Michael "Mike" Joseph Kent (1977)

I found the box score from the 1977 semifinal basketball game WHS and Fort Worth Dunbar. The Cardiac Cats almost pulled off another upset. Joe Costello didn’t have a great day from the field but dominated the boards pulling down 18. Eric Buescher had 21 and Neal Howard 12. That was an awesome playoff run. Will always remember it. See below

Does anyone have any information about Joan Burton (Burton Kid) ?  She was a great English teacher.

I had Ms. Burton too, and she was a great teacher.  I'm friends with one of her friends, Sandra Shelton.  I'll reach out to her to see if she knows anything about Joan.  Rusty Russey 74

Kimberle "Kim" V. Geary (1972)

I had Ms. Burton for English. We loved her. She was super cool and a great teacher. I remember we were reading Melville and always trying to interpret everything. She said "REPEAT AFTER ME, THERE ARE NO HIDDEN MEANINGS". A few years later I was at a small dinner party with her. Of course a little bit star struck but she was cool and made me feel comfortable.

My sister, Susan Godwin (Wardlaw), 1972, passed last September.  I think she went by Susie in High School.

Rob Fricke (1971)

Hi, folks.

Rob Fricke here. Class of '71.

Ran across memorabilia from our high school days. Somehow I ended up with the galley proofs for our parody news magazine "El Grosso". I think this is from our creative writing class senior year in 1971. Who are all those kids? That's me kneeling front left. Check out the spoof date February 30, 1984!

Here's a --> LINK <-- to the whole magazine. Fun to read and remember.

Cheers to all.

Hi, friends.

Rob Fricke, class of '71, here.

Also ran across that amazing photo of our whole graduating class. I remember when we took the photo. Chaos getting us all arranged on the bleachers. And we were suppose to hold still while the camera panned across us all. As I recall, someone started on one end and then, while the camera panned, trotted to be included in the photo at the other end. At least, that's the lore. True? Good story, anyway. How many were we? 750ish?

Here's a --> LINK <-- for you to download the photo if you want to look for your former self and friends.

Have fun!

Cheers ...

Thanks for posting the "el Grosso." Lord Crawdad loved the amazing parody - I wished I'd seen it 50 years ago! 🤣

Hi, Rob,

Thanks for posting those photos!  Lyda, as you have requested, I am bringing the long class photo to reunion that I had framed a few years back.  It will be on our memorabilia table.  All memorabilia contributions are welcome!

Rob, I hope you will sign up for our 50th Reunion.  Although I didn't know you in high school, that I recall, it sounds like you knew quite a few people!

I look forward to seeing everyone at our Reunion!

Happy to see my dear brother, Steve Mason ('71), captured for posterity in the El Grosso staff photo.  Steve passed away on August 30, 2017, after a long illness. My sisters and brother and I miss him every day.

My brother, Dale Kearney (1971) passed away peacefully at his home in Jacksonville, Texas on Friday, September 30, 2022.  I'm not sure if he kept up with any of his classmates after graduation, but thought I would post this here just in case.
