Is Miss Picker coming as well and the old car?

No. Prunette won't be joining us and the Model A isn't road worthy, yet. I'm
working on tires, tubes and liners. It'll be there in the summer... I think...

Being an independently wealthy musician has it's ups and downs and really
far downs...

I'll see you all tomorrow, or later today.

I'm excited that I can make it!

Soonergirl26, I'll call around 2pm.

Gen64 don't do anything to run (or scare) everybody off - no table dancing
this time...

Frisky, keep Gen64 in line. 78 don't do nuthin' dumb.

And whoever shows up, stick around!

Yeah, that's him. He used to work off duty at McDonald's at 59th & Penn..He sure did. He always chewed cigars. R.D. Taylor was one of the cops also. I worked there in 1970-71-72. I remember a big gang fight on night between Grant and C.H. It started across the street in the shopping center parking. It ended in the front lobby of McDonalds. I can't recall who won. You weren't there by chance were you?

There was a old sign pole with a sign on it seemed like it leaned to one side and I assume there was a business where it sits does anyone know what it was? It was on 25th street east of agnew about 1 block or 2 and sat if I remember right on the north east corner.

Todays get together at Coit's was superb! I found out that Rickster and I
went to grade school together! MrCrwth was there. I didn't realize that you
were from out of town. 78, SE76, Soonergirl, Gen 64, some others on the

It'w really hard to believe this thread has lasted as long as it has....79 pages????....Now, down to business...Did Grant have an automotive class in your days at Grant? And, was the rifle club still active?...I remember that they (the rifle club) practiced in the basement of Grant....

... Did Grant have an automotive class in your days at Grant? And, was the
rifle club still active? I remember that they (the rifle club) practiced in the

There was still Vocational Training in 1969. That's what the car shop was
called back then. It was the hardest class to get into.

I don't remember the Rifle Club. I never went to the basement.

Yes in fact I took auto mechanics in my junior year, the class was right south of the the auto paint and body class, we had a tool room where you had to check out the tools you needed and returned them to get them checked back off the list. The teacher was so cool, not a bunch of book work it was all hands on work with his guidance..it was a blast.

Our nine weeks test was a breeze, it was a verbal test:"WHERE DOES THE STEERING WHEEL GO, IN THE FRONT SEAT AREA OR THE BACK SEAT AREA".....the front seat!...."THATS CORRECT YOU MAKE AN A+"

As far as the rifle range, that was always a close guarded mystery. No one from our class even seen the basement. I always heard rumors of a swimming pool , but never really followed up on it. Was to busy chasing skirts back then!

Bummer :(

I won't be able to make the next meeting. Have to be in Tulsa on the 21st. I'll catch ya'll in April.

So everyone realizes the true fact.....when you were headed to the Gym/Cafeteria there was bathroom and then right next to it, there was a door that went to the basement. And, in the darkness of U.S. Grant Highschool there was a rifle range......Think you could have that now?.....You had to belong to the club and they shot .22 rifles only down there.....If you look at a Grant Yearbook from '66 back you'll see the kids in the Rifle club......

Bummer :(

I won't be able to make the next meeting. Have to be in Tulsa on the 21st. I'll

I enjoyed visiting old times with you. Too bad you're going to miss it.

I remember that door. Mr. Semrad used to duck into it and a few minutes
later a a masked man in a red union suit was sticking parking warnings and
those huge sheets of gluey paper on windshields.

Coincidence?

I think Mr. Manjaras was the Spanish teacher when I went to Grant. Have
you ever noticed we don't call it U.S. Grant?

Put me down for a locker handle! I think it'll make a nice hood ornament on
Prunette's car. I'll surprise her.

How many rivals can you remember?

Grant - Capitol Hill
Crooked Oak - Carl Albert

I remember the rifle club . I know it existed. It's just like the rocket club. 50'sss...thing.I know it existed. the swimging pool was the Y.M.C.A.. Just down the street.

The lunch was fun and alot of new people,hope to more next month.

50's... thing. I know it existed. the swimming pool was the Y.M.C.A... Just
down the street.

The school I graduated from had a rifle team. The rifles were high profile
target rifles. You could shoot the wings off a fly with them.

At our reunions, rifle shooting is one of the big things. I scored 100. I was
so proud. Got a trophy plaque and everything. My brothers and I enjoyed
shooting when we were kids. Dad would set up .410 casings - those are
small empty shotgun shells - and we'd shoot them with our .22's. We'd
shoot for hours and miss maybe once an hour, then we'd banter how
pitiful of shot the other was. HAHAHA!

I always wondered how Grant had a swimming team while we didn't have a
pool. DUH, the YMCA down the street. We were members there for a
while.

There is a picture of the rifle club in all 6 of my annuals. Hey, I presume you saw my "excuse slip" I wrote at eleven something Sat morning. All is cool now, the fight is over and...ahem....I won. :sofa:

years?

An excuse slip doesn't work without an authentically forged signature of
Everett Semrad.

Hey your first yearbook was probably done with Crayon correct????By the way, you don't win you let them win......all in how you look at it.....excuse slip????I didn't see a good excuse....by the way did you ever have classes over in the church across from the school??? and how long had the tent been down when you first started at Grant????

I started there in my 8th grade year, Grant's second. I THINK the tent was taken down before the first year was over, but I'm not positive, but the '56 and '57 yearbooks are both still called The Bigtop. They changed to The General after that. Prune, I have the yearbooks for for my 8th thru 12th years and I have the '61 which was my brother's for his Junior year but he gave it to me because he doesn't have a nostalgic bone in his body. He remember's Grant as the place he met his first of 5 wives and that is about it. Actually I made some side money forging Opal (I thinK) Littlefields signature on hall passes. She couldn't tell them from her own. I don't remember how I managed to get my hands on the blanks.

ATTENTION: Calling all people with memories (LOL!)......

I have heard that we may have some conflicts with having our next lunch on March 21st.... sooooo, any objections to moving it to March 28th?

SE-76.....what was it that you asked me to research for you?? I know it had something to do with Orville Moody playing golf at the old Capitol Hill Golf Course, but forgot exactly what you wanted me to try to find.
