When I lived in Houston, a brand of potato chips called Morton's was popular. I remember they made something called "Chip-O's".

I've also been trying to locate information for George Washington Jr. High. It is now the High School for Law Professions. I went there from 73-76.
The school still has an amphitheater in the back.
