The Cullen Bobcats wore Maroon and light gray. I just spoke to one of the ladies in their office. The school is on Scott st. So they would have been one of our rivals. ...Oh wow, check out the pick in post 57. Look at the sign on the fence. It says CULLEN. I just noticed that. -
I'm thinking it's Connie Wood. I emailed Olga Campos and she mentioned Connie as being one of the cheerleaders. I wrote to her to tell her about the cheerleader pics. She came to HAIF and saw them and said "What a blast from the past!" Her parents still live on Weaver right there by Jackson. I think Lynn Ayers might be the other one in that pic. Olga also mentioned she was still in touch with Lynn. She recently went to her birthday Party.

She was a great Texas Lady. The world seems a little more empty without her.

I checked on the Texas High School Stadium Database Texasbob.com and it has Barnett Stadium as being built in 1976. I graduated in 1975 and never went to a game at Barnett. I think thats where Austin ended up playing their home games. Glad I was NOT there for that. Jeppesen Stadium was so very cool. I remember I was going to go to Austins homecoming game in 1977 but found out it was held at Barnett stadium and chose not to go. I drove by the stadium and was very disappointed at what I saw. It was just another stadium. No history like Jeppesen.

I remember a Barnett stadium but it didnt open until 1976. I remember all of Austins home games were played at Jeppesen Stadium, at least until 1976.

I never went to a single football game at Jackson. Where did they play? Oh, Donna Phillips became a majorette at Austin and was the drum major her senior year 1974 right after Tracy Bloomfield in 1973. She was one of the sweetest people I have ever met not to mention very very pretty.

Where in the world did you come up with these pics? They are incredible. In the cheerleader pics was one of the blondes Bonnie Kruse and the other Donna Phillips?The one with the brown hair looks kinda like Kathy Seeber and the other one with long dark hair looks like Sylvia Lamas. I remember Olga but I was friends with her sister Edna and her brother Adrian. I had forgotten what Mr. Skains looked like. I still have a orange and white trash can that says Jackson Leopards on it. I bought it during gym class. Its nice to have someone remember the same places and people that I do. Like Bob Hope said.. Thanks for the memories.

I was there from fall of 69 til spring of 72. It was pretty quiet for the most part. My first year there was when intergration started. I remember the first morning the bussing started. We were pretty nervous and those kids getting off the busses were more nervous than we ever thought about being. Some kids got into fist fights but for the most part it was calm. I remember the drugs but it was mostly pot. I cant remember anyone taking heroin or cocaine and crack was still far in the future. I lucked out. My time spent there was very mellow, same as with Austin.

Thanks for posting. The Majestic Metro photo is great. I love black and white pics and a bit of old mixed with the new. Brought back memories. Thanks again.

Yep. thats the golden age bottle I remember. Mom bought cans because we went to Galveston and there was no glass allowed on Stewart Beach. I remember slushes too. My dad always took me to get one at a tiny drive in burger place on the corner of Wayside and one of the avenues between Harrisburg and Canal. This was after he took me to Mason Park and we were on the way home. That slush was a tradition. -

Is Houston a bad place for someone with eczema?
EastEnd Susan replied to C2H's topic in Way Off Topic
I just went to an allergist and tested positive to every kind of mold there is. Allergist said thats why my sinuses are a mess and why my face gets a red rash. You cant escape it here. Its everywhere. Inside and out. I've been here for 50 years and you just learn to cope. I love Houston and the surrounding areas way to much to move. Just think, the humidity keeps you looking younger. -
Lol. Thanks y'all. Its 7 in the morning and I'm laughing my hiney off at hiney. Too funny.

There was a small grocery store on the corner of 67th and Canal called Richeys. It was a Lucky 7 store. They sold Golden Age sodas. My mom always bought them because their cream soda was the best. They had long skinny triangles going around the can. -

Oh my god, I actually have that song on a 45. The lyrics on that site for this song are wrong though. The correct lyric is.. Make me dress in fishnet stockings, not business stockings. lol. It was great to hear the song again.

What movie was Johnny are you Queer in? I can't remember. Josie Cotten was onstage singing it. It was near the end of the movie.

My Grandma always bought all of our christmas decorations at Joskes in Gulfgate. I remember their basement looked like a winter wonderland at christmas time. Anytime we were at Gulfgate we ate at the Bamboo Room in Joskes basement. They had these fake frosted windows with tree branches illuminated from behind them. It made you think you were up in the air rather than down under the ground. They had the best ice cream sodas. I even remember the waitresses name. Margie. She was a little blonde lady. My grandma liked their coffee cups so much she had them order her a set. I still have a couple of them around somewhere.
