Dear
Carol,
I found these tickets and thought they may be of some interest. I don't know on
which page they may fit.
Anyway, I know you don't need another project, sorry.
Peace and love, Albert

WOWZERONI!!!
Sweetie, this whole site exists for moments and treasures such as this!
I
had no idea
any such things could possibly have survived! I attended all seven of
these functions.
The two which stand out most clearly in my mind are Swing Your Partner
(who could ever forget dances featuring Howie and His Blazers?!?) and Fun Night.
Unlike the other six (which are
obviously dances), Fun Night was a fund raising carnival. I remember it so
clearly.
As freshmen, Rose Woodard and I hadn't been able to wrangle any dates
(sad, isn't it?!? GIGGLES!),
so we went together.
It was very exciting! Somewhere near the center of the cafeteria was a
(gasp!) Kissing Booth!
Who would have imagined it would have been allowed?!?
Sometime near the start, someone (was it you, Steve?) began calling out, "Have
you seen Graham yet? Graham Avery's here!"
For the benefit of those of you who might not recall, Graham Avery was a
gorgeous tall, blond-haired, blue-eyed boy we had
known at
Magruder.
He had moved out of the school system
somewhere, I'm relatively certain to Hampton, with his father.
Well, I'll tell you, I was all a-twitter! Imagine seeing Graham Avery
again! But guess what?
I was such a nebbish, he didn't remember me, and looked at me as though I was
from outer space or something.
Sigh. I was crushed. (And yes, Jimmy-Jimmy, of course I remember
what I was wearing -
my peacock blue blouse and my wonderful peacock blue plaid kilt. It
obviously didn't help.)
Albert, once again you are my hero.
I had so wanted to know the exact dates for some of these events for my
compulsively
dated high school albums, and here you've delivered them unto me.
Thank you sooo much! And thanks for the memories!
At the
Hop
Bah-bah-bah-bah, bah-bah-bah-bah
Bah-bah-bah-bah. bah-bah-bah-bah, at the
hop!
Well, you can rock it you can roll it
You can stop and you can stroll it at the hop
When the
record starts spinnin'
You *calypso* when you chicken at the hop
Do the dance sensation that is sweepin' the
nation at the hop
Ah, let's go to the
hop
Let's go to the
hop, (oh baby)
Let's go to the
hop, (oh baby)
Let's go to the
hop
Come on, let's go to the
hop
Well, you can swing it you can groove it
You can really start to move it at the hop
Where the
jockey is the smoothest
And the
music is the coolest at the hop
All the cats and chicks can get their
kicks at the hop
Let's go!
Let's go to the
hop
Let's go to the
hop, (oh baby)
Let's go to the
hop, (oh baby)
Let's go to the
hop
Come on, let's go to the
hop
Let's go!
