Thank you for posting these memories. Especially the Lucille Ball Carol Burnett one. Loved both of them. Two of the funniest ladies on TV. And the westerns too. My favorite was Bat Masterson. They don't make TV shows like these any more. Most of my TV watching is on the cable channels. Thanks again for these.

The question about the Sundies place across from the school bothers me as we lived directly across from the school on 55th and went in there all the time. My dad knew the owners. I hadn't realized till just now that it had been so long since I logged in and checked us out. Been busy moving and school I guess.

In the 50's there was the 4th Street Drive-in. It was around 70th Ave N on the east side of 4th Street.

Don't forget Tom Stovall, I'm not sure what all he did, but I know he was involved in the movie Silkwood.

OMG, now the names become familiar. My brain cells had shut down there for awhile. Yes I do remember David. I would ocassionally see his name on TV but haven't for sometime now. I had forgot about the other notable production. Being involved that senior year in a small way with the Drama Club was the best of time. I believe it was the beginning of curing me of my shyness back then. Having to get up on a stage in front of a crowd was scary but I survived it. Could face most anything after that. HA HA!

RE: drama club

2010-02-10T12:49:13-04:00

We had quite a few talented classmates and near-classmates who went on to careers or, avocations, in the biz. Who else can we name?

RE: drama club

2010-02-10T12:45:18-04:00

Robert Challener ran the drama department, and Dale Stonecipher did all the choral / music, etc. My sister Dona (class of '64) and I are still in touch with Mr. "C" and he's still going strong... living in Connecticut, I think. I've sent him a few pictures of my community theatre productions over the years and he always replies. He actually wrote a book about "Theatre in the Round". He was very innovative for a high school teacher. Remember he staged arena-productions with about 100 seats ON THE auditorium stage, and the playing area was only about 10x20-feet wide. The first-row of audience was only about 2-feet away from the actors. Another British comedy we did was "SEE HOW THEY RUN" .. about a Vicar and his American wife. I started my career as a character actress playing Miss Skillon ! David Rupprecht (class of '66?) was in our drama classes... and went on to a pretty successful TV career.

Okay, so you were an actor, now who was the director of that production? I believe it was Ms. Hoban (maybe?) Go Vikings!!!!!

RE: drama club

2010-02-09T20:17:12-04:00

Hadn't thought of Bye Bye Birdie in a while. I was in that one, I was the Mayor's wife. What fun!

RE: drama club

2010-02-05T18:19:33-04:00

Okay, we are now into the Drama Club. Who was the director of the Club? I believe it was a female ??

RE: drama club

2010-02-05T18:17:59-04:00

Okay, that was The Mouse That Roared. Funny!! I think it originally starred, in the film maybe, Peter Sellers ?? It was silly but so much fun! Yes, no small parts just small actors. :-)

RE: drama club

2010-02-05T17:53:29-04:00

Actually, I was in that one! Remember, there are no small roles, only small actors!

RE: drama club

2010-02-05T17:52:37-04:00

If I were to give you a mousey answer to this one, you would certainly roar at me!

Love number 41. So true. Just watch the news sometime.

I can still remember most of the songs from that musical. "Why can't kids be like we were, perfect in every way? What's the matter with kids today?" "Put on a happy face!" What a great time! There was another production we did too. It involved a tiny nation declaring war on the US and then asking for aid when it surrendered. It was a short little play. Can't remember the name of that one. Anyone out there got any ideas? I have hit a brick wall!

The McDonalds and the 7-11 were on 62nd across the street from Grandway. I think the McDonalds is now a restaurant of some kind and there is a Subway and an Amscot where 7-11 was.

Oh yes, the wonderful Madras shirts!! Had several of them. The "coolest" wore them. As for Penny Loafers, also had several pairs of those. Remember the shirts with the little loops in the back? Now those were the "thing". I actually still have one in the closet. Okay, laugh! Also the Velour shirts. I have one in the closet that was given to me for Christmas either in junior of senior year. Loved that thing. It is Bright Red and still wearable. Okay, that is weird I know! The McDonald's I remember, now someone help us with the location. Remember walking over to GrandWay, where the Winn Dixie, Rutland plaza is now. Shopped over there all the time. And of course, there was Gateway Mall over on 9th.
