Various weeks, circa 1961

Lynne Gurley remembers...One week there was some kind of contest between the teams. We had to write songs and perform them about faculty members. For some strange reason, I still remember our song, and can still sing it! Our faculty member was Danny Bowling and this picture brings it all back: (To the tune of "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean")

"Danny Bowling's a mighty nice fellow.
You can tell by the lift of his chin.
But each time he bends his poor elbow,
Oh boy, how the vittles roll in.
Roll in, roll in,
Oh boy, how the vittles roll in, roll in.
Roll in, roll in,
Oh boy, how the vittles roll in!"

Maybe we will get her to sing it for us and post it for all to hear!


Bill Griffin is in the Jr Boys pic (top left). Dan Bowling and Stu Couve eating watermelon. (top right). Ed Armstrong is the preacher in the Pre Hi (above right) pic. Is that Judy Roodhouse just above Danny Williams, and Kathy Roodhouse across the table at the top? Maybe a First Chance week since there are both boys and girls?
