Old Pictures - can you identify them?

What on earth is this all about?

Can you identify all the people in this Spring Concert picture?
This group is preparing to play for a, well, a play; notice the backdrop on the stage. Can you identify the play - and the people? We think we see Marlyn Monger and Diane Lohse....
This must be one of Alamo's many school Carnival fund raisers. I don't recognize anyone. Help!
Our best guess is that this is Jean Anderson with Gayle Hagen on the piano. Does this picture ring a bell?
A peaceful Alamo scene taken from the school house. Can you guess the year? Notice that the Blacksmith's shop is still there - and you can see Anderson's place up on the hill. And only one elevator.
Now who is this person - and exactly where in the school was it taken? Inquiring minds want to know!

Still More Class Pictures

Ah - what hopes and dreams gleam in these eyes! Alas, only we today know what the future holds for you, and you are relegated to patiently wait and live your lives day by day as the future unfolds. But we who look back can only shake our heads at the innocent lives we led. And if we could, perhaps we would offer advise to our younger selves or our friends that might have changed the course of our lives. But, as Omar Khayyam so eloquently wrote in the Rubaiyat, "The moving finger writes and having writ, moves on; nor all your Piety nor Wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line, Nor all your Tears wash out a Word of it."
What were we thinking as we stood for our pictures? Were we contemplating the future and all the heartaches and triumphs that would come, which serve as milestones marking our progress as we pass through our lives? Or were we reflecting on the simple times we lived in, and how much each of us were influenced by our parents, friends, and teachers. Were we smiling because we were safe and happy in our rural community, sharing a lifestyle that, perhaps, many would envy today. Or were we just waiting for lunch or recess?
I don't know why Cathie and Judy are holding Norman and I down, but there must have been a good reason....

Girls' and Boys' Chorus 1967-68

Reliving old memories (and making new ones)

Here are some pictures from, I think, the last reunion held at the school. Cathy, Mary, Diane, Judy, and Shirley back in their seats. Hey - we need to hear from you girls on this site!





Elaine, Linda, and Diane acquainting themselves. Let us know where you are and how you're doing!









Dave and Dave. If you look closely, I have more hair than him in this picture.

If any of you have pictures out there and have no way to scan or upload them, send them to me and I'll do it for you. I'll even return them. Also, for me, I couldn't get Internet Explorer 6 to work for this, so I'm now using Mozilla Firefox - which seems to work quite well.

Oh those good old days....

This was the era of 'Sing along with Mitch', wasn't it? Well, you couldn't have a better group to sing along with than AHS's 1966-67 Junior Quartet. Mrs. Jacobson was very proud, as were all of us.

And the famous (at least in Alamo) Senior Quartet. How about a reunion tour? This group could really belt it out!


And the story would be incomplete without this fine picture of the Alamo High School Band, once again from the steller 1966-67 school year, I believe. This full two tuba marching band features three majorettes and 4 (count them) snare drums. It doesn't get better than this, folks!

Team Sports

Some of you may recognize these young men whose charactor was (no doubt) much improved by the leadership and guidance of the able Mr Kester.








Similarly, Messers Smith and Lund coached the 1967-68 football team to many victories (or at least that's my story, and I'm sticking to it).

Working on Problems

There is very little support for blogs so we have to work it out ourselves...so if you would like to join, send me your email so I can add you to the list of authors for this site. Then an invite will come to you and you answer that and you are in. I can start a new blog to try to fix this but will try this for now. My email I want you to use is Jane@janefreeman.com as that one doesn't bump large groups. Hope this will work. Janie
