Back to 1964, Commencement Dance.  Bill Wallace, Theresa Eve, and David Norton.  Days gone by.  It was a lovely Spring Event.  I saved my dress for years.  Finally passed it on to Girls in Need.    Any more Commencement Dance pictures from Woodland High School?  Nice to share.

Hi Theresa this is the only pic I have of a "dance" back then & I think it was the Junior Prom, so it would have been spring of 1961 - Greg & JoLinda Cooper

Theresa Eve (1964)

Love this Greg, we were just talking about JoLinda.  I posted a picture on her memory page of her passing.  You are so handsome with JoLinda looking so pretty.  Thank you for sharing.  Nice hair cut Greg.

It is sad to hear that Dan Milligan has Passed. Everytime I look at the photos I took in the Ghost Town of Bodie, I could hear Dan telling me (maybe 1960? ) that he and his parents had visited this really cool place that looked just like it did when the town was abandoned in the 1930's. I could not imagine something that cool. It took me about ten years to see that he told me the truth! I had to graduate HS, college, get out of the army, and get a job to get a car good enough to visit Bodie, and when I first saw this view in 1971, I said to myself "Dan, you were right, thankyou!!" RIP Dan

Dan Milligan's death left me feeling very old and very sad.   He was my first date - for the cotillian dance.  He told me later that he thought asking me was "obligatory".!   Neither of us was ready for dating, but he was a really nice guy.

Julie you  are so right, we were young.  Now I know the meaning of,  "Life is but a dream."  Have no idea where those years went so quickly.  Thinking back did not seem so long ago.

Anne Douglass (Loud) (1964)

Theresa,

Here is a photo of me and Jeff Johannes at his 1962 senior prom. It seems leis were part of the prom wardrobe back then.

Nice picture Anne.  Jeff, I remember so well.  A lovely couple.  Years gone by,

Andrea and me from the Senior Prom in 1967. I was definitely a "dork"!! She made the dress and still had it when we reconnected in 2001. My oldest granddaughter, Amarisa (Ami)(17 years old), who has a thin physique, tried the dress on after Andrea passed away. She couldn't fit into the dress. She said, "Wow!! Grandma was really thin."


03/05/24 09:06 AM #7905    

 

Theresa Eve (1964)

Burke:  Lovely 1967 picture of you both.  Yes, the dresses are so small.  At least the dress was saved.  Here is a vintage 1962 Commencement Dress worn by Mary Eve, today worn by her Granddaughter Alyssa Rubiales. I saved the dress and had it boxed.  Still looks like new.

Thanks to Theresa for coming up with a fun idea to post Prom, etc pix.There has to be others out there! Dig thru your old albums and find some more to post :-)

Greg Kareofelas (1962)

Anne, great pic of you and Jeff, you look like you are just getting ready to go the Dance :-) and Same for Burke and Andrea, great pic, When these pix were taken, I wonder if we had any idea that we would be looking back at them 60+ years later and remembering those time!

Greg. When Andrea and I reconnected after 34 years,we spent about a month talking on the phone before we met face-to-face. We talked about our high school years and realized that we both still had our Senior Prom picture. We had some great memories looking at it. Being a life long bachelor until we got married, I told her that had "imprinted" on me during those high school years. That's why I never got married. We both laughed very hard.

We blew up the Senior Prom picture and had it as part of a display at our wedding. Our friends asked about our "love story" since we got married 8 months after we reconnected.

Focusing back on the original Woodland High School on College Street, these pictures from 1965 are sad to see.  The original building will remain in my memory as the Woodland High School.  (This was posted on the other Face Book Woodland Post, which was so historical to share.)

Sandra Humphrey (Smith) (1964)

Has there many interest shown in a 60's reunion for the Class of 64?  I appreciate it's a lot of work organizing but given our age could be one of our last (refuse to say last)!  


03/10/24 12:50 PM #7916    

Frances Handley (Jones) (1964)

Yes,Sandy , it would be nice to even have just a casual get-together...Maybe in early September as we have always done....Just a chance to see everyone and chat. It's hard I know with so many of us living out of town, but maybe someone can figure out a way to do it. I heard that the class of '62 did something similar and it was very sucessful!

Theresa Eve (1964)

1964 Reunion is a Must to Gather.  We should start something now.  We have had some good locations in the past, may revisit that, Hotel Woodland, Flier's Club, new locations in Woodland I see also.  Great ideas to start.  It should be a comforable location for seating.   


03/11/24 06:43 PM #7918    

Buni Murphy (Panick) (1964)

Yes to a reunion this year. Some one local get it started. I'm sure someone does have a list of names and addresses either physical or e-mail. I can/will do whatever I can from Santa Rosa.  Yep, we be getting older every year. Let's do this before we can't. There must be some one who likes/loves to organize these things. Orvie, you do a great job with a golf day, how about a golf day and party night. There are a few of us that get together every year or so and we love each other but it would be great to see those who we haven't seen for years. Let's do this. Some one step up make it happen Please

Greg Kareofelas (1962)

Burke, that is a great story about you and Andrea, thanks for sharing the memories. It just goes to show that there are many fun memories, still to be told and remembered :-)

To the class of 1964, I will say, that for our 60th reunioun, we rented the Legion Hall across from the elks club, and instead of trying to decide how to do food, Don came up with the idea of having a Mexican Food Truck park behind the building, we could order anything we wanted, or not. I'm sure it made organizing much easier and less complicated. Entertainment was Bill Tongren putting together a Power Point that contained old pix from Ilex's and Orange Peals, looping on a big screen TV. To the class of 1964, if you don't do it now, you never willsmiley
