I had chorus just before lunch. I never thought I would forget the teacher's (man) name, but I have). I said something smart to him and he literally chased me down the hall. I ran into the girl's counselor's office and he was hot on my trail. He told her to give me (so many) swats with the paddle. Of course, she was a bit flustered as was I. She gave me a stern lecture but never did smack me with the paddle. He kicked me out of his class and I had to spend that period at the swimming pool as well as my lunch period and my next class was P.E. So guess where I spent that. (AT THE POOL). Such discipline. -Shirley SHERWOOD Milani ('62) ************************************************************* ************************************************************* >>From: Bill SCOTT ('64) Re: Dime Store in Uptown http://richlandbombers.com/gallery/0000s/UptownTourP.html There was a dime store in the Uptown shopping center, though I can't remember its name. It was very near the south end of the center, just north of the alley that went down the middle of the center. It was next to, or nearly next to, a Montgomery Ward catalog store, and, as the buildings were two stories at that part of the center, underneath the old Social Security office, where my sister and I received our first SS cards. [It was McKay's FIRST... changed later... My Mom always called it "The Tenny". -Maren] -Bill SCOTT ('64) ************************************************************* ************************************************************* >>From: Carol CONVERSE Maurer (Magic Class of '64) Re: Diamond Variety Store: I don't remember that store at all and the picture that Maren put up isn't what I remember it looking like. I remember it was right across the street from CC Anderson. I remember walking to that store alot. I think that someone mentioned years ago about it burning down, but don't remember if it was rebuilt or not. I can picture the whole area like it was yesterday. Will have to take a drive over there someday soon and check the area out. [That '44 picture... the store couldn't have even been opened yet... no sign... and no grass planted yet on the GREENway. I don't remember going in that store, but, yes, just right across the street from C.C. Andersons. The name of that store was Diamond 5 Cent to 1 Dollar Store -Maren] Was sad to read about Tastee Freeze going out of business, but sounds as the new owners are very sensitive about the change. Glad to hear they will still have the soft serve cones. -Carol CONVERSE Maurer (Magic Class of '64) ~ Kennewick still very nice weather. ************************************************************* ************************************************************* >>From: Linda REINING ('64) Re: P.E. I am not sure if we walked from Carmichael to the "big pool", but I know we did at Col-Hi... I always ended up with morning P.E. and would have "bad hair" for the rest of the day... I always had perms, so forget about having a nice "hair day". And, it WAS P.E., so no just "lazing" in the pool, you had to swim, unless it was "that time of the month", then you still had to put on your bathing suit but you didn't have to get in the water. We also had to take showers, during P.E. 5 minutes to shower, dress and then get to the next class. I don't remember having to take P.E., after our Sophomore year... it was mandatory for Sophomores, but I think it was an elective for Juniors and Seniors. [I remember all that, too, Linda, but from Col-Hi... never from Carmichael... I think a trek from Carmichael would have been unfeasible. I always envied those who had 6th period P.E. when I had it 1st and then "pool hair" the rest of the day. I suspect others are remembering Col-Hi as well. -Maren] Re: Sewing I took Home-Ec the three years at Carmichael and my Sophomore year at Col-Hi. I remember our first sewing project, in 7th grade, was to make a skirt... she took our waist measurement, then told us how much material we would need for either a gathered skirt or a pleated one. My mom took me to Newberry's, I think I bought one yard of material, and I chose to make a gathered skirt, cause those pleats had to be one inch apart and that was just too time-consuming for my liking. The gathered skirt was done using two rows of basting stitches, then you had to carefully pull those threads to gather the skirt-IF one of those stitches broke, you had to start all over, again. We used the sewing machine for the basting stitches. Those who chose to make pleated skirts had to pleat their skirts, by hand. Then we made the waistband and sewed it to our finished skirt. In 9th grade, I remember we had a fashion show-we "paraded" our sewing projects on the stage in the auditorium-some girls made PJs (even "baby dolls"), others made dresses, skirts or blouses. We also learned cooking, but, for the most part, I thought that was a HUGE waste of time... most of us, by the time we were in 7th grade knew the basics of cooking and/or baking, so all the "prep" work that we had to do, was boring. -Linda REINING ('64) ~ Kuna, ID ************************************************************* ************************************************************* >>From: David RIVERS ('65) Re: checking in Thanks to all for checking on me yesterday morning. Jimmy HEIDLEBAUGH ('65), big Fred was one of the officers on the scene... he is fine... I avoid huge crowds like that and the strip in particular... Last year totally confirmed it for me as I went over to that concert to have lunch with Erin, Terry DAVIS' ('65) lady for many years and her son... they were there last year as the boy is a TV actor and some of the bands invited them... took forever just to meet them for lunch and I knew I would not be attending that concert in the future... Bob Spina, one of the Rat Fink artists from Vegas said he could hear the shooting at his shop a few miles away... My daughter goes to many large concerts like that one in Vegas and elsewhere (tho not country)... she was at one last week... now I will worry every time from now on... I had so much more to share but my mind is blank right now... I can say that the rooms for those kind of events are pretty much sold out a year in advance... to get the strategic suite this guy had, would have to be reserved well in advance... thanks again for all your thoughts and prayers... I love you all. -David RIVERS ('65) ************************************************************* ************************************************************* >>From: Terry DAVIS Knox ('65) To: Dale ENNOR ('59) Thanks, Dale, but that's not the sign-off theme music I remember for KORD RADIO every day. It was a very simple, slow piano phrase: Da da da dum dum Something like that, but thank you. -Terry DAVIS Knox ('65) ************************************************************* ************************************************************* >>From: Joleen RANK Johnson ('68) Re: Newberry's I so remember the fabric section at Newberry's along with the Home Ec sewing project. I picked a red flecked material and to this day I remember what a disaster it was. I knew how to sew and made a lot of my clothes, but I had learned from my mother and therefore used ALOT of shortcuts. Zipper not properly put in - never could understand WHY one had to use those extra steps that the teacher insisted on!! I still love to sew and have 2 machines that I use. I have fond memories of living in Richland and was so upset when my father's job took the family to Arizona for my senior year. I so enjoy reading everyone's submissions. -Jo RANK Johnson ('68wb) ************************************************************* ************************************************************* That's it for today.
