The Modesto High School Class of 1973 is holding a 40th
reunion on July 27th. I am not planning it, but I am playing Sherlock
Holmes to track down classmates to share the news. Reunion Information
Research helped me reconnect with “old” friends from my
youth. It also led to obituaries of former classmates, Linda Walker Freng
and Trena Robinson Cambron. They were part of a group that took turns hosting parties where
none of us drank alcohol, smoked or took drugs. We did play spin the
bottle … a lot. Our early teen years were so innocent compared to today.
My 58th birthday was this week. I am no
longer young and unless I can figure a way to live to 116, I’m not even
middle-aged. I cherish memories of my youth and those dear souls who
shared the adventures that made me who I am now.
Two classmates died before we graduated and since then
eleven others that I know of. Life is not finite, so let's stay connected
to share old memories and make new ones.
All hail to thee, Modesto High;
Let not thy soaring echoes die.
In black and crimson majesty,
Thy colors stand for victory.
Thy loyal sons and daughters raise
To thee in ever reverent praise.
A song sent singing to the sky:
All hail to thee, MODESTO HIGH
I never even played spin the bottle.
ReplyDeleteI hope the reunion will be very fun and memorable. That's a great theme song; it makes me feel proud of Modesto High, and I went to high school hundreds of miles away.
Take care, Teri.

Robyn,
DeleteIt is never too late to play Spin the Bottle. A classmate's Mom provided the bottle and explained the rules, JUST kissing in public. Later we added the game, "7 minutes in Heaven" Yes, Modesto High was a terrific school with teachers and staff that truly cared about the students. I hope that is still the case.
Have fun at your reunion! Thanks for replying on my blog. :-)
