04/04/09 06:37 PM #275     Fred Boston A.The one that is starting to effect me is going to Wal-Mart just so I can go down the candle isle and smell the Hazlenut candles. B.Then comes making up things you buy so you can --- you got it, refer to A above.

04/04/09 06:42 PM #276     Jerry Stephens Hey Cliff, Congrats on the new grandson. I hope the mother and baby is doing great! Also the grandparents! For MH Why did you go all the way to the Hornet's Nest for a drag. There was always lots of cigs in the Boy's bathroom next to the stairs in JH.

04/04/09 10:17 PM #277     Aliece Sefcik (Lowe) Wow! Some ol' geezers woke up while I was gone! It is a relief that FB does not have ED but enjoys sniffing hazelnut candles...hmmmm....and according to MN, MH has ED but we don't know what kind it is yet, as his list of ED descriptions continues to evolve and unfold! We may find out when he wakes up again! Who out there was in Marjorie Brewer's 5th grade class with me? I cannot find pictures except for 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade. She wrote and published a book of patriotic poems and gave us copies (for Christmas?).

04/05/09 08:15 PM #278     Beverly Burrow (Golden) Anyone remember: HMS Pinafore production in 5th grade? Harmonica choir with Mrs. Sponholtz (6th grade??) Anyone still play harmonica? Summer theater classes at school with the Clarks (after 7th grade?)

04/05/09 08:43 PM #279     Joe Don Morris Yes, I had a solo in the HMS Pinafore. I kept hoping God would just take me away.

04/05/09 09:17 PM #280     Michael Henthorn Remember Mr. Wynn's "Chorus" in the 3rd and 4th grade? We all had to try out in front of the rest of the class....pretty scary stuff back then. I remember Mark Degge's tryout. He was perfectly on key, but an octave lower than he was supposed to be. Mr. Wynn tried to get him to sing higher and Mark could not or would not do it. We all got uncontrollably tickled and Mal Wynn got purple and went appoplectic. Mark, you were always the unparalleled rebel leader of the class.

04/06/09 10:18 AM #281     Mark Degge Mike...........it's funny that you remember that day in Mr. Wynn's choir class. I do remember that day and a couple of others like it. I guess I've always had a little problem with authority and have also had a knack for making teachers extremely angry with me. What can I say.....it's a gift!

04/06/09 10:27 AM #282     Sharon Stout (Curry) Becky sang "I'm little buttercup, poor little buttercup, and I could never say why." What does that have to do with HMS pinafore? Good job though, Becky. I was a sailor, where were all the guys when I had to do that?

04/06/09 11:22 AM #283     Kelly Ewen Draft numbers. Johnny Stringer, Fred Evans, Mac Devin, and I were on 4 South in Carpenter Hall at TT. We were glued to the radio. Silence was deafening. The first sound was after #7 was announced and we heard "Oh My God, that's my number.” The first one of us four to receive a number was Fred Evans with #10. Mine was #72 and I knew I was "toast". I took a ROTC scholarship that summer because I knew I was going, I needed the scholarship money, and I decided it would be better to go as an officer. Kennedy’s assassination. I was Mrs. Cruce’s English class, Coach John Lantz came and told us because the PA was not working in that classroom. Mrs. Cruce thought Coach Lantz might be joking and she was not happy with him. Updates. Richard Souter died of cancer. His wife Terri,(second) teaches school in Bushland. I was up in the area once reading the Amarillo paper and Don Compton was inducted to the Texas High School Hall of Fame for his work as a football coach in Hereford.

04/06/09 01:31 PM #284     Judy Gunnels (Love) Sharon, I also was a sailor and I think we were sunflowers or something like that also.I'm with you where were all the guys.

04/06/09 05:16 PM #285     Charlotte Grantham (O'Daniel) There is so much going on here, I can't keep up.... Roland, some hair has been lost on some of these guys. Check out the pictures! Sharon, I too was a sailor or butterfly or something. I sure didn't have a solo like Becky and Joe Don. Bev, I had my harmonica up until a few years ago. I could still play one song---can't remember (got ED) what it was. I remembered how to clean the spit out though--- BD, I think you could write a book on the varieties of ED. It would be a top seller. I had not realized how tramatic the draft was then. I bet there was a lot of "celebrating/or not" after that. Anyone remember being a teacher for the day? Or having one of us as the teacher for the day?

04/06/09 10:55 PM #286     Ka Hughes (Wilfong) Char- Yes, I remember getting to teach in HS for Coach Roberts. I did not have to do any lesson plans because he let me have all of his notes for the lesson. Remember "all" of those notes? I think he used the same ones for twenty years. Basketball class was a breeze because I did not have to work out. I got to be in charge. Who would have guessed that so many of us would actually become teachers. It just took me a little longer than the rest of you. Ka

04/07/09 12:35 AM #287     Fred Boston I remember that play, I was the admiral of the queen's navy. I also had a solo and had to wear a funny hat. And Ka, it took me the longest to become a teacher. Seven years ago I taught Automechanics to a class of boys and girls in the San Angelo Christian Homeschool Association. The main thing I taught them was how to keep from getting killed while working on a car.

04/07/09 09:21 AM #288     Cliff Freeman Coach Jimmie Keeling is still coaching as the Head football coach-Hardin Simmons University in Abilene. Mom & Dad see him at church on Sundays.

04/07/09 12:00 PM #289     Kenneth Bean I was in Coach Robert's History Class after lunch. I loved him dearly, but more that once I'd take a nap in his class. Once I woke up and he was on question #3 of a pop test. It is really difficult to casually get out a piece of paper during a pop quiz. I think he had given it just for my benefit. Mr. Wynn's Choir, I remember C.E. tried out in the 4th grade and got in and it seems like Mark brought him up to a vein poping boil at least once a week.

04/07/09 01:48 PM #290     Charlotte Grantham (O'Daniel) Update: Jan Wilkerson Phillip's dad, John Wilkerson passed away yesterday. The service is Thursday at 11:00 at Kornerstone Funeral Home in Tulia. Jan, we are praying for you and your family during this very sad time......Blessings.

04/07/09 02:50 PM #291     Ka Hughes (Wilfong) Jan, I was so sad to hear of your Dad's passing. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Hug your Mom for me. Ka

04/08/09 09:44 AM #292     Jann Cawthon (Webb) Ya'll have sure been busy while I was away. I went to Granbury to babysit some grandkids and to Childress to take care of some property (that I am trying to get rid of!). Too bad I wasn't in elementary school with you guys! Sounds amazing! Anyone know Jack Sanders? I think he graduated a year before us. He has a pic posted on his classmates.com page. I was trying and trying to recognize him when I finally noticed he graduated in '68! BD, don't get me started on the ED - all the drugs I've taken since my car wreck, I'm not sure I know my name some days. I'm going back to Weatherford Friday - another grandgirl was 5 today and she's having a party. I'm either going to Denton or Childress again after that. I'm a traveling woman....

04/09/09 11:28 AM #293     Sharon Stout (Curry) Who helped me steal the big swinging "we gvie S&H green stamps" and put it in front of the funeral home on saturday night right there on dip street? Old blue had a hard time with that one. Sure made church the next morning full of comments.

04/13/09 09:41 PM #294     Beverly Burrow (Golden) Sharon, I wasn't around for that escapade...but I can sure imagine the Sunday morning comments! It's just funny to remember savings stamps, too. I do remember a rowdy spring night at the end of 8th grade when many of us were loose in the neighborhood, on foot, playing murder in the dark or something, and you ran into a telephone pole grounding wire. You had a diagonal bruise across your entire face!

04/13/09 11:07 PM #295     Michael Henthorn Okay Aliece....things have gotten a little too tame, so it's time for another ED update. This was told to me as a true story by a guy I use to work for at IBM. He is several years older than me, retired and living in the mountains of New Mexico with his much younger fourth or fifth wife. Seems at his advanced age, he was having trouble with the much televised version of ED. Because of other medical problems, he was afraid to take the commonly advertised remedies. He began to fear that his young wife would eventually divorce him and charge him with assault with a dead weapon. Anyway, through the friend of a friend, he heard about this old Apache medicine man who was achieving miraculous results in curing ED. He went to visit the old medicine man on the reservation just outside of Mescalero. After he explained what he was there for, the old man started chanting and mixing up this potion with ingredients from an old trunk. When he finished, he told my friend to take 1 tablespoon full of the potion and count 1..2..3 and he would be more manly than he had ever been. He would be able to perform for as long as he wanted. My old buddy got so excited he started to take some right then and there, but the old medicine man warned him to wait until he got home to try it. My friend asked him if there were any side effects and when would the potion stop working. The old Apache assured him that there were no side effects, and the potion would only stop working when his partner said "1..2..3..4". He told him to be careful though, because once the elixir's effects were stopped, they would not work again until the next full moon. My buddy sped home and showered, shaved and put on his bathrobe. After he took a spoonful of the potion, he called his latest young wife into the bedroom and announced it was way past time for a night of intimacy. He said "1..2..3", threw open his robe and sure enough he was more ready than he had ever been in his life. His bride got so excited she started ripping off her clothes then jumped on the bed and said "this is amazing, but what was the 1..2..3 for?" And that, fellow classmates, is why Eula Sharp tried to impress upon us never to end a sentence with a prepostition. Kinda' give a whole new meaning to the term dangling participle don't it?

04/13/09 11:18 PM #296     Ka Hughes (Wilfong) Bid Dad Only you could come up with something like that!!! I am glad the pony tail is gone though! (your Mom told me Sunday) It is amazing the effects our grandchildren have on us. mommaka

04/14/09 01:51 PM #297     Jann Cawthon (Webb) Big D, you had me going there for a bit! Crazy, you are! Amazed, I am! I don't remember you being that funny in high school - maybe we didn't have any classes together... I'm in Granbury again - gonna stay another week. Miss you guys and church. Went to my daughter's church Sunday and they did this amazing thing called "cardboard testimonies". You should looke them up on youtube. Quite touching! I don't think there was a dry eye in the place.

04/14/09 09:02 PM #298     Michael Henthorn OK....Mr. Wynn's choir. This is my best guess.
