Here is the picture of the white pantsuit with the green bicycles that I wore to Garrard County’s 1973 Pep Club Dance. After pulling out my book of memories, I was happy to read that it wasn’t the prom that I wore that ugly thing to, but it was the pep club dance…now I feel much better about myself!! LOL
The fellow in the picture that I was dancing with is Mike Davis. The other photo is my high school friend, Clelly Preston and me at the prom. We sure did wear some ugly clothes back then. It’s a good thing the picture isn’t very clear…kind of blurred or maybe just not good quality since it was taken with one of those instant print polaroid cameras. In case you can’t tell, that’s me on the left.
Here is the real scoop – actual entries of what I wrote back then about my high school days…
- “A slumber party at Sheryl Hall’s house. We really had a lot of fun. If we even tried to go to sleep, Jenny Merriman and Rita Sherrow put mustard or catsup in our hair. We took some pictures and tried on Dora Sue’s wig. A Great Party.”
- Senior Skip Day “One of the best days in my senior year. Sheryl Hall drove. The people who went were Dora Sue Stathers, Clelly Preston, Charlene Robinson, and me. (We went to Boonesboro State Park in Madison County) I took frozen hamburgers (I didn’t know that I should have thawed them). Me and Dora Sue played on the merry-go-round (remember-we were seniors!) and other things like that. We stopped at Howard Johnson’s to eat on our way back. Here’s a souvenier.” NOTE: I saved an empty sugar packet and taped it into my memory book!
- Staying after school to go to ballgames. “Clelly, Charlene and I went to a lot of football games (not to watch the game – of course!). The one that stands out the most is when me and Charlene thought we would be smart (by saving money) and bye (note spelling) a coke to take with us. Well when we got around to drink it, it was hot! and we couldn’t get any ice at the consession stand.”
- “Once we stayed after school and FROZE to death! We had to go over to the hospital to wait for the game cos we went to early. We wore boots and our feet FROZE! We had fun though. Very good memories!”
- “We did not have track at our school, but if there is a sport called walking we shore (note spelling again) done (can you tell grammar was my best subject in school) a lot of that! After school everybody would get in there cars and take off. Me, Clelly and Charlene would take off walking. It was a lot of fun!”
Well, at least I had a lot of fun in high school. From what I have been reading, it looks like I didn’t pay to much attention in Mrs. Jones English Class. The rest of the entries are about the same as far as the grammar, spelling and the all important fun times. I won’t bore you with the rest of the memories cos you would shore be jealous!
