Our Memories |

There are so many memories from high school that are special to me: Strazi's on Saturday afternoon with your hair in curlers so everyone knew you had a date, Pretty Place on the levee, Lake Ferguson - swimming at the Burdine's and the ski ramp that I never would try !!! The BIG sand bar that you could actually drive to, Miller's Bend, Quongs to play the pin ball machines (the beginning of video games!!!), Senior Girl parties with cucumber sandwiches, senior privilages - being able to leave for lunch, some of the best teachers, Mrs. McCollum, Mrs. Webb, and Mr Bennett. Oh the memories !! |

"Back in the day" is a buzz phrase used by young people these days. Well, I got to thinking about our high school years and, back in the day, do you remember that John Fred And His Playboy Band played for the GHS graduation dance and or junior-senior prom (not sure which event it was) in 1968 at the American Legion Hall on Highway 1 North? If your date was a GHS student you could get in, however I know that many St. Joe High students got in that did not have Greenville High student dates. That was a great dance due in part to the big crowd of students plus the fact that the band sounded great and was very popular then having released several national single record hits including "Judy In Disguise", and "Agnes English". (I still have the album with those songs on it.) Alcohol was strictly forbidden but students got around that as usual. I remember that many of them were 'tore up from the floor up" before they even went inside the building. That was a wild, fun night that I will never forget. |
