 I don't remember ever fighting over a boyfriend. Sometimes we had a crush on the same boy and tried our darndest to get him, but if one said "dibs" that was serious or if he made a move toward one, the other dropped out. I guess it was instinct telling us that boy friends would come and go, but we'd have each other for the long haul. We had so much fun in high school. At lunch time we would grab a bag of potato chips and a coke because music was played in the gym and a lot of us spent the rest of the noon hour dancing. We were supposed to buy lunch in the cafeteria but that took too much time. Our favorite dance tune was "In The Mood".   These are pictures from our high school yearbook but I don't remember if we were juniors or seniors. Hey, that was a long time ago! Gloria is on the left and I'm on the right. One of the favorite hang-outs after school was the Rondezvous where we would sit in a booth and listen to music on the juke box and drink cokes and look at the boys and the boys would do the same thing till one or two of them would get up the courage to come over. There was a lot of" booth hoppin" going on every day. It was during the war and every now and then one of the hometown sailors or other service men would come home on leave setting all the girls hearts aflutter. There was another place at the other end of the block too but we weren't allowed to go there because the "wild" kids went there,....so being teenagers, we went there. Actually we never saw anything wrong with it, and of course we knew better than our parents. The only thing that went on there, that we knew of was that a few of them smoked (cigarettes). Either we were naive or we missed something because we never heard about drugs or anything like that at our high school or anywhere else. Yup, those were the good old days. ~continue~ Home |
