Since this is the 50th anniversary of my High School graduation, I thought it fitting to post a few items I have saved from all those years ago.
It sure is scary how much I've changed in 50 years!!!

(The ".037" that appears here and there is "LEO" upside-down. I signed a lot of stuff that way, even way back then.)
 

This is most of the front page of The North Central News, May 27, 1955, with the photo of the six of us that had "straight" A's.

And this is the slip we all got so we could sing our fairwells. I don't recall now if this was sung to our NC student body, or if it was during the large 4-school ceremony. The tune was the Bob Hope theme-song, "Thanks For The Memories."
 

Here's more "straight" A stuff from Spokane's  April 29, 1955 Spokesman-Review newspaper.

And yet more "straight" A stuff from the  May 2, 1955 Spokane Daily Chronicle newspaper, with a listing of all the NC graduates.

This is the only other North Central News that has survived. I was a member of "Amores Librorum," the school's Latin Club. I always have liked that language.
This issue, November 19, 1954, was during my senior year.

Here is the Amores Librorum photo from the 1955 Tamarack, the North Central Yearbook, showing all of the members and a listing of our names.
 

This is a portion of the back page of the May 27, 1955 North Central News. I'm surprised to see the Frosto add for 25 cent, 24 oz., milk-shakes.

Just a few days ago I paid $4.96 for a 16 oz. shake at the local mall.

And, by the way, what the heck is a Royal Portable, I wonder? A sort of ancient word processor, I guess.

It sure is scary how much everything has changed in 50 years!!!
