These really were the GOOD OLE DAYS

Slide 4: 

I'm talkin' bout hide and seek at dusk, Red light, Green light Red Rover, Red Rover, Simon Says, Ring around the Rosie, London Bridge

Slide 8: 

Go back before the Internet or PC or the MAC Before semi-automatics and crack Before Playstation, SEGA, Super Nintendo, even before Atari

Slide 10: 

Before cell phones, CD's, DVD's, voicemail and e-mail Parents stood on the front porch and yelled (or whistled) for you to come home - no pagers or cell phones

Slide 12: 

Take One Giant Step - May I? Seeing shapes in the clouds Being out with your friends all day and no one worried about you missing

Slide 14: 

Endless summer days and hot summer nights with the windows open (no A/C)‏. The sound of crickets. Before the Internet, PC or MAC. Before semi-automatics and crack

Slide 16: 

Before Play Station, SEGA, Super Nintendo, even before Atari Before cell phones, CD's, DVD's, voice mail and e-mail Go way back, way, way, way back

Slide 18: 

Running through the sprinkler Cereal boxes with that GREAT prize in the bottom Cracker jacks with the same thing in it

Slide 20: 

Riding with the car window down - on purpose! Ice pops with 2 sticks you could break and share with a friend

Slide 22: 

Watchin' Saturday morning cartoons Tom and Jerry, Captain Midnight, Cisco Kid, The Lone Ranger Boston Blackie, serial adventures

Slide 24: 

Your first day of school Catchin' lightning bugs in a jarChristmas morning Bedtime Prayers and Goodnight Kisses NO fire ants!

Slide 26: 

Climbing trees Swinging as high as you could in those long swings to try and reach the sky A million mosquito bites and sticky fingers

Slide 28: 

Jumpin' down the steps Being tired from PLAYING WORK: meant taking out the garbage, mowing the grass, washing the car, or doing the dishes Your first crush

Slide 30: 

Your first kiss (I mean the one that you kept your mouth CLOSED and your eyes OPEN)‏ Rainy days at school and the smell of damp concrete and chalk erasers

Slide 31: 

Oh, we're not finished yet . . .

Slide 32: 

Kool-Aid was the drink of the summer So was a swig from the water hose - it tasted different then Your friends riding on the handlebars of your bike

Slide 33: 

Attaching pieces of cardboard to your bike frame to rub against your spokes Wearing your new shoes on the first day of school

Slide 34: 

Class Field Trips with soggy sandwiches When nearly everyone's mom was at home when the kids got there from school

Slide 35: 

When a quarter seemed like a fair allowance, and another quarter a MIRACLE When your parents took you to the cafeteria and it was a real treat

Slide 36: 

When ANY parent could discipline ANY kid, or feed him, or use him to carry groceries and nobody, not even the kid, thought a thing of it

Slide 37: 

When being sent to the principal's office (or having Mr. Black) was nothing compared to the fate that awaited you at home

Slide 38: 

Basically, we were in fear for our lives but it wasn't because of drive-by shootings, drugs, gangs, etc. We simply did not want our parents to get mad at us

Slide 39: 

Didn't that feel good? Just to go back and say, "Yeah, Iremember that!" Well, let's keep going!!

Slide 40: 

Let's go back to the time when Decisions were made by going "eeny-meeny-miney-mo“ Mistakes were corrected by simply exclaiming, "do over!"

Slide 41: 

"Race issues" meant arguing about who ran the fastest Catching fireflies could happily occupy an entire evening-where did they go?

Slide 42: 

It wasn't odd to have two or three "best" friends The worst thing you could catch from the opposite sex was cooties Nobody was prettier than Mom

Slide 43: 

Scrapes and bruises were kissed by mom and made better Getting a foot of snow was a dream come true Abilities were discovered because of a "double-dog-dare"

Slide 44: 

Spinning around, getting dizzy and falling down was cause for gigglesThe worst embarrassment was being picked last for a team. Water balloons were the ultimate, ultimate weapon.

Slide 45: 

If you can remember most or all of these, then you have lived during a more pleasant simpler time !

Slide 46: 

Those of you who remember will have lived in an era that no one else will ever experience. The era has passed and slowly those of us who lived it are passing also.

Slide 47: 

We went from AM radio to the stars. Your era is here, be part of it. Make it worthwhile for future generations to build on. Keep God in your lives. We did!

Slide 74: 

We would never trade our amazing friends, our wonderful life, or our loving family for less gray hair or a flatter belly. As we've aged, we've become kinder and less critical of ourselves. We've become our own best friend.

Slide 75: 

We don't chide ourselves for eating that extra cookie, not making our bed, or buying that silly cement gecko that We didn't need. We are entitled to a treat, to be messy, to be extravagant.

Slide 76: 

We have seen too many dear friends leave this world too soon; before they understood the great freedom that comes with aging. Whose business is it if we choose to read or stay on the computer until 4 AM and sleep until noon?

Slide 77: 

We will dance with ourselves to those wonderful tunes of the 50 & 60's, and if we, at the same time, wish to weep over a lost love, we will.

Slide 78: 

We will walk the beach in a swim suit that is stretched over a bulging body, and will dive into the waves with abandon if we choose to, despite the pitying glances from the jet set.

Slide 79: 

They, too, will get old. We know we are sometimes forgetful. We are so blessed to have lived long enough to have our hair turning gray

Slide 80: 

We now have our youthful laughs be forever etched into deep grooves on our face. So many have never laughed, and so many have died before their hair could turn silver.

Slide 82: 

As we get older, it is easier to be positive. We care less about what other people think. We don't question ourselves anymore. We've even earned the right to be wrong.

: 

MAY WE BE FRIENDS FOREVER! May our friendships never come apart especially when it's straight from the heart! May we always have a rainbow of smiles on our faces and in our hearts forever and ever!

In Memory. . . : 

In Memory. . . of our departed classmates and teachers, we dedicate this gift to you. To our classmates in celebration of your youthful spirit. To the teachers who contributed to our growth and our adult life successes. We miss you all and honor your memory with this remembrance poem.

Slide 145: 

Sanford Central High School, Class of 1966 Life lay before us,There was so much to do.The world was ours to conquer and exploreWhen we left Sanford Central High School’s door.There were jobs to be foundFurther education to be had,And someday becoming Moms and Dads.

Slide 146: 

Some chose to travel many miles awayFor others, Sanford was the place to stay. Some may have accomplishedMost of the things they had plannedAnd think their life has just been grand.While in other lives

Slide 147: 

Many changes had to be made,And had to make adjustmentsAlong life’s way. But no matter whatAs we gather once more,I’m sure we’re gladWe’ve made it this far.

Slide 148: 

As we renew old acquaintances And talk about things we used to do, Some have departed this life along the wayAnd are absent from our gathering today.Now as their names are rememberedSome will remember things they did or said.

Slide 149: 

Faces will become vivid once moreEven though they haven’t come thru the door.So let us live our livesMindful of the things we say and do,For the next one missingCould be me or you.
