Sharing a Slice of Life 'School Daze'

Interesting that Texasblu chose the topic "School Daze'' for this week's prompt.  Ancestry.com just came out with US High School Year Books.  I was so hoping that the Hero's school might be on there, but it is not.  I did find my 1963 year book.  It was really amazing to me to find that I had forgotten so much of my high school.  I posted some pictures on FaceBook for my old school friends and they were excited to remember the times.  Some came back with immediate memories, I was really in awe.  I guess I was in a hurry to graduate and the interim just flew by.  Here are some of the activities I was in.  I was disappointed the freshman band wasn't included.

Edmond High School 1963

This is me when I was 14, a freshman entering the world of High School.

This is the Junior Classical League.  It was for those studying Latin.  One of the members remembers a toga party and going in a sheet.   I vaguely remember that.  I am on the very end sitting down.

First Aid Club

This was the First Aid Club.  Can you tell I wanted to be a nurse.  I made it.  I am in the middle in white.

Edmond High School Band Uniform

I had to include this.  I learned all I know about music in Band from Jr High through High School.  I had fun, loved playing the French Horn, and marching.  Precision marching was so intricate that it would fascinate me and still does if I catch a good marching band.


I have given you a peak at my freshman year in High School. While I was busy with activities, I learned most of my English Grammar in Latin this year, and began to appreciate the social order of human beings.
