Time to Find out what Everyone is Doing!!!
With everyone staying home and getting a little bored with family, maybe it is time to set up a Zoom meeting or send an email out to some of your friends from Austin High. Wouldn’t it be great to reminisce about teachers, football, band, red jackets, red dragons, watching the World Series in the cafeteria during lunch…In the past week, I have emailed the classes of 1950-1959 asking for updated emails and contact information to be added to our loyalforever website. Registration is free and once approved (our site is closed to the public) you will have access to email and telephone numbers for thousands of Alumni.
I’ve received an email from Jean Samples, class of 1958 and wanted to share it with you:
I know our alumni have stories of what they remember in high school (remember getting on the Red Jackets’ bus for the out of town games with so much food that Miss Herndon said we had to start eating as soon as the doors on the bus closed in order to finish everything before we got back to the school that night!? Remember the very careful measurements in the spring for our new red jackets — then when they were delivered in the fall right before the first game some of us— not me — who were more “ generously endowed” couldn’t button the top button? Remember wearing white socks over our hands when some folks forgot their gloves for the governor’s parade down Congress? Dancing at the Continental Club on South Congress?) And I’m sure most of us have neat “after graduation” stories — was anyone in NYC or at the Pentagon on 911??
