Stolen From Bozoette (Mary Wise)
Note: I just answered these on Facebook a while back so my apologies to those who saw my answers over there. Thanks to Bev Sykes for today's questions. You can find them HERE to join in.
Your high school graduation class of 1970.
1. Did you marry your high school sweetheart? Yes, I did, and we divorced 11 years later.
2. Type of car? My dad had a green Rambler station wagon, stick shift on the column, that I could drive sometimes.
3. What kind of job? The summer between my junior & senior years, I cleaned rooms at a motel just off the interstate.
4. Where did you live? Millersport, Ohio
5. Were you popular in school? I had good friends. There were only 47 in my senior class and we really didn't run in cliques. I was voted the most talented senior girl because of my art & music.
6. Were you in the choir/band? Both.
7. Ever get suspended? No.
8. If you could would you go back? No.
9. Still talk to the person that you went to prom with? I went to the prom in 10th, 11th, & 12th grade. My date (and steady) for 10th grade died a few years ago. We were friends on FB. The other two I lost track of. Neither were serious dates.
10. Did you skip school? No. I liked school.
11. Go to all the football games? Yes. I was in the marching band (trumpet) so went to all the games.
12. Favorite subjects? art, biology, English
13. Do you still have your yearbook? Yes
14. Did you follow the "original" career path? No. I wanted to be an art teacher but ended my working life as the accountant and operations manager at an art museum (20+ years). It was a nice trade-off.
15. Do you still have your class ring? No. I pawned it with my wedding ring to buy curtains for my first apartment as a single lady. I sort of wish I still had it since it was my birthstone.

6. Favorite teacher? Mr. Hoeltzel (band); Mrs. Finke (biology); Mrs. Buskirk (art)
17. What was your style? My school had a dress code so the 60s styles of mini skirts and bell-bottoms were not allowed but I did have a couple of short skirts and a pair of bell-bottoms.
18. Favorite Shoes? I had a pair of leather moccasins that I LOVED and wore out.
19. Favorite thing to eat for lunch? I liked our cafeteria food, especially baked chili.
20. Favorite band? Blood, Sweat & Tears; Three Dog Night; Crosby Stills Nash & Young; The Rolling Stones; etc., etc. (I was not a big Beatles fan.)
21. High School Hair? Long, frizzy, and unmanageable without ironing it on the ironing board, or rolling it in those big pink rollers with Dippity-Do. It took a lot of work to pull off the Mary Tyler Moore flip...

22. How old when you graduated? I was 18. My birthday is in December so I started school later than most since I wasn't 6 years old by October. It was fun to get my driver's license 6 months before most of my friends though!
Thanks for your visit today! We are off to Sunday school and church this morning!

ReplyDeleteBobby-socks with those loafers and saddle shoes!!
DeleteSuch great memories, Terri! I graduated HS in 1973, so not to far behind you. I do have fond memories of those long-ago days . . .
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
Thanks for sharing your memories. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteFun answers! Fun memories.
ReplyDeleteLove the big hair, smiles. I had 80's hair, also big, lolol. Have a great ay friend, smiles.
ReplyDeleteLoved your picture and comments.
ReplyDeleteBaked chili? Yummmm!

I loved your photo!
ReplyDeleteSo you and I are about the same age - I graduated in 71, You had 47 in your class I had 771 kids in mine.
I like you - not suspended - liked school.
I don't have my ring either.
What is baked chili?
Love, sandie
Thick chili that they baked in the cafeteria. Had to eat it with a fork. I've never looked for a recipe.
DeleteWe enjoyed many of the same things, as we were in school at the same time, just in different parts of the country! My hair was a lot like yours...I rolled mine on large Orange juice cans to get that flip. That was before blow dryers and curling irons. I never did iron my hair, but when you said that I thought of another friend of mine, whose name was also Terri, and she was also from Ohio! She came down to visit her father and step-mother and half brothers who lived near me, in the summertime, and we became great friends. She asked me to iron her hair and also to give it a Mayonnaise treatment...! Funny that you were both very similar! But she was from Mt. Vernon. I visited her one summer in Ohio too. My favorite food in our cafeteria was the homemade yeast rolls. They were SO good. And I loved their spaghetti too.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute photo of you. I had the opposite as far as age in school. I barely missed the cut-off for starting school as my birthday is Nov 24. I started at 4, graduated at 17. I was the youngest in my class all through school and was the last of my friends to be able to drive.
ReplyDeleteI love the photo. It is so classic of the times. I enjoyed reading the answers. Music was great then too. I still have my class ring and yearbooks. I know I enjoyed them then, but now they are collecting dust:)
ReplyDeleteI love your flip!! I had that same hair style but a bit shorter. I think we were influenced by Marlo Thomas and Mary Tyler Moore.:)
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed my visit here and love you flip! I have wild hair too. Loved all those bands too! Our family owned a Rambler wagon too!
