' A welcoming card for October" 2024
LET US NOT FORGET! ...........THE OCTOBER 12, 2023, memories of our 65th Class Reunion. So enjoyable by all who came! Perhaps we shall meet again?
The last written words of Ronnie MacDiarmid written to Nancy Henry to all of us were:
" (to be reprinted printed soon)
Well, WE ARE celebrating our 85th (ish) OCTOBER, friends! May we all be grateful for the old memories and still look forward to making new ones.
REMEMBER!
(Will Rogers High School was 85 years old in September when the beautiful, Art Deco building was completed and the first Class to graduate started! ) Sooo HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
Lastly, Here are words shared with you written by Ronnie MacDiarmid after his attending the 65th Reunion. He sent it to Nancy Henry. May it be a way to remember Ronnie and to welcome October 2024 into our lives.
" If we never meet again, I'll always wish we had. From the Irish."
"May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back
May the rain fall gently upon your fields.
And until we meet again, may the Lord hold you in the palm of his hand."
"Ronnie Mac-May 3, 1940 - April 27, 2024
Proud member of the l958 Class
of Will Rogers High School, Tulsa, Oklahoma"

TURN AROUND THE CANDLES, PLEASE. SMILE.
. Going back to l958, what were your favorite October memories? I remember going to sock
hops in the School gym, football games, slumber parties, movies at the Will Rogers Theatre and the Delman, History class with Mrs. Fortenberry (I was never prepared for the History event that she made us choose fro the newspaper!...but little did she know that I would turn out later in life as a real student of History! Art history and family history! lol)
History of Sock Hops! Enjoy!
Sooooo...moving on...my wish for each of us to enjoy the memories of the old days....but try the
new technique below:
Things that can make you smile...
Toilet papering houses, Rootbeers and fritos on a hot summer night,
drive-way dances, sock hops, Friday night football games when we beat CENTRAL, MEETING IN THE FRONT HALL BEFORE SCHOOL, Bean chowder and cinnamon rolls for lunch and Friday assemblies, But last but not least, the greatest smile for us can come for the gratitude of being able to go to school where we felt only safety and free from worries of being physically hurt.
OCTOBER 1958 Back to
school ........Then......
