From: JoAnn Moore
Shockley Poor Miss Gehrke, took
quite a bit of razing, at our reunion. But I want to share a story about her
that is a bit more flattering. I have shared it with some of the classmates
already and they seem to think I need to share it with all of you.As you all remember, I was married and had a baby before graduation. Well, if it had not been for Miss Gehrke, I would probably not have been in the graduating Class of 1964. Miss Gehrke taught the summer school classes, and I attended those classes between our junior and senior years. I remember her being adamant that I was going to graduate with "my class". And I was able to accomplish just that, between correspondence classes and summer school. If not for Miss Gehrke's encouragement I might not have that high school diploma from Moscow High School, Class of 1964. I have always been thankful for her belief in me. I also, have always wished that I had told her how much that meant to me. So to all of you that have other memories about a teachers special concern for you.........share! |
| From: Bill Sever Freshman Class "Hazing" was part of High School Tradition in 1961. Today, the school administration would be locked up for allowing it to happen..... We thought it was just part of growing up.. go figure! |
From: Steve BellDoes anybody remember our High School Play "Ask Any Girl". Our opera star (Carole Farley) played Meg Wheeler. I played "Alvin" and it took me months to memorize my 15 lines... Carole... the rest is history. Charles Hosack (Sitting), Carole Farley and Corkey Canode portraid the leeds in the All School Play "Ask Any Girl". They're shown in a sceen from the production. Supporting cast members were... Debbie Howe, Rocky Slutz, Dianne Weninger, Charlott Todd, Sidney Swensen, Jan Kindschy, Harriot Hagedorn, Michelle Dumas, Ginny Wickstrom, Susi Filatreau, Larry Seale, Steve Bell, Judy Johnston, Sharon Thompson, Mrs. Marilyn Smith - Drama and English instructor, directed the play while Bernie Carey assisted her as student director. |
| From: Name withheld by request Ah yes, the Senior Sneak at Twin Echos, probably the best planned booze run of the decade. The only problem I had was remembering what happened after sneaking my pint on the bus in a shoe box along with all the other injected oranges and watermellons others brought, let alone what had been previously been stashed in the bushes and then having to try to explain to the chaperones that the reason I was so sick was the tuna fish sandwich I ate. Then the mystery of walking across the stage wondering whether my diploma would be signed after being confronted by the school board as to where did it all come from. Somehow I survived it and my apologies to those offended, I have since learned not to get quite so carried away and was probably lucky to have passed out early in the event. If you know who this is, feel free to embarass me. |
| From: Phil Crossler One of my fondest memories involved the plays and musicals we performed as MHS and city of Moscow. My best memory was playing the part of Billy Bigelow in Carousel. I even remember parts of the music. Want to hear me sing the Soliloquy? No? , well, probably a good decision. I do remember playing opposite Carole Farley who was the lead female part. I even got to kiss her on stage in front of everyone! Now Carole is a famous Opera Star and I work for the State of Washington. Im sure one of her credits isnt that she sang with Phil Crossler in Moscow, Idaho. But Ill not forget. |
| From: Steve Bell Do you remember the Band bus trip with Walter Snodgrass (conductor)? We had a delightful weekend and performed an exchange concert for the people of Salmon Arm BC. Linda Daily, was always known for her poise, charm and good looks. She was also, more than, good natured when we went for a walk and a pigeon "pooped" directly on her head.. NOTE: Linda... would you like to get back at Steve for this... let me know.. |
| From: Names withheld (to protect the innocent) How many of you remember the Deary Strawberry Festival? Some of us do.... I remember my Senior year and a trip to the celebration in the village north of Moscow. We (you know who you are) had planned for weeks to make it a serious statement of our adult status. We'd acquired a few cases of malt beverage, some rum-soaked cigars and enough cash for incidentals... gas, food, etc. All went well in Deary. We danced, wondered the streets and even made it into the local bars without much challenge... but... on the way home, our designated driver had a problem keeping his car running (on the road). Maybe it was too much "malt beverage".. or... the fact that the beater we were in was better suited for local street use only. In either case, you can picture a little Plymouth coupe sitting off on the shoulder with it's "sobriety-challenged" occupants trying to figure out how they'll make it home without getting caught.... As luck would have it, another carload of MHS representatives saw our situation and gave us a ride back to the "big city". I do wonder, as I've grown older, how we managed to survive the chances we took... but... I'm grateful that we did... Then... I wonder if our kids have had similar experiences... but.. I probably really don't want to know. Does anyone want to talk about our Senior Sneak? |
