That picture brings back memories and I'm still into the 50's music

That picture brings back memories and I'm still into the 50's music. My dress was pink and I ordered it out of a catalog. Don't wear glasses much anymore since contacts came in.

We got to Morocco in 1954 just as I was going into the 11th grade. At that time there was one senior and several juniors. We had correspondence courses from the University of Nebraska and all sat in one big room. Our teacher or "monitor" was Mrs. Duborg, the base captain's wife.

In my senior year we had another school with real live teachers. Our English teacher, Mrs. Ryan was a Shakespeare lover and she celebrated his birthday. In those days we diagrammed sentences. Sure was a good way to learn sentences. By that time there were about 7 juniors. Chemistry class was read and memorize. No lab. Our principle was Mr. Humperdink. These were civil service teachers.

Both Becky and Larry lived in outlying areas so only saw them at school. In 1954 we lived in town and then moved on the base - in back of the Marine Corps barracks - in a Quonset hut. Very convenient because I dated Marines. Spent many evenings watching my date spit shine his shoes. The base movie was about all there was to do on the base but spent a lot of time at the Red Cross Center in town. I was allowed to drive our car so had transportation for the "gang."

The first year we were there, I was chosen Navy Relief Queen. Every time someone bought a ticket for a new car, they got to vote for a Queen. The winner of the car didn't even give me a ride....

My Dad was the terminal officer so I also spent time at the terminal and "Greasy Spoon" as they called the snack bar.

On Saturday, some of the girls took turns putting on a radio show called "Teen Timers," which was on Armed Forces Radio. We had scripts and selected our own songs to be played.

Our graduation was at the Seabee auditorium. All three of us sat on the stage while the glee club sang. Graduation was June 5, 1956.

We left Morocco in August 1956 and I went to Florida State University. My Dad was stationed in Pensacola at the time.

To this day, I keep in contact with Becky (Hornsby) Snow, Leila (Griffin) Applewhite, Sue (Greksouk) Kerry, Larry Miller and some of the wonderful people I met at the reunion last year in Imperial Beach, CA. Let's have another reunion before we all get too old to travel.

Enjoyed remembering the "good old days."

Thanks.
