Capitol hill high school:..not forgotten

[CarltonsKeeper]

O.K., went out to eat with a couple that are even older than I am and, the lady was a CHHS Graduate.....(all the way through)....She told me that in the days of her going to CHHS that there was ALWAYS a large parade down through the Capitol Hill business district (Commerce aka 25th st.) and would take a left on Walker and end up at the CHHS Football stadium....That sounds cool but, she said that there was always a HUGE RODEO in the Stadium.....All right Doug / Steve / PapaOU do your homework....I never heard this one before but she was giving me all the dates etc. except when she graduated.....Never ask a lady of that age how old she is. Also, Capitol Hill's Football team Beat OU someone back then....Her husband was on the OSU Basketball team with Henry IBA as coach and he played against Wilt Chamberlain...Lots of History there but hard to get her to turn loose....

I use to go to those Rodeo's when I was about 5 years old!!

Were you one of the clowns???No, seriously what do you remember about them?...I remember them having a Big Circus there once but that's about all other than the local highschool football games and the Grant/Capitol Hill Fist fights....

I attended the CHHS Class of 2010 Commencement this evening, at the request of a current teacher.

I was very impressed with the students, staff, and facilities. We hear way too much about the bad kids while 116 graduated this evening. 7 are members of the National Honor Society. A mixture of races, white, Hispanic, black, American Indian, and one Vietnamese.

A very enjoyable evening with a great bunch of kids.

I attended the CHHS Class of 2010 Commencement this evening, at the
request of a current teacher.

I heard that over 90% of the graduating class had just over a 0.50 gpa.

The band director from the early 1950's is a very dear friend of mine. That'd
be Dr. Mel. Our offices are adjoining.

That would be twice as high as the Grant average.

At least we know what time school starts.

I graduated from CHHS in 1981. Our class size was 219 and 25% of us were in the National Honor Society.

I "borrowed" this photo from a current teacher at CHHS. Note the 2 mascots far right and far left. They had done away with that when i was there in the early 70's. Anyone remember when was still going on before that?

Hey, is there anything we can do?..Let us know...we joke around with each other but, we're still a rather large family. Also, Dan Sheaffer (Pastor formerly of Crossroads Cathedral) passed away yesterday...Let's keep his family in our prayers also. It seems to be or sound as a cliche' but so many people in their time of loss would appreciate a true "Stop, drop and Pray"....Thanks guys and gals...

I just heard about Pastor Dan. I just saw him a few weeks ago when I was having lunch at Stuffed Olive. He was with his wife... and I think with his daughter and son-in-law. I didn't think he looked too good health-wise then. May he rest in peace.

He was rather flamboyant but, he definitely a man of God. I cherish the fact that I knew him as a friend as well as my pastor.....My prayers are with Bonnie (his wife) and their family....

The "Stuffed Olive" Could lunch and passing be connected. (Sorry! I could not pass up the chance)

"No" she said... "we're going to ____________'s wedding tonight
remember? Oh yeah... Sorry again... are you sure that it wasn't
Grant 13 and CHHS 12?

That would have made a nice half time show.

Papa OU,

You got me thinking about this and I remembered this from "69" class. Hope I get this link attached right. We're talking about the mascots, right?

Good find. I have seen that photo before. I just don't remember them being active 71-72-73 when I was at school. Great photograph.

I think I remember, the mascots were still there when I graduated in 1970. I knew the girl mascots, had several classes with her. She was the 1969 Homing Coming Queen, cheer leader and a 4.0 student. I have often wondered what ever happened to her. I had the biggest crush on her my soph and Jr year. Of course, nothing ever came of it, she was way out of my class! I can't tell who the male mascot is.
