In first corn-eating contest picture, the second boy, in dark shirt is Robbie Schreiber and the girl is Cindy Harden. Notice the "H" on her blouse? "Initial blouses" were all the rage then!

In the second picture, notice off to the left, a smiling Dan Williams ( I love that picture, it is the Dan we all remember! I can just hear his laugh!) and to his right, in dark blouse, is Nancy Spratt.

There is a boy way in the back, right, with a white hat and t-shirt on. I think that is Lew Williams.

And there is a darkhaired woman leaning out, looking down the table. I think that is Betty Schreiber, Robbie's mom.

1960 High School pics

Being dean was tough on Gil Schreiber.

I'm not sure about Charlie Greer's box hockey technique. Bill Griffin is other box hockey player.

Boys dorm. In boys dorm picture Larry Wisely is shirtless boy in front of mirror, tall guy is Larry Dickey, Fred McKean is the boy in a dark shirt in middle of picture and Joe Feher is behind looking over Fred's right shoulder.

Another memory from everybody's favorite life guard... The scene in the boys dorm: The great big guy is Larry Dickey. Larry was from either Flora or Fairfield, I don’t remember which. He was Bill Stark’s nephew and would often come to camp during the late 1950’s and early 1960’s. Fred McKean is also in that picture.

Larry, Fred, Norman Ray, and I had what was called the “Coke Bottle Quartet”. We would all wear suits. I would open the bottle of coke then hand it to Norman. Norman would hold it up to the light and examine it for color, then for aroma. Norman would then hand it to Larry who would chug it (very, very fast—faster than it could be poured out onto the ground. We timed it. He deployed some sort of sucking method). The finale was that Fred McKean would belch loudly into a microphone. It was, as I recall, a very popular performance.

Margaret Couvey (married Jack Ross).

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, early 1960s?

This picture is earlier, maybe 1962, than the popsicle picture. Middle girl is Sandy Schrumpf; plaid pants girl is Judy Ellsworth.

Estimated year: 1964. #2 could be Kay Wiseman, #3 Sandi Heston, #4 is Larry Hostetler, Melissa Sefton #6, #7 is Janet Durbin.

Now this one is a treasure, huh? The After-hours party was probably a week when Gil Schrieber was dean. Dan Williams and Mike Heston in the forground with Gil eating pizza between them. In the background we have Pop Smith, Stuart Couve, and to the far right JW Jordan. Boy in back with wildly patterned shirt is Larry Zumwalt and older man to his left is his dad, Dean Zumwalt. Young boy to right of Mike Heston is Gil's son, Robbie Schrieber
Next to Larry Zumwalt is Francis Grafford, Judy's mother. I think the woman in front of her is Cathy Opperman's mother, Rudy. Gilbert Schrieber was the minister at Wood River, and the Zumwalt's, Grafford's and Opperman's were all members at W.R.

One of 4 -- a Life Recruit Week, 1958

Must be a very early week -- the pics were in teams like this rather than the whole week together. Recognize anyone? These rows are a little hard to follow -- let's see this as three rows, the first starting with the girl in the flowered skirt, the second with the tall girl in the light dress on her left and behind, and the third mostly guys.

(Published from comments and an email from Mike Heston) 1:4 June Huck (?); 1:6 girl w/ glasses is Lois Corbus; 2:4 striped shirt, Ron Holtzhauer; 3:1 Norman Ray, 3:2 Gerald Greenlee, 3:4 Gilbert Schreiber, 3:5 Mary Kinney, 3:7 Charlie Greer

Junior boys week 1962

Double click on the picture to make it bigger. We had great fun with this one. Best guesses, so correct us if we are wrong. Row 1: 1 Dave Jackson from Belleville in the first spot. 1:17 Kevin Hayhurst 1:20 Rick Walston 2:8 Scott Cain 2:21 James Kelly 3:17 Gary Thornburg 3:18 John Heston 4:3 John Beck 4:4 Evan Mac Lockwood. I know a lot of the other faces but just can't put a name on them. Faculty row (kindof two rows but in order as one) 1. Merv Moberley 4. George McCarty 5. Bill Price 6. Bob Hayhurst 8. Jack Durbin 9. Bob Kelly 10. Stu Couve (sp). 12. Joe Feher 14. Woody Fisher 15. Charlie Burns 16. Wayne Black 19. Anita Steele 21. Sandy Steele 22. Lynn McFarland. Floyd Jordan, Charles Wogman, Bill Price and Gilbert & Betty Schreiber are also in faculty row.

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
