7^th Grade Music Concert at LHS Junior High

Well the big night has arrived after many hours of practice.  Joan Duffy with her clarinet in hand (thought she was going to be the next Benny Goodman) and Dee Reinhardt with her violin are ready to make their debut into the music world!

The night was a success but Joan did not go on with her career, but Dee did continue on and also played the clarinet in the marching band in high school.  Each Memorial Day the band would play in the town parade and our houses were on the parade route. The families would all be out cheering the band on as they went past . Dee was so excited to see us cheering her on she did not realize the band stopped and she walked right into the person in front of her!  Needless to say, her music career did not leave LHS.

Junior Year Business Law Class Trip to New York City

The day came for Mr. Mazzone to take his Business Law class on a trip to the New York Stock Exchange.  It was a full day trip starting at 8:30 am for a bus ride into Wall Street.  We arrived for the opening bell, took a tour around the stock market all the while thinking of what we were doing for lunch!   Mr. Mazzone had made arrangements for us to have lunch at the  Rosevelt  Hotel where Xavier Cugat was hosting a radio show with his band!  (Yes, I did say radio show!)

The lunch and show were great!  A few if us even got to be on the show!  Of course when we got back to LHS we had to write a report on our trip to Wall Street leaving out the best part of the trip since it was not considered the educational part!

Harrison School Meeting Place

(Kindergarten Steps}

Living very close to Harrison School, Joan Duffy and Dee Reinhardt spent many days and evenings with Nancy Morris, Cindy Neu and Peggy Jaeger on the kindergarten steps where we would think we were all grown up.  At the meeting place, we would play ball, jump rope, play hopscotch and draw hearts with whomever we “loved” at the time.  Of course, what we really hoped for was for the “boys” to come around so we could flirt with them!  The main man was Arthur Errickson since he also lived only a few houses from Harrison School.  It was a fun time with lots of memories to go along with the “steps”.
