Get ready for this......The Al Good Orchestra played in April 2009 at the Oklahoma City Festival of the Arts.....Saw them....Gary was there and so was another real old timer......Miss Don Todd and Al Good. Stopped by his office one time and bought a large group of Band instruments....The Valve Trombone I bought ($10.00) was made in 1940 per serial numbers on the horn along With Al's initials...but, I played that horn all though Highschool.....How's that for a coincidence......

Are you admitting you do blow???

Are you admitting you do blow???

with the best of them......I even practice...take it how you want but you know what I mean. One thing about being a Jock or a musician is you eventually have to quit playing contact sports but, YOU NEVER have to quit music. Most Jocks can't remember the playbooks from highschool but EVERYONE in Band can still read music....HMMMMMMMMMMM...see ya next time:...Generals64....

Don't forget to bring a hat and plume tomorrow, '64. Large.

I have found a bunch of old GENERALS on facebook recently it is pretty cool

If they are on facebook they are either under 18 or gay...........

Maybe both...............

Wait! You said "Generals" so they are probably over 18.............

Hey! Generals64 & USG '60, '64 spoke of a rifle club at Grant when he was going to school there. '60 was it there when you were a student? Both of you elaborate on it please.

I wasn't in the rifle club, but their pictures are in the annuals. I'll bring them AGAIN to the next meeting.

I was wondering if anyone remembers the electricity teacher at Grant in 70? His name was Mr. Williams and he was the first black teacher at Grant.

I was wondering if anyone remembers the electricity teacher at Grant in 70? His name was Mr. Williams and he was the first black teacher at Grant.I had him for a class or two.

He gave hard swats...

He would use free student labor to install wiring on wiring jobs he got payed for.

I can tell you knew him, I cut a deal with him a few times.

I can tell you knew him, I cut a deal with him a few times.I got busted for smoking in class one day. I will tell the story at the next meeting if anyone wants to hear it.

While in class, one of the other idiots in my class shorted out the electric for half of Grant H. S. It was out for two weeks because they couldn't locate the fuse to that circuit. It was finally found in the tunnel under the school.

So that's why Grant Alums (I use alums because there were/are few graduates) are known as "tunnel rats"!!

Are the tunnels gone with the new building or do they still use them for breeding?

I can't talk for the other Grant grads, but I never once took a girl into the

Neither did I, darn it! My reputation proceeded me.

Congress passed a law stating that I was unfit for breeding. Even the
senator from Chappaquiddick signed it!

A northsider dame wouldn't go there with me. Not even one from McGinnis!
Prunette wouldn't even go there with me and she slaps up along the haid
every time she thinks about it. I think Mom told her to do it.

Hey, why would a SE cheerleader know about the... OUCH! That hurt!

I must say that the lovely, morally superior and intelligent SE cheerleaders
knew about it only because of our despicable reputation, which of course,
was by word of mouth, the Daily Oklahoman and every parole officer
appointed to the southside.

Did I quote that right?

OUCH!

Yes, I did.

DOUBLE OUCH!

I'm going to remember this for a looooooong time!

OUCH! STOP IT! OWWWWEEEE...

I'll get back later...

Is that a gun?

No Grunts are allowed by federal or state agencies to breed.........

That's the deal... No Grunts are allowed by federal or state agencies to

That must be part of the House Resolution to not allow Prunepickers to
breed, or attempt to breed.

How come everyone, but me, knew that?

I'm going to go to bed and cry in my pillow. Afterwards, I'm going to see if
there are any northside broads who don't know me. Broads are intelligent
females from the southside of town who moved to the northside. At least
that's what they tell me. Mom won't let me talk to McGinnis girls. Mom's
very smart.

I know that because she tells me so.

Mom will probably ground me. I hate being grounded.

She would have gone to the prom instead!!

Hey, you and ECO Huh?????McGuinnes Girls...?????

Hey, you and ECO Huh? McGuinnis Girls?

That'd be a nightmare nobody should see. One of us would surely die of self
inflicted wounds before the night was over.

I- wonder what happened to all of grants band uniforms and football gear?

They are probably in the back of Gen '64's van, wouldn't you imagine?

Wonder what happened to the hide-houses that were/are in Bricktown? Still there?

Yeah! She was a... babe... I had Cable. gag... a real hard cord scientist.

I wanted a babe... I would have even taken a teacher from South East...

I got busted for smoking in class one day. I will tell the story at the next meeting if anyone wants to hear it.

I remember my English teacher Mr. Chase telling the class that the older you get the faster time goes by. At the time I thought that was a weird thing to say. "Now" I get it!

Chase also said that someday we would come back and thank him for having been such a hard teacher. And I did, indeed, do just that. He was a rare bird.

If you remember looking out the windows of Chase's classroom you looked out at people's backyards. I remember one day two dogs "getting busy" out there and Mr Chase freaked, he tried to close the blinds and was telling us students to hush up, couldn't do it we were going insane with laughter. To this day it is one of my funniest memories. On top of all this I was very,very stoned.

That was his daughter and her boyfriend!! 2 dogs? You really were stoned.

Some of you older Generals here may be interested to know that Mrs. Baugh was still teaching at Grant when I was a senior there (1984). She was my AP English teacher that year. I believe that was her last year before retiring.

Mr. Cable was still there too. He was my Biology teacher in 9th grade. (His son is a doctor now - anyone know that?) He was at the big reunion that day when everyone showed up (right before they tore the old building down).

Ms. Sughru was still there as well, though she was working as an administrator rather than as a teacher.

Anyone a little younger remember Mrs. Overstreet? She taught math there for years and years. I think she started there right out of college. I had a little crush on her, actually. Her younger brother Bobby McDougal was a student there (and a star athlete) at the same time I was (though he was a couple of years older).

Generals64 mentioned how USG once had some good teams back in his day. We did too, in the 1980s! The baseball team won the state championship in both '81 and '84, and the basketball team finished runner-up one year. The football team, on the other hand, stunk. (We did usually beat CHHS and Southeast, though, as they were even worse in those years.)

I remember Mrs. Overstreet well she was a treacher of mine PANT PANT....ms Shugru was a teacher when i was ther and Mr. Cable always tried to be tough but he was a ole softy.

Wish I would have went to that reunion!

I gotta admit I really hated HighSchool, don't know exactly why but, probably alot of reasons. One of the biggest reasons was the Viet Nam thing, I just thought " what's the point" it seemed like a cloud over my head. Well I didn't even have to go but, it put a damper on my Highschool experience. That being said I wish I had the whole HighSchool thing to do over. Now that I'am getting older I have some good memories of my HighSchool days. This is not a boo hoo story, just the way I felt at the time, I'am really a positive minded person.

I gotta admit I really hated High School...

The same here, except I never liked school, period. From the first day of first
grade until graduation, I didn't want to go. The Viet Nam thing didn't affect
me like it did others. I just couldn't stand school and haircuts.

College was different, once I could focus on my majors. If it hadn't been for
the basics I would have graduated magna cum laude.

I remember standing at the bottom of the stairs coming up from the Gym area and about thirty of us were talking about a place called VIET NAM.....No big deal they won't bother a bunch of important guys like us. In November the following year the battle that the movie "we were Soldiers" occurred and I think all of us got drafted.....I was reclassified 48 hrs before I was to report for training at beautiful downtown Fort Polk Louisiana...The rest is history.....stupid military blunder.....too many friends didn't come back. some in a body bag and some are still not right in their minds.........

No, originally I was a complete Moron...I thought you were supposed to do your best on the military test and I made a 97 on it.....Woke up one morning with 4 recruiters on the front porch...Didn't want to join the army, Navy, Air Force or Marines.....I wanted to join the TG&Y management team. I ended up taking six physicals in 1965....I was drafted in November of 1965 but, I had had a Heart Murmur when I was a little kid. The doctors felt it wasn't to their advantage to have me having a Heart attack on the battlefield...Thank you GOD...so, I was reclassified 1Y.....Years later when your friends were being killed or maimed...physically and/or mentally.....you begin to have a tremendous GUILT trip within yourself.....

I remember Viet Nam very well. My brother which graduated from Grant(1964) went into the Navy in 1965 and spent two tours in Viet Nam on an aircraft carrier. The guy that lived across the street was drafted into the Army and was a heli door gunner in Viet Nam. He was wounded and had part of his leg blown off. There were several young men in my neighborhood that went. All of them came back, but some were wounded.
I graduated in 1970 and went to college. Why in college I had classes with a lot of Viet Nam veterans. When I graduated from college in 74, I joined the Marines. I went to Pensacola Fl to flight school and I can remember watching the fall of Saigon on the news while sitting in the squadron's reading room.

The first two Americans killed in Laos were 2 CIA pilots shot down while dropping equipment to the French from a "flying boxcar." Their remains were returned from Laos in 2002.
Can't find anything on Terry Anders.
