Sophomore Year 1966-1967 Part II

 

Here I am in different groups or clubs. Do you see yourself in some of them? FBLA was my favorite, as I really enjoyed learning about business classes, I also enjoyed Pep Club. Mostly this is where I made so many good friends!

I actually got an award from GAA this year. It the good-benchmanship award! OK, you can laugh now.

 

I do have a story of my sweatshirt from Girls League. Does anyone else remember the golden sweatshirts? Anyway that year in summer school, Mona U and I took auto mechanics class and we were the only two girls. So we got stuck doing a lot of cleaning of the car parts. I spilled some cleaner fluid on my sweat shirt and never did get it off. I still wore that sweatshirt for years after I graduated, stained spot and all. It was the only item of clothing that had my name on it!

Yep, I was a Candy Striper!

I didn't make it in this picture, but do know most of those who are. Remember you make friends for life in your high school years.

 The next two pictures are of the different clubs we had on campus.

Most of these clubs met at lunch time, it was a busy, crazy, quick lunch!

Even though I wasn't in choir, I did enjoy their concerts and decided to put it in for those who were in it. Enjoy!

Also thought it would be fun to add this picture of a part of Foothill Shopping Center:

Next we will start on my junior year or 11th grade! Give me a few days, because it will take me awhile to think of what pictures I want to use. Also thanks for sharing my memories!

Sophomore Year 1966-1967 Part I

 The cover on the yearbook.
Where to start??? Here is a blurry picture of me starting off my sophomore year, 1966.

 

I was lucky enough to be able to enjoy all four years at Azusa, 10th grade no exception, had more friends and did a bit more. Here are some friends starting off with football. I went to all the games, mostly with friends and my parents. In my freshman year, I mostly went with my father, as my brother played on a team, and my girlfriends would ask, "Who is that man you're with?" I had to let them know that was my father. They would then said, "WOW!, he is good looking." I will have to go through some of my other pictures and see if I can find one of dad, during that time and you can judge for yourselves. So here are a couple of pictures of football:

 The first I put up because of the autograph.The guy who wrote that autograph was a guy who work at the local grocery store. I think every girl flirted with him. He went to a different high school, but was a lot of fun to talk too, so I just had to have him sign my yearbook. Wonder what has happened to him?? The next picture is from one of our pep rally's with Steve (from my class) coming through papered hoop. Janet O, do you see yourself? Again another good year for pep rallies!
 Next is a picture of the homecoming court, as the queen is receiving her crown!  It was cool for the previous year's queen to come back and pass the crown on. They were all nice girls, anyone of them could have won, but I did like Sharon.
 

 

Guess we will do the dances first. 

Here is the pictures from our Christmas Dance:

These are the pictures taken at home. Mom always took a picture of Kent and I. Yep, she made this dress too!

This picture made the yearbook. Here Janet and Robert are visiting me and my date Bob. Yes, I did date more than one guy in my four years! I went out with Bob a couple of times before this dance. My mother and his mom work at GTE during the time and I was a blind date that they (our moms) set up. Can you believe that one? Well, they did. We started liking each other, but after Bob would drop me off from a date, then I would go out with Jim. I was even engaged to Bob for a week, and we both knew that it wouldn't work out. I was way too young then. I think I only said yes at the time he asked because he was in the Air Force and older than I. And I really liked his family. But by New Year's I was back with Jim, as you can see:

What is funny, is the outfit I am wearing is one, Bob bought me for Christmas. Hey, pretty good, I was a lot thinner then! Dating two guys at once was a challenge.

On to the Valentine's Dance: This time I went with Kenny C. Also group dated with my friends Debbie, Jim M., and Lynn and Jim F. (Debbie and Lynn are sisters.) The picture of my brother and his date, were the next year. I goofed and put them on this page and I decided not to change it. Sorry, Kent. (But the colors went well with the page.)

 My mom made this dress too! And I felt embarrassed in it, as it wasn't modest for enough for me. I enjoy our group date after the dance, good food at a local restaurant!
Lynn was the freshman princess that year. That was even more exciting for me! So I put this picture in for her.

The next pictures are of my first prom! Since Jim was a junior and asked me to go, even though I was a sophomore, I went!! This I think was my favorite dress, of the dresses my mother made. It was a cold night and the pictures were taken outside. This prom was out in Ontario area and Jim had a car and was able to drive.
Quoting from the yearbook: "Flaming torches illuminated the pathway leading to the entrance of the Royal Tahitian in Ontario. This was the site of the junior-senior prom held May 20. The class of '68, sponsoring this event, harnessed the captivation charm of the Polynesian atmosphere in their theme "This Side of Paradise." I know I had a good time!

Here is a good picture of my friends Robert and Janet. The black and white on top I bought from the photographer as my brother Kent and his date are in it.
This is where I will stop for now and hopefully get some time tomorrow to continue.
