Raft, Life Recruit Week, 1960

There were several versions of the raft, including one with a tower that was too top heavy to work. At the end of the season the raft was pulled into shore to slow the rusting out of the barrels that support it. Tall boy on raft is Heavy McFarland, short boy is Lewie Williams, I think.

Sandi Heston Rinderer said... Boy under tree is Jerry "heavy" McFarland. Three girls under tree: Girl in white blouse may be Donna Tackett; Flowered dress girl is Dolly Black.

Heston strikes out -- 1963

So many memories on the ballfield. Mike Heston at bat. Gil Schreiber is in the Camp shirt on left; to the right of Mike (kid by backstop) is Paul Sidwell; next right, kid leaning on bat, is "Heavy" McFarland.

Following is Mike Heston's recollection of this game :
From the stunned expression on my face and the delighted smirks on Paul Sidwell’s and Heavy McFarland’s faces, it would appear that I have just struck out in a student - faculty game. I remember that game. It was the first time since I was in Jr. Hi that the students had beaten the faculty. It was a sad day in Mudville--for Danny Williams and I to end our lustrous careers in disgrace. Fortunately, we both recovered and went on to greater things.

In the ball field picture, the blond guy next to Heavy McFarland is Carl Bell. He is the brother of Bonnie and Sandy Bell (both older). The last time I saw Carl was the 4^th of July 1963. Danny Williams and I had just been ejected from the Fox Theater in St. Louis. As we came out, there was a long line forming for the next show and Carl was in the line. We spoke but explained nothing; although, it was evident from his expression that he suspected something of a nefarious nature. Gentlemen, as you know, never explain anything.

Life Recruit Week, 1962

I'm just guessing at the year -- I am in the front second from right as a faculty kid, and I only had long hair in 3rd grade so this is approximate. Double click for a closer look. In addition to the two in the next pic below I recognize Sandi Heston, Dolly Black, Kay Wiseman. Pop Smith. - Paula
