HomeMy WebLinkAboutIMAGINE Vol. 7A&M Consolidated High Schaol Reunian 1460 - 1469 E1~ILS ~4RE FLYING, CELL PHONES ~E RINGING; THE QUESTION IS WHAT ARE YOU WEARING? The standard attire at our first reunion in '75 was striped cotton shirts, jeans, sandals and long hair....for the guys. Gals wore the same yet opted for butterfly blouses. A few years later, I bought a $600 beaded black silk eve- ning dress and designed the whole reunion around the ball room at the Hilton. I was miserable. Around our 25th reunion, the beading adorned cotton tropi- cal culottes with tennis shoes and long gaudy earrings....scary! Afew reunions later and my trifocal vision has blurred the images of my more recent fashion statements....thank goodness! Now, an occasional nightmare brings back the foundation garments and sensible saddle oxfords foisted upon me by the blue haired ladies at Lester's Smart Shop and Edge's. This time, I am opting for cool, casual and comfort able. I hope you will, too. And remember, souls never wrinkle. RSVP BY EMAIL FOR $25 PER PERSON PAYABLE AT THE DOOR OR BY PAYPAL TO LWINK2C@AOL.COM. ADMISSION AT THE DOOR WITHOUT RSVP WILL BE ,~.

The emails, letters and photos we are receiving are a very poignant depiction of a time that affected all of us in some way. Ws are also ask- ing you ro let us know if you have family members serving now. We really do appreciate you coming forward to share this part of your- selves with us. Please continue to send information to the guys below: Allan Riggs (riaa~ s~juno.com), Bill Braddy (bbradd knology.net) Steve Henry(tamu1971@msn.com) And please keep all of our service- men and women in your prayers. ~E US YOUR BEST SHAT! Rather than hiring a photogra- pher, Iwould like for everyone to bring their cameras to help document our events. Afterwards, please send your best shots to Project HOLD via CD or email. In order to put them into our files we need 300 dpi, at least, and TIFs are preferred but not re- quired. As soon as we put them on- line, we'll send the word out. That way, everyone gets to enjoy the weekend many times over. Trust me, next time I will auction off the teachers as a fundraiser! I've only had to send one or two students to detention for fighting over their favorite teacher. With the response we have had to this added feature, the teachers will not be left alone for a minute.

Check out some of the recent additions to the website. On the home page, select: Take me to the Archives! Then go to Education/Grade School/A&M CHS/Yearbooks folder. If you want to print out photos, type in the "page to page" and click on the Adobe PDF icon. Then print. It's best to increase the size of the page first and then PDF one page at a time. If you want to print just one section of the PDF, use the camera button to select the portion of the page you want. The section will flash and be copied onto your clipboard. Open Photoshop and select "new" and then "paste". Or, just paste into a Word document for printing. Email me if you have any problems. "Scenes of the Sixties", our exhi- bition of photos and memorabilia, is up and already causing quite a stir at the College Station Conference Cen- ter. Emily Johnson, Project HOLD in- tern and soon to be enrolled at the Bush School at TAMU, was a major help in formatting the photos and arranging the cases. Thanks to all of you who have generously allowed us to borrow your treasures for the ex- hibit. Thank goodness there are still a few pack rats among us. Who would have thought that a little heart shaped place card would foretell the future of Linda Bloom and Russ Harvell? Who ever thought that hip hugger bell bottoms would come back once, twice, even three times as a fashion statement? Who is it that tells the next generation what to write in an autograph book? I had never seen a megaphone cover until Sherry Smith brought hers to the Project HOLD office. There are Kennedy, Nixon and LBJ campaign buttons, opera length white gloves, and a twirler's charm bracelet. We have a driver's ed handbook, a driving test, and a first traffic ticket. The owner was caught running a red light at Jersey and Dexter after school by none other than Officer Bird. (You know who you are!) We have a Clairol hot roller set, a table side juke box, A8~M football programs (one signed by Randy Mat- son), and A&M v. t.u. tickets. There are cheerleader sweaters, a Bengal Belle uniform, and even a Kittens cheerleader uniform. There are roller skates, jacks, and a gum wrapper chain. We have photos of the A&W, Handy Burger, Ralph's and Tastee Freeze. We have even more items but we just ran out of room. The exhibit will be at the Conference Center through December. We will have a display table at the reunion events for more viewing. There will be several scrapbooks and many more pieces of memorabilia that we hope will bring back the good memories from days gone by. SEE ANYONE YOU KNOW?
