Caution, there are a lot of picture on this page, so it make take forever to load if you have a dial up connection!  
Jimmy Knight has found that it is very easy for him to download a picture to his computer.  He can then send selected pictures directly to the nearest Wallgreen’s and they will print pictures at a discount.  Sounds like a good tip to me.   To download a picture, simply place your mouse over the picture and right click.  In the list displayed select either "Save picture as ..." or "E-mail picture..." and follow the dialogs presented.

A call to the Rally by Dianne (Haddle) Bridges

EVERYTHING OLD IS NEW AGAIN

 

 

Everything old is new again--
when we get together and friend meets friend,

As we reminisce about good times and bad,
and talk of the things that were really the "fad",

Like Levis and bobby socks, ballerina shoes,
 alum on your hair and crying the blues.

Remember the time when he took you for a spin,
 and all that he wanted was your heart to win,

Out in his Chevy or old beat up Ford,
 usually somewhere he couldn't afford.

Well, those were the days when a coke was a dime,
 a hamburger a quarter, a milkshake twenty-nine.

When Elvis was king and "Earth Angel" was grand,
Pat Boone wore white shoes writing "Letters in the Sand".

Now those times have changed and, my, we have too,
Wish we could go back and all be made BRAND NEW,
Like "back to the future"--a younger me and you!

But since we can't we'll do something much better,
When we have an old-time 50's get-together! 

So make your plans now regardless of weather,
to be with your classmates like "birds of a feather"
As we spread our wings and all flock together!

 

NOW COME ONE, COME ALL--
WE'LL HAVE A BALL,
AS WE GET TOGETHER----
NOW COME ON YA'LL!!
    

 

THERE WILL BE FUN, TRIVIA, 50'S MUSIC, AND MUCH MORE!!!

                    

Diane Haddle Bridges

 

A farewell to the Rally

Again We Meet


Across the wide Oceans of time

Come we to this place to remind.

Remembered faintly all those places;

Oh! the strain to recognize those faces.

Stopped here for a moment to share;

Then back we go to who knows where.

It seems a shame it must eventually end.

Closed... For some, never opened again
