Looking Back at Hastings '66

Looking Back at Hastings '66

What's for lunch ?

On this day ... or thereabouts ... in 1966

Can you believe how small the village is ?!!!

On this day 50 years ago ... April 22 ...

On this day 50 years ago ... June 1 ...

THOSE WERE THE DAYS. (AT HASTINGS HIGH)
from the past reunion? ... written by whom? anyone know?

ONCE UPON A TIME THERE WAS A RUMOR
THAT HASTINGS' CLASS of '66 WAS CURSED.
CHRIS BREWER WAS THEIR TRUSTED LEADER,
IS THAT WHY '66 WAS CALLED "THE WORST"?

THOSE WERE THE DAYS MY FRIEND, WE THOUGHT THEY'D NEVER END
WE'D SING AND DANCE FOREVER AND A DAY.
WE'D LIVE THE LIFE WE CHOOSE, WE'D FIGHT AND NEVER LOSE,
FOR WE WERE YOUNG AND SURE TO HAVE OUR WAY. LA LA LA ...............

ONCE THEY TOOK A BUS TRIP TO NEW JERSEY,
PALISADE'S HAD RIDES TO MAKE YOU FAINT,
SEEMS THAT MANY CLASSMATES WERE ARTISTIC,
ESPECIALLY WITH PEANUT BUTTER PAINT!

THOSE WERE THE DAYS....................

ALL CONGRATULATIONS WENT TO LOLYA,
SHE BECAME THE FIRST FEMALE G.O. PREZ.,
ALL HER CLASSMATES GLADLY RALLIED 'ROUND HER,
SHE WAS THE BEST ONE - EVERYBODY SAYS.

THOSE WERE THE DAYS....................

ED AND FRAN WERE KNOWN AS SUPER ATHLETES,
BOB AND HOLLY FOR THEIR FRIENDLY SMILE,
RICHARD 'N DOROTHY VOTED AS BEST LOOKING,
AND BILL AND JILL WOULD DRIVE THEIR TEAXHERS WILD!

THOSE WERE THE DAYS MY FRIEND......
THOSE WERE THE DAYS.........!!!!!!!!

SENIOR YEAR THEY HEADED OFF TO WASHINGTON,
PEOPLE WOULD REMEMBER IT FOR YEARS!
SEEMS THAT OTTO HAD A "THING" FOR ICES CUBES,
WHAT WAS IT ON THE "GROOM" THAT DISAPPEARED?
(It is written "groom"- I do not remember what that meant, it could be "broom"???)

THOSE WERE THE DAYS .................

THEN THE BUSY YEARS WENT RUSHING BY THEM,
CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S REALLY TWENTY-FIVE.
NOW THEY'RE ALL TOGETHER HERE AT "RUDY'S",
AND YES, THEY ALL APPEAR TO BE ALIVE!!!!!!!

THOSE WERE THE DAYS MY FRIEND........
THISE WERE THE DAYS !!!!!!!!!!
