I think the relationships are the most important---especially with the nicknames. How many people have nicknames today? Rip, Eli, Toad, Soup, Skiba, Muck, plus Joe, Nan, Linda, Susan, Marcia, Nancy, Martha, Carol, Jill, et al! Those who knew the following also can’t forget the “Portable Puff House”, the “One Tuners”, “There is Nothing Like a Dame”, “The Solid Gold Cadillac”, “More Than Meets the Eye”, Oogies, Hills, the Wigwam, the Igloo, Ralph’s Pool Hall, Knox’s, Ray’s, Norris Hall, The Snake Dance, Student Council, sports, band, Bill Ryan vs. Jesse fight at Marilla Park, Senior Picnic, 9 rahs for dear old Streator High…….(why 9?)
