Miz Sally, Mam, you should poke around. There are several photos of you in here.

In fact, Terry Hopkins commented on you as recently as May. 17.

Are you coming to the reunion? I sure would like to see you!

Thanks for answering! We have alot of great memories of living there! Especially, my younger sister and I—-there were alot of kids in the neighbor who played and practiced music in our backyard!!

Thank you agn

To Christy (Baker)Twist:
Wow! My family moved into 1027 Stewart in the summer of 1960. My mother lived there until she passed away 3 years ago.

Hi Christy,
I worked with Rosie Cauble Conrad at Alma Schrader School. She transferred to Central Middle School, retired, and is still living in Cape. I don’t have her phone number right off hand but would be glad to get you her number and address.

Photo 2 has Cherie Pind Herbst (center). I saw Cherie at the Elks club in October and she’s still a wild dancer (still looks about the same too). Yvonne Askew is to Cherie’s right.

Image 9 — Cherie Pind (center) to her right is Yvonne Askew and I think Bonnie Strom in front of Yvonne. To the far right is Martha Hathaway and Joan Amlingmeyer.

Image 6 — Upper right quadrant shows all the Notre Dame kids that Tom Meyer mentioned. You can tell it’s the Notre Dame kids because none of them are dancing, just standing around.

I thought that looked like Cheri Pind, but I didn’t want to stick my neck out.

I guess I’m going to have to put up some Notre Dame pictures. This was originally going to focus on Central High School, but in a town as small as Cape with everyone living next door to everyone else, it’s hard to concentrate on a single school.

All I know about the different high schools was that the girls in the other schools were always supposed to be wilder than the ones we went to school with.

When I was working for The Jackson Pioneer, my buddies at CHS would ask me about those Jackson High girls, who were supposed to be “fast.” Of course, the Jackson boys I ran into would tell he how lucky I was to go to school in Cape, where the girls were supposed to be “easy.”

I never DID catch up to any of those wild women. I guess they must have been faster than me in more than one way.

Photo 2 has Cherie Pind (Herbst) BTW I saw her recently at the Elks and she still dances wild like that — and looks just as good! Blonde girl to her right looks like Yvonne Askew.

Image 6 –The big group on the right side must be the Notre Dame kids Tom Meyer mentioned; you can tell because they’re not dancing, just standing around.

Image 9 (center) Cherie Pind, Yvonne Askew to the right shows Martha Hathaway in front of Joan Amblingmeyer.

I received this comment from Deborah Nance ’70:

Hi! My name is Deborah Nance – Cape Central Class of 1970.

There was a teen town that I went to on Saturday night on that road above Arena Park in Cape. They had a live band every weekend. Some smartaleck played I Fought the Law and the Law Won on the juke box one night as me and some of my girlfriends waited for an adult to pick us up one Saturday night. There was a policeman in the bldg by the door waiting to make sure all the teens had someone come by to pick us up.

We always got our hand stamped when we went, however, I can’t remember if we paid an admission fee. It was great to dance and visit with fellow classmates. Some of the kids were older than us and we knew some from seeing them around school.

At that time you didn’t have to worry about drugs or alcohol in the teen town bldg. At least I wasn’t approached with either one being offered to me as I never went to any beer busts or wild parties in that area.

I’m thankful I had a Mom who steered me away from that type of life. She always said if we ever tried smoking or drinking she hoped it made us very sick. My brother Doug Nance graduated from Central High with the class of 1971. Thanks for the photos and a chance to stroll down memory lane.
