Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
In case you're
wondering, the song themes for the regular Monday, Wednesday, and Friday
Newsletters are still being
taken from Dave Spriggs' ('64 - of VA) fabulous Reunion CDs. David
locates all the MIDI files and lyrics for those. (We're
about halfway through the second of the five CDs now.) When I throw in an
extra edition such as this, the song themes more
than likely come from my Magic Shower, and I'll locate those lyrics and MIDIs.
If you're not
familiar with my Magic Shower, here's the story. My Magic Shower has a
special ability to dispense wisdom,
knowledge, and guidance. Quite frequently in the morning, as I step into the
shower, as the water pours over me, a song (or
more often a song fragment) pours over me as well. When I finish my shower, I
Google the words and am often astonished
by what I find.
This is one of those Magic Shower songs.

From Ron Miller ('59) of NC - 04/04/05:
The most amazing "freeze" I ever
saw was in the '58 season, by either Princess Ann, or Cradock, I think. They
actually froze the ball for the last 3 or 4 minutes of the game to prevent the
Typhoon from scoring 100 points!!
The crowd was booing them like crazy. The next day the entire NNHS student body
was treated to the
unbelievable announcement over the PA system during homeroom, that the
principal, Mr. George McIntosh,
had written aletter to the opponent's principal demanding an apology for their
unsportsmanlike conduct!
(Never did hear if they did apologize!)
WOWZERS!!! I never heard that story before! Thanks, Ronnie!

What Is This Thing Called Love?
- Cole Porter
I was a hum-drum person
Leading a life apart
When love flew in through my window wide
And quickened my hum-drum heart
Love flew in through my window
I was so happy then
But after love had stayed a little while
Love flew out again
What is this thing called love?
This funny thing called love?
Just who can solve its mystery?
Why should it make a fool of me?
I saw you there one wonderful day
You took my heart and threw it away
That’s why I ask the lord in heaven above
What is this thing called love?
You gave me days of sunshine
You gave me nights of cheer
You made my life an enchanted dream
’til somebody else came near
Somebody else came near you
I felt the winter’s chill
And now I sit and wonder night and day
Why I love you still?
