10/19/10 - NNHS Newsletter - It's My Party |
|
“Have you ever been in love? Horrible
isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up
your heart
-
Neil
Gaiman |
Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
Today would
have been
my daddy's (the late
Robert Buckley - John Marshall HS - '25)
(19 Oct 1907 - 25 Apr 1960)
103rd birthday party, but well, you know...
Today's Newsletter is being repeated from exactly five years ago today:
http://nnhs65.com/10-19-05-NNHS-Its-My-Party.html
BONUS - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsYJyVEUaC4 - It's My Party - Leslie Gore, Hollywood A Go Go, 1965
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It%27s_My_Party_%28song%29:
"It's My Party" is a song most famously sung by American singer Lesley Gore in 1963. This song hit #1 on the pop and rhythm and blues charts in the United States. [1]. "It's My Party", peaked at #9 in the United Kingdom, becoming Gore's only major hit there. It was the first hit single for producer Quincy Jones.
The song lyrically portrays the discomfiture of a teenage girl at her birthday party when her boyfriend Johnny disappears only to surface in the company of Judy, another girl, who is "wearing his ring" to indicate she's replaced the birthday girl as his love interest.
The song's chorus, "It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to... You would cry too if it happened to you," became a part of American pop cultural language as a phrase used to describe being utterly humiliated and miserable during an event that is supposed to be a happy occasion.
"It's My Party" was written in 1962 by John Gluck, Wally Gold and Herb Weiner...

ANSWERS TO RANDOM QUESTIONS HEARD AT THE REUNION:
1. From Pete Tench ('65) of VA - 10/15/10 - Q.: "How long do you spend working on the website and/or Newsletter each day?":
A.: Generally from twelve to fourteen hours a day.
The regular issues
of the Newsletter almost invariably begin with song selection.
Graphics and quotations follow. Sometimes it's fairly quick; sometimes
it's not. The background stories, homework, and history lessons
are included wherever possible because I suppose I really did want to be
a teacher after all. I just didn't want to go to school.
Ever.
‹(•¿•)›
The processing of any images - whether they are sent to me or I scan
them myself - consumes by far the most time (saving, PhotoShopping,
compressing, resaving, renaming, uploading, etc.) and space.
That's why I'm always and ever stalling - oh, I mean,
running behind - on posting them.
Often there is a great deal of research involved in throughout the production of each Newsletter. This tends to be invisible to the reader, but seems to take me a bit of time. Memorial Editions are in a league of their own. According to their content, they can run from super fast to super long to create, depending on the number of images and scanning involved, the number of Guest Book entries (each of which must be copied and pasted separately), choosing the Divider Line clip art, and whether or not they must be cross posted into the In Memoriam section of the site. Much of the time involved in each of those Memorial Editions comes from the selection of the attached hymn or other music. Sometimes that music will pop right into my mind; often I will need to wait a while for inspiration. Despite appearances, they are never chosen randomly. At any rate, whether anyone reads them or not, I gain a great deal of satisfaction from producing Newsletters or any work on the site itself, because they are lasting (as opposed to time spent in cooking, which while apparently necessary, is quickly consumed and just makes me fatter).
Thanks, Pete!

Ahhhh, the good old days
of youth. As I recall, Mrs. Ransone's first name was Margaret. She was a
fine and caring teacher who took a lot of interest in her students. Ivan Anker '67
Correct on all counts,

From Mark Friedman ('65) of VA -
"New Aspirin ---serious---":
New
Aspirin---serious stuff
This is good info. We did not know that you should not lie down while waiting for the EMT! Heart attack info NEW ASPIRIN/ Serious stuff, no joke!!
Just a
reminder to all: purchase a box, keep one in your car,
pocketbook, wallet, bedside, etc.
IMPORTANT READ......
Something that we can do to help ourselves. Nice to know.
Bayer is making crystal aspirin to dissolve under the tongue.
They work
much faster than the tablets.
Why keep aspirin by your bedside? About Heart Attacks There are other symptoms of an heart attack besides the pain on the left arm. One must also be aware of an intense pain on the chin, as well as nausea and lots of sweating, however these symptoms may also occur less frequently. Note: There may be NO pain in the chest during a heart attack..
The majority of
people (about 60%) who had a heart attack during their sleep, did
not wake up. However, if it occurs, the chest pain may wake you up
from your deep sleep.
If that
happens, immediately dissolve two
aspirins in
your mouth and
swallow them with a bit of water.
Afterwards: CALL 911 - say "heart attack!" - say that you have taken 2 aspirins.. - phone a neighbor or a family member who lives very close by
- take a
seat on a chair or sofa near the front door, and wait for
their arrival and...
DO NOT lie down!
A
cardiologist has stated that, if each person, after
receiving this e-mail, sends it to 10 people, probably one
life can be saved!
I have already shared the information- - What about you? Do forward this message; it may save lives! Thanks so
much, Liz and Mark!
I'd also recommend that we keep our cell phones on our person whenever possible - particularly those who live alone! |

It's My Party
Written by John Gluck, Wally Gold and Herb Weiner, 1962
Recorded by
Lesley Gore
(b. 02 May 1946), 1963
Nobody knows where my Johnny has
gone;
Judy left the same time.
Why was he holding her hand
When he's supposed to be mine?
It's my party and I'll cry if I want to,
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to,
You would cry too if it happened to you.
Play all my records, keep dancing all night,
But leave me alone for a while.
'Til Johnny's dancing with me,
I have no reason to smile.
It's my party and I'll cry if I want to,
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to,
You would cry too if it happened to you.
Judy and Johnny just walked through that door
Like a queen with her king.
Oh, what a birthday surprise:
Judy's wearing his ring.
It's my party and I'll cry if I want to,
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to,
You would cry too if it happened to you.
