Homecoming Pep Fest
Friday, October 7, 1960, our Junior year
 
Now, here's a doozy!  It's Jerry Springer (Business: typing) and Rae Wilbur (Phy. Ed.)

"Hold on!  Stop the proceedings!"  Mr. Springer jokingly protests the selection of Queen Kay Flattem and King Larry Sondrall. 
He contends that he and Miss Wilbur merit the titles the Homecoming Royalty hold!
"Paddle the Pats" was the slogan that year.  The game ended unhappily for the Teddies with Henry 21, Roosevelt 7.


Photo and some text by '61 Sagamore photographer and staff
Note:  Rae Wilbur passed away on October 25, 2008.  The obituary can be found on the Star Tribune site - 11/4/08.

  Cynthia Fritzke submitted two meaningful photos taken in the Grand Hall of the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto, Ontario,  Canada on June 2, 2008. 
  "This is also where the Stanley Cup is kept.  The original is encased in a locked vault and is open to go in and look at it.

  The second Stanley Cup is on display in the Grand Hall for picture taking, and the current Stanley Cup was already in Detroit for the play offs that week." 

  Cindy says, "It was fun to tell my grandsons about Bob Johnson being one of my high school teachers and our high school hockey coach."

 ~ More May Be Forthcoming! ~
I regret that at this time, I am unable to include the full hour of video.  Tom did a great job.  Thanks for sharing your video with us. 
Tom's presentation included Lance Heddan, the '67 class president, many Sagamore pictures, the '67 classmates in 1992, and topics of interest where he interviewed these classmates, such as:  1) "Proud Moments",
2) "Fondest Memory", 3) "Most Embarrassing situation", 4) "Most Outrageous moment", 5) "Most Dismal memory", 6) "Have You Grown Up?", and 7) "If You Could Relive".  He even manages to toss in a couple commercials.  There is one with President Reagan advertising Borateem Borax and another with Tommy, featuring Kellogg's Pep cereal.
Produced by Tom Thompson, RHS '67
