SAVE THE DATE - 45th Reunion - October, 2010
We came from Burlingame, Hillsborough and parts of San Mateo and Millbrae,
California.
At lunchtime, if we weren't in line at the cafeteria or brown bagging it in
Washington Park, you might find us munching a Deluxe Burger
at the Hasty Tasty or a BLT at Towle's Cafe.
We
were MPL football champions and wore buttons exclaiming "Mash Mateo."
Our Thanksgiving Day tradition was to attend the "Little Big Game" followed
by Thanksgiving dinner.
We went crazy over the Beatles, the Beach
Boys, the Righteous Brothers, and the Supremes, though we also made hits of songs by Petula Clark and Herman's Hermits. Why
remains a mystery.
We
didn't know that the muscle cars we drove back then would be classics. Had we, we'd be rich.
The issues of the day were civil rights and the Cold War. Viet Nam
wasn't yet a concern, though our classmates were among the first to serve there.
There was only one screen at the Fox Theater, previously the Peninsula Theater. On any given
Saturday night in our senior year, it might be showing
Help!, Cat Ballou or The Sound of Music.
We were the Class of '65. |
