Patty: I love that band reunion idea! The majorettes could twirl their canes!! Yeah! The cheerleaders could cheer from their rocking chairs and the ball players could suit up with ben gay patches instead of pads! haha Really, it is a good idea and would be fun to hear. Let me see, now...Andy, thank you about the pictures you'll take. Dale and Donnie, it would be good if the Rainelle and Rupert all school reunions could be coordinated to be the same year and dates. Rupert has theirs this summer (06)  Many "Rupertites" have said they would love to come to the Rainelle reunion and "crash" the dances  Yes, Donnie, this board is fun. As I read the posts and memories suddenly out of the cobwebs, a glimmer of light shines through and alas! a memory pops up. |

Donnie and Classmates,
A must read....a magazine from West Virginia called "West Virginia South".
In this Magazine Eddie McCall has written a wonderful feature article named "GYM-DANDIES" talking about old gymnaisums .A beautiful layout with a great picture of an old gym.....Eddie's writing is excellent, he takes you back to our days at the gyms with not only sports as the main function he mentions other activites such as sox hops, the proms,, etc...
This is Eddie's second time writing for the "West Virginia South".
His other article was a story about golf. A great story as well...
Again, a must read....Thank You Eddie for remembering our good ole days... Great Memories.....Do You Remember?
Eddie your mother, Mrs. McCall our fourth grade teacher, would be very proud of you.
As I am also,
Andy |

What fun!  Andy, I have to admit that you have it right about my golf game. I will injure someone. I've played about 15 times in my life and didn't improve so I gave it up. I figure you must have to play 20 or 30 times to get good at it, right? Patty, you have some great ideas. Tackling is definitely out even though I doubt we would hurt anyone unless we fell on them wrong. Letting Clarence play the last couple of plays with us would give him a whole new perspective on sports. Winning is fun. Marilyn, ask Clarence if the name "Crimson Tide" came from the color their faces were after looking at the scoreboard at the end of a game against the Rangers.
Marilyn, you had me laughing with the twirling canes and cheering from rockers. That was great. Don't be concerned about Rupertites crashing our dance. First, they would have to find the dance. Second, they would have to find the door. Third, even if they accomplished number and 1 and 2, they would be easy to identify. Have you ever seen a Rupertite dance? Their dancing makes even their football playing look good. Again, just teasing. We've got to keep the rivalry going. We'll start picking on Crichton next.

Speaking of Crichton......my husband played football for Crichton. He has spoken "fondly" of playing Rainelle. He remembers how the band played "When the Saints go Marching In" after EACH touchdown..... Guess he heard it so many times, it is burned in his memory!  |

LOL - that was hilarious, Janet, "burned in his memory". I can tell that your poor husband doesn't have a chance.
Another great memory - in your husband's honor....
Oh, when they crown... those Rangers king
Yes, when they crown those Rangers king
Oh yes, I want to be in that number
When they crown those Rangers king..
Our band and cheerleaders were great - they could rock the field with that song. Course, as Janet alluded to, they got plenty of practice at Crichton. .. and, at Meadow Bridge, Donnie, and, of course, Rupert.
Some digressing here -- I remember a game in the 1963-64 season when Coach Zopp brought in a former coach who gave us a fiery, pre-game motivational speech. He fired us up so much that, as I recall, Joe Skaggs ran down the field knocked an opposing ballplayer out cold on the first play. I was so pumped up that I had a very difficult time managing all that adrenaline on the bench. Hopefully, someone can refresh my memory on the coach and the game.

Oh, no, don't get me wrong! HE'S the one who says he'll never forget the song!  We've been married for 33 years,and he's learned to adjust to my sense of humor. If only he'd gone to RHS, he'd be perfect! |

Band. Did I hear Band
People…..We could have Trouble, Trouble with a capital “T”.
Oh we could have trouble, right there in no rain Rainelle City.
With a capital “T”. That rhymes with “P” and that stands for Parade
We surely could have trouble, right there in Rainelle City. Right there.
Gotta figger out a way to keep the old folks moral at the school.
Yes I say we could have “T”…..rouble right there in Rainelle City
And that rhymes with “B” and that stands for band, band with a capital “B”
I mean a huge, large, and extra long band with instruments of all shapes and sizes.
Professor Harold Hill conducting seventy-six trombones
And a hundred and ten cornets that will be followed by rows and rows
of the finest virtuo- Sos, the cream of ev'ry famous band.
Right there…… right there on Main Street in Rainelle City and that rhymes with Reunion
And that means 2007.

Folks I don’t know where to post this but this is just to interesting to not share with ya’’ll
Do you remember Walter Winchell?
Wish I could repeat the Walter Winchell telegraph sound but just imagine you heard it and
"Good evening Mr. and Mrs. North and South America and all the ships at sea....." "LETS GO TO PRESS"!
North Charleston, South Carolina
Woman charged in fight over toilet paper
An argument over toilet paper overflowed into a fight, sending one motel maid to the hospital and another to jail.
The maids at the Siesta Motor Lodge in North Charleston armed themselves with a plunger and mop after accusing each other of taking toilet paper from each other's cleaning carts, North Charleston police said.
Deloris Smith, 47, is charged with assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature. A magistrate set her bail Friday at $5,000.
The argument began about 9:40 a.m. Thursday in the motel's laundry room. The 52-year-old maid wounded in the scuffle said Smith grabbed a mop and hit her on the arms. She was taken to a hospital with minor injuries, police said.
Smith said she was defending herself from her co-worker's plunger.
