Thanks for the Memories!! Let's do it again!
This whole elementary blog idea started in 2000 when a few RHS classmates' emails spread like wildfire. This blog consists mostly of conversations regarding our 40th reunion and, of course, memories from our elementary days. As we approach our 45th reunion, please share your comments, memories and wishes on our RHS Class of '70 Facebook page. Let's start with...
Are you interested in reuniting with your elementary classmates again in 2015?

More Ridgewood School Memories
Welcome to our page of Willard Reminicences!
As the Ridgewood High School class of 1970 prepares for its 40th reunion, many Willard Elementary alumni have begun to reconnect. The effect has sparked hilarious memories; "few accurately recalled or characterized. But very revealing and lots of fun!" states "Ricky" Bowe (who insists he has gotten taller). Join in the fun and add to our conversations!

Because I lived next door to Carol Scholl, I think my mom made her mom make Carol invite me to her parties... Carol had a boy/girl party in her garage. Spin the Bottle was played. My spin pointed to Bobby Elgin. Ugh! (sorry, Bobby, you just didn't float my boat in 5th grade). Come to think of it, how did YOU get an invite to Carol Scholl's party?
ReplyDeleteMy kindergarten cubby, racing to get one of the "horsey" swings in recess, jumping rope, kickball, prison, "Dick, Jane, Sally & Spot", air raid drills, Mr. Fred, getting extra recess if someone threw up, which was often, the classroom smelling worse after the vomit was cleaned up, "playing" the flute in the "orchestra", the AV (audio/visual)room and watching filmstrips, the library. Non-academic pursuits seemed to rule the day. We all seemed to learn in spite of that. Did anyone go to nursery school?
ReplyDeleteI feel that Ms. Schoneman has issued me a challenge here. Well Judy I'll have you know that I hung around all the popular people. Rick Bowe, Scot Reinauer, Gail Brightman, Carol Scholl come to mind. So of course I was invited to all the 'in' parties. It's all about knowing the right people.
ReplyDeleteI'm honored to be chatting with the elite. Thanks for letting me bum around your cyberspace:) You're OK Bobby! You didn't eat paste OR boogers (at least that I noticed).
ReplyDeleteThank you. I'll take that as a compliment.
ReplyDeleteBombardment, doing an early lip sync as a Beatle (George) to "I Saw Her Standing There," going home for lunch, safety patrol, soccer games at lunchtime.
ReplyDeleteI'm anonymous, above. It took me awhile to figure this out...
ReplyDeleteAlways, always playing baseball with the boys during recess, and occasionally playing chinese hopscotch with the girls. Playing "Catch a fly and you're up" against the brick wall in the driveway above the field. Soccer games down on the field. The bike racks. Launching my old beat-up bike down the big steps (I stayed at the top). Making lanyards in the summertime at the day camp at school. Wondering why the boys were gaga for Carol Scholl and wondering what she had that the rest of us didn't (until I realized that she was wearing a bra in 4th grade). Being too tall for any hope of an elementary school romance. ;D
