's victims.  Even the  teachers did not like him.  He was weak and not really clever.   I remember Fred Davidow (who was really smart as well as one hell of a sandlot football player ) corecting him on several occasions.

Also as I remember, showing weakness to the male members of the class of 61 was like bleeding in front of a shark.  Fortunately  for me, nerdhood was tolerated.

Did you notice that Willard"s bio slipped in that he was Delta Force.  These people are the Elite of the Elite.  When I was  complaining bitterly when the carrier ran out of ice cream, he was boots on the ground face to face with some really evil people. 

Sam Baker noted in passing that he was an F4 Marine Combat pilot.  This is a job which takes a lot of  skill and courage.  a lot!! (like in a really whole bunch) 

These  guys did things routinely which would have made me wet my pants.    I may wet my pants now but only with a really hard sneeze.

You are entirely correct.  I appreciate every person that has ever served in the US Armed Forces. Freedom is to die for!  I support the military now by engineering facilities they need to carry out their mission.  That is still NOTHING compared to strapping on weapons and trying to kill the enemy before he kills you in a fire zone.

 

Thanks to all veterans and those who've died in service...especially to those from Greenville High School.

Just a thought.. why don't each one of us that are on line.. take a minute and pick one

classmate that does not show attending or shows not able to be contacted and see if we can at least contact them and give them the opportunity to join us at the reunion..some may not even know...  just a thought..anyway i am going to pick one and try to find and advise of the reunion.. may be the last time we get to see each other...

PS I usually don't watch a lot of movies.. but being kind of an entertainer I watched

Burlesque.. (my wife is a Cher fan).. I was very impressed with the singing and dancing

you might want to watch it... Jerry

Ditto on the movie comment. It is worth the price.

I have tried googling their names...generally takes me to the same site that wants to charge
.75 dollars per search.

In response to Jimmy Hawkins' message of 1/2/2011, Thyrza McCollum was the 9th grade English teacher.  She was an inspiration to me & I had a lot of respect for her.  She taught many life's lessons to us 9th graders.

Mary Lynn & reunion Team,

What a great job !  Thanks hardly covers it. This was the first reunion I have

been able to attend, but I can't imagine that the others were comparable.

Seeing school friends that were so near and dear, (and still are), touched

my heart, Jerry was the iceing on the cake.

Mary Lynn and Reunion Committee:

Thank you so very, very much for the most wonderful weekend I have had in quite some time.  It was so good to see everyone and how well our class "turned out" over the years.  I was most impressed with the longevity of marriages.  It was wonderful to hear the memories of our deceased classmates.  I enjoyed visiting with each of you and your spouses were so great to let you come alone or to come with you.

What great memories I stored this weekend.
