Who remembers hanging out at Alpine ice-skating rink in Southmoor Park? In 1970 Jerrie Dansky and I would go every weekend wearing our floppy hats. Skating to “Here comes the Sun ” The Beatles

When girls wore short dresses they were sent to the principals office to kneel on the floor and a ruler was used to measure the floor to dress or skirt. If it was more than 2” you had to change clothes.

Do you remember FAC (Friday afternoon club)? Many of us are lucky to still be alive. Not sure how we made it through High School with the shenanigans we used to do. OR HOW ABOUT going down county line road to see if we could catch some air? Or what about heading out to Daniel’s Park? Or going to the drive in and filling the trunk with as many of us as possible to save a few bucks! Or those football games at South High School

The TJ Junior High Ski Club For a grand total of $7.00 per trip in the late 60’s, you only got the following: Roundtrip transportation on a Greyhound from TJ to a different ski slope each Saturday, a box lunch, a tow ticket and a ski lesson. Of course, most of the snowplow Olympians felt lessons were unnecessary. Afterall, each had been precisely measured for skis that were taller than the Eisenhower Tunnel. Nobody noticed the switchbacks on the mountain ride because half of the bus was busy making-out with that weekend’s crush, while the other half was assigned to aggravating and distracting the chaperoning teacher. Occasionally, some rebel without a cause would pass a one-ounce bottle of Binaca Breath Freshener around for only the most daring to take a swig, which did contain .00001% alcohol. After a day free from adolescent angst, parents were happy to pick up their worn-out offspring Saturday evenings at the TJ parking lot. Their only issue was, how to fit 14-foot skis into the 4-foot trunk of a 1966 Ford Falcon.
