“A camel makes an elephant feel like a jet plane.”

Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
Today's
Newsletter theme suggestion came last night from my husband,
Paul Harty (Bardolph HS, IL - '61) of IL - which was a very
good thing, I must say, because I could think of absolutely nothing!
Thanks, Paul!
BONUS - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tN2xQ2zqmCI - Baby Elephant Walk - Sequence from Hatari!,1962
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baby_Elephant_Walk:
"Baby Elephant Walk" is a tune written in 1961 by composer Henry Mancini, for the 1962 release of the movie Hatari! The composer combines brass instruments (including repeated blasts from the tuba) and woodwind elements to convey the sense of a toddler that is large and plodding, but nonetheless filled with the exuberance of youth. The catchy, jazzy simplicity of the tune has made it one of Mancini's most popular works, prompting its appearance on nearly twenty later compilation and best of/greatest hits albums. As the allmusic.com album review states, "if Hatari! is memorable for anything, it's for the incredibly goofy 'Baby Elephant Walk,' which has gone on to be musical shorthand for kookiness of any stripe. Get this tune in your head and it sticks."
NEWBIES:

Carol,
Hi,
George! Yessir, 'deed we do! Thanks for the update on your new site location. Yes, please include me on your “misnamed” alumni pages even though I’m a “Farmer.” Particularly enjoy references to TJ and Walter Reed Elementary Schools and possibly seeing mention of whereabouts of Walter Reed classmates Claudia Steele, Mary Ann Edwards, Phil Turner, Billy Cox, and Bernie Cohen, among many others. And surprised there is no mention of the Orrsville basketball and football teams that played at the rec center and gave so many guys their first organized sports experience. Visiting site from time to time is a real treat! Thx again – George “Bud” Leonard/WHS ‘60
Thanks so much,
Bud! Welcome aboard!

From Jerry Blanchard ('62) of VA -
03/22/10 - "Buckroe":
Carol, I was in Hampton today, in the Buckroe area, and decided to stop by the beach. It has been many, many years since I have been there. WOW! What a change. When I saw the old light house the memories came flooding back. From my earliest memories, up to my late teens, they came back. Tried to explain to my son where everything was. Some of the happiest days of my life are from time on that beach. I have included a couple of shots... Jerry Blanchard (Class of 62) of Va. |

What to do when really bored...
1. Kill a few flies
2. Put them in the sun to dry for one hour.
3. Once they are dry, pick a pencil and paper... Let your imagination flow.
Here are a few
examples... |
