------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mrs. Baugh was my Jr. English Teacher.....Let's see General 78 would have been 2 years old.....Hmmm..how about Mrs. Manning??? or Mr. Marker...Mr. Eagan was the Driver's ed Teacher when i was at Dear Grant High.....Hey, where's Prunepicker he went to Grant....

He is probably at a meet and greet at a socialite club meeting.

Prunepicker is probably trying to figure out where Grant was....He was a little distracted while in Highschool I believe.....O.K. we all remember the Rifle Range (except '78) how about the two years that Grant had a winning football team and all of them could speak english fluently....Tracy Norwood was the coach and they had players that were touted all over the state... Mike O'Shea, John Suggs, Ernie Freshour....USG60 probably knew these guys as it was '59 and '60 twe had major winning teams and '61 had the likes of Ronnie Rose and the rest of that gang....'62 the legacy disappeared except in Basketball and Coach Brown held your feet to the fire and the paddle to your rear..Huh Guys////????

Do any of you remember Ms. Carter? Mr. Coffelt, Mr. Nees, Mrs Nestlerodes, Wallace Smith????? come on now did back and start asking questions......How about Connie Hahn....(Sheesh) man she was good looking...and then of course Janice Treichler.....Saw her not long ago and I Love my wife but I still think I have a crush on Janice....Never mind.....

I never remember a winning season at Grant, but it was so much fun to attend the games back then. You would attend a social gathering with all your friends and family and a football game would break out. Remember where 4 corners was? Remember where the Ropers and the Dopers hung out?

Also how about TORONADO foosball joint?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was married and had kids when all that was going on. But, my young friend, Grant DID have many winning seasons.....they were terrors on the Basketball court. and the late 50's through early '60's they were good.

I remember Coach Virgil Miliron and the wrestling teams. I also remember the
swats. He was my gym instructor, too. Leave a towel in the dressing room
and get a swat. Walk on the basketball court with street shoes and get a
swat. Complain about getting swats and get a swat. I think there was some
education doled out here and there.

Mrs. Nestlerodes rings a bell, but she wasn't my teacher. C.D. Chase on
the other hand... extricate the quadrapod from the vehicle... my head still
hurts. Mrs. Baker was the attendance secretary, is that what it's called?

My science teacher was Mr. (Ron?) Cable. He spent a lot of time telling me
to get a haircut. He was a great guy. Coach Wooden was my history
teacher. I came in late everyday and got a swat. It came to the point
that I'd walk in and grab the ankles. He'd have his board and book in his
hands until I made it to class. Did I mention C. D. Chase? Mrs. Kelly was
algebra. A kind lady. Then there was Printing class. About a month into
the class the teacher advised me and my friend to take study hall.

Mr. Ron Cable was there when was there he was a tempermental old guy, maybe I was just rotten. NAHH

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm sure you were. If my memory seves me well, Semrad was standing utside the 1st floor bathroom and didn't think it was funny for some people to be running downstairs....Correct???? We had a lot of fun at Dear Grant High....

Can you imagine the number of feet that have gone up and down those stairs, the numbers have to be staggering.

Remember back in the day when the coaches tought drivers ed...there was poppa duck, and Mr.Glen Castle, and Castle is the principal in Blanchard high school now...way to go coach!

Yeah coach Savage was my drivers ed instructer. I remember coming back from Newcastle on what's now I-44. A red truck with U.S.Marines painted on the back blows by us. Coach said catch dat truck, so I took it up to 85! He's over the saying left off of it. I guess coach Savage has past away by now. He sure was a nice fella.

He was a great guy. what year did you graduate from grant?

mmm... could be...

I'm sure you were. If my memory serves me well, Semrad was standing
outside the 1st floor bathroom and didn't think it was funny for some people
to be running downstairs... Correct? We had a lot of fun at Dear Grant High...


Semrad never thought it was funny if anyone was running anywhere. I often
thought of him as someone who would patrol the halls with a 12ga shotgun.
Not that he ever did. I'll bet it crossed his mind every time he caught me
without a hall pass.

That's awful. Ours escaped any known damage, but by the time you took
D. Ed. it was probably looking bad. After all, they were letting girls take it
and you know what that meant...

That ought to get a certain someone, or someone's, to... never mind...
Prunette is looking over my shoulder...

LATER! ouch!

Someone just gave me a large class picture from 1973. It looks like it was

There must have been close to 40 graduating that year. How'd you manage?

I've got a couple of year books I'll bring next time. Maybe your mugshot is
in one of them.

I honestly have no idea where one of them came from. My siblings, that's
right, didn't go to any high school on the southside. It beats me.

we never had a student store but the vending machines were awesum!

You guys have got to quick making me laugh...old age has set in and have a kidney stone working on me and I'm remembering not only the old days but the last stone passed....Think I'll start trying to sell these stupid things.....Going to bed with a friendly pain pill see you guys tomorrow.......Don't forget Mr. Huffman actually fought Joe Louis for three rounds....he said he didn't remember much after that.....we should all eat a bag of Cheetos in his honor......Go Generals....................

Prunette's dad, that would also be Prunerella's grand dad, had one every 10
years. You could set your calendar by it.

Most boxers didn't remember much after 3 rounds with the Brown Bomber,
except maybe they hurt a lot.

Good old Mr. Huffman. He was a very nice man. He could take on any three
thugs on the south side with one hand and write their suspension passes
with the other while telling them to not get any blood on his gray suit! Did
he have more than one suit or was he like Ben Matlock?

has anyone found out anything about the time capsule at grant?

Okay Grant Grads..... Fact or Fiction


Grant had a pool in the basement of the school.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fiction...swimming pool was at the Southside YMCA 4 blocks south on Penn...
Did have a rifle Range though in the basement over by the Gym...

See I heard a pool also

No pool, just a wild tale! I went there 6 years and attended functions there while still in grade school. If you went swimming it was at the "Y" where the swim team met in the afternoons...

When -I went there thats where they went was the "Y" but the rifle range would have been cool to see. What else was down there besides that......maybe Al Capones vault?

See I heard a pool also
That was after a hard rain.
