Hey - check out the Class of 1951 - which includes Oliver Sovik.
I'm sure there were a number of dance bands over the years in and around Alamo. Does anyone out there remember this particular band and the approximate year? I do recall that Cliff Gronfer played in one or more version. And were there there any high school bands or groups that played outside the school setting?
My aunt Pearl Hagen White appears to have been a member of the Class of 1938. I'm assuming that there are more young ladies than men because guys tended to not finish high school in that era? Also shown is a more recent picture of the Classes of 1938-40. Can someone help name everyone?
Although I visited with Marilyn and Arnie in August, my camera was out of memory so I didn't get a current picture of two members of the Class of 1960. But I did get a look at Marilyn's picture album which was filled with many school related pictures from that time. So please, Marilyn, share those pictures - along, of course, with a recent picture of you and Arnie. Marilyn and Beverly Johnson are shown in an earlier post (Class of 1959).
Our band trips were a lot of fun and we can thank Mr. Gronfur and the band boosters for their support. It gave many of us travel experiences that we would never had on our own. It is sad that the small schools have closed and there are so few bands left in the community. For some reason I don't have many pictures of our trips. I'll have to dig a little deeper!
This picture hangs in the Senior Center - although it has faded considerably. It brings lots of memories back to me and it may to you also. Shirley remembers, as a kid, playing in the lumberyard that can be seen on the right. What memories do you have of the old station?
