    Oh my gosh! I recall the 7th grade prom!  What fun and how funny we were.  My first date -- because my escort's father took us and picked us up.  Wow.

    I haven't heard but I will do some research. I would like to know what nursing home he is in and maybe talk to him o his wife in person. Please let me know of any info to facilitate that which you may get.

    Any film of any kind of our times or our school - even if it's shaky-like-crazy - is a treasure of BTW and North Dallas-Arlington-Park-Elm-Thicket-North-Park-White-Rock-Carrollton (where the Rainwaters and others were from)  history. I am trying to re-find my 1961 8mm film of our B.F. Darrell team at the City Elementary Track Meet, and our 7th-grade "prom" that same yea with clips of us clowning with Mr. Brigham.

    Does anyone happen to know if any former staff or students from BTW were able to get any film that was Mr. Gray's.  I understand he is in a nursing home, and his wife does not want visitors. Pretty bad condition he's in, I suppose. Somebody hollar!

    Yes, I loved those capes, too.  I love too the way our majorettes managed to twirl those skirts to show the color on the reverse side.  Too cool!

    I'm going to do some research, Carolyn. I've found through hanging with schoolmates at the office and other gatherings that our fellow Bulldogs are a prime source of such knowledge. Now...to get lots of us to share that info online would be GREAT!! -- Wish I could find the key to making that happen consistently among all of us! ... Just 20 seconds to add a name or fact -- even if it's a guess it will spark someone else's memory closer to the correct info, is what I've found in our talks in person. I hope we're all past any computer, internet, and website fears that may have hindered us from sharing earlier on.

    What a treasure.   I hope we have some history to go with the picture.  i.e., names, band leader,etc.

    You were, Hazel, like we were in 62-66 when marching and concert competition wins and trophies started flowing in. But I've got to say ... those capes here made the uniforms juuuust a cut above didn't they!?

    And I thought we were tough in '69! Ha!
