U.S. GRANT GENERALS.......got memories?

[papaOU]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They were probably actually shooting at a car in the parking lot but they don't really know how to aim.....Also, they probably can't read the instructions since it's in English...If you want to get mad at me on this one, Go ahead.....My wife taught over in that area and I worried about her every day on something this stupid.....My Heart is still at Grant as a General but my A$% is staying away....Bullets are forever.... especially when in the hands of some Idiot....

CHHS and Grant now share the same school song......

You don't have to believe me. I've always wondered why we weren't included as Magnet schools underneath the district either. But I vividly remember applying to that school. I vividly remember my friend being kicked out on account of his grades. If you want, you can go up to the school and talk to our principle and maybe she'll engrain in your mind vivid proof.

It is noted on the Southeast Home page. Southeast High
"Welcome to Southeast High School.
Southeast High School is a high school in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma that opened in 1950. The school closed in 1990, but was reopened and remodeled in 1994 as a magnet school with an emphasis on four technology programs offered at the school. Being a magnet school, students must fill out an application and be admitted to the school, regardless of which schools' district they reside."

You've got legit doubts. Ask the same about Classen. They focus on Advanced Studies and you also have to apply for that school and it is referred to as magnet school as well but it's listed under Public too. Go figure.

Thanks. You did what I had asked, produced documented proof.

I remember when they decided to reopen the school and some of my friends who were alums were excited. I did not, or do not remember hearing any mention of magnet or any other school designation until your posting. Some of the Southsider group upheld your claims but no real "proof". (You can't believe 95% of what we say).

Is the entire school remodeled and open? There was an opinion that there would not be enough money available to refurbish the entire building.

[Architect2010]

Yes. The entire school was refurbished and is completely opened. It looks better I'd say then a lot of the older schools aka Northeast, Classen SAS, old Grant, old Douglass. It's definitely taken better care of even though the exterior could use some landscaping and parking lot work. We are scheduled to be remodeled next year as part of the Maps for Kids program. Sadly, I won't be there to enjoy it. :/

FYI, we lost our football homecoming. But today, Southeast hosted Volleyball Regionals against Catoosa, Coweta, and NW Classen. We beat out Coweta. Then Catoosa beat out NW. Then Southeast ended up beating out Catoosa for the State Championship spot. When I get the info, I'll tell you where State Championships is. Hopefully not too far.

Hey all you Grant Generals. Remember the first day you drove your car to school? I thought my old '55 Chevy was so cool....then my buddy drove up beside me in his Brand New '62 Chevy Impala... oh well, my '55 got me and The Village Idiot every where we wanted or needed to go....Right VI????

[Prunepicker]

Hey all you Grant Generals. Remember the first day you drove your car to
school?

Yes. The first face I saw was Semrad. It went down hill from there.

Do you remember the paper he'd glue to your windshield if you didn't have
a parking permit?

[papaOU]

Since I never attended one, tell me about U.S. Grant's football homecoming parade.

Ours (CHHS) went through Capitol Hill on Commerce Street. I understand that now they use Grand Ave in front of the school. Gonna go this year just to check-it out. Oct. 23.

Did Grant's route use Penn? How far north and south? Do they still have one and has the route changed?

[smooth]

Class of '73 here. Lots of good times that year. I practically ran the place.

[ktybug]

Ok Generals stand up and be heard! we got some revenge on those redskins and spartans!!!. .....post some of your old stories here from Grant or things you did while going to Grant.

Ok, I graduated from Moore, but man did I love to date the Bad Boys from Grant. But I also loved to paint your cannon!!!

Many moons ago, dated a pilot that graduated from Grant. OOOH La La!! Like I said, you Jock Generals were a fantastic date!!

You know, I don't think we really did have a Homecoming parade....I do know that we went all out for the Homecoming game and made sure the Queen Candidates had some of the nicest cars to ride in.....They were true Convertibles. Not something that had been stolen and the top cut of with a Torch and then a TG&Y 99cent per can paint job......Sorry CHHS....PapaOU...

[Redskins/General]

We just used a convertible and drove the Queens around the football field at CHHS!!

I was never in charge, but I hung out with the guys who really were. They
were the bad guys who were really good guys and took me under their wing.

[papaOU]

I plan on going to the CHHS Homecoming parade and game just to check things out...

Seems that too much tradition has been cast-a-side.

Some I understand. But not all...................
