[WIMom]

Precious and Few was our homecoming theme one year.

How many had "Stairway to Heaven" for a theme?

[MasonGal]

I was in marching band too - a majorette. ...and then played trumped during the concert band season (after football season was over)

Ah - those were the days...

"Brandy, Rock the Boat, Precious and Few. "

Brandy... Looking Glass

Rock the Boat... Hues Corporation

Precious and Few... Climax (one of the great cheesy voices of all time)

Precious and Few was our homecoming theme one year.

Ours was "The Goodbye Girl" to our eternal shame.

I loved that black guy that said "The unnncola", while he was sitting in one of those huge wicker or rattan chairs. My little sis (born in 64) had her senior picture in a chair like that.

I've seen Fresca in Wisconsin.

[MasonGal]

How about the show *Here Comes the Brides* with Bobby Sherman - ....the bluest skies you've ever seen are in Seattle - Se ATT Le...

[GWfan]

How about Hot Line?

Pup N Taco, huge tacos for a quarter.

I think I lived in a culturally deprived area. I remember one episode of the Partridge Family where Keith talked about going down to get a taco to eat. I had no idea what he was talking about.

They had these in soCal, I had the 'requisite' divorced parents and spent time in socal and Texas.

I was working in Nawlins, New Orleans for non-southereners, and a guy I was having lunch with actually didn't know how to eat a taco. I was suitably aghast, but instructed him in the learned art.

What I really miss is soft drinks in returnable glass bottles. I guess you can still get them in some areas, but not here. Mt. Dew has never tasted quite the same.

Oh - and milk delivery! When I was little we still had milkmen.

[MichelleWSC]

I think TAB was the worst soft drink ever invented LOL I loved Fresca...the original not the new one.

[MasonGal]

My junior prom theme was Color My World. I cannot remember the Senior Prom Theme - the juniors gave us a lousy prom..

One year - Homecoming Theme was MacArthur's Park. (I never COULD figure out that song)

[GWfan]

We used to fight over who would marry Bobby Sherman!!ROTFL! He had a record (a 45) that we cut out of the back of Honeycomb cereal! I don't remember what it was, but it was the only time I ate Honeycomb.

[MichelleWSC]

I remember the milkman...just barely though.

[MasonGal]

We never had Stairway to Heaven as a theme for any of our dances - but it was played at all of the dances. Everyone like it because it was a great - LONG - SLOW dance. :))

[GWfan]

Where did you grow up? I swear that those were the themes at my HS too.

Mr. Green Jeans

Remember how he used to pick up a bass fiddle and play it sideways, like a guitar? What a joker.

"Just fur on the edge of the hood. "

Whew! Before I saw what you were replying to, I thought this was a drive-in movie subplot!

I had the biggest crush on him! Never misses the show!
