Old Times: Magic Days

I find that, from time to time, I like to drift back into my past and remember those things and people who, without knowing it or intending to do so, added bits and pieces toward who I'd eventually become...

Bill Woodcock and Nick Jones at the Elks Club while everybody else was decorating for the senior party. Woodcock always had a nickname for everyone. Mine was Tubby Tom, a name he gave me the first week I met him. He called Nick, "The Fine Young Man".

Allen Rugh and Chuck (Charles Allen) Peirson also at the decorating party. Woodcock dubbed Chuck as "All The Way Al".

Craig McEldowney. Craig, as I remember drove around in a little Metropolitan or Neopolitan or something like that. a little two-seater. If I remember correctly it was plenty roomy enough for Craig but anyone else who rode with him literally dragged their fingers on the ground.

I value the good will and memories of my classmates at Corvallis High School so let me know if you have a problem with an image on this site and I will remove it right away. The photos are intended for the enjoyment of those who were fortunate enough to live in a wonderful time at a wonderful place and to bring back those warm memories.

At the very end of our school year, just before graduation, my parents gave me a Poloroid camera as a graduation present, I suppose. I went crazy with it. Most of these photos were taken at the very end of our senior year, with that camera. I remember the all night party we had after graduation. Most of the photos were taken there or while some worked very hard decorating for it - as I remember, I didn't work very hard decorating but enjoyed the company of friends immensely.

If anyone would like a copy of any of these photos, simply right click on the photo and choose the "save image as..." option and save it to your computer.

I'm not going to post all of the photos at one time, but intend to string them out some, to arouse your curiosity.

If anyone would like to post photos on this page or to let classmates know what has become of them, please email the info to me and I'll post them. Photos and posts can be of anything past or present. Memories of our senior year are especially welcome...
enjoy.
