Thanks EB, but that's not what I was thinking of. |

Kellyroad, thanks for those pictures. That picture of the microphone brought back some memories. When PA announcements came on, did it "ding" or make a sound? Then, I remember when an announcement came on, "boys and girls, sit in your seats for the following announcements". Guess, if we stood, we couldn't hear. And, didn't the girls hang their coats on the left side of the hooks, and the boys on the right? |

EB, a friend of mine worked at SH for a long time. She was one of the office ladies there. She's from Capac. I didn't realize you lived so close before. |

My brother in law wanted to set up a bar on a raft & float it up the Belle River which ran through both our place & SH. He figured he'd do a lively business. I think that, given the current population of SH, he'd be better off selling drugs. |

Laing: Good question. I seem to remember there was some kind of sound prior to the PA announcements; however, I do recall fellow students saying "be quiet, they're listening to us" when the teacher was out of the room. The PA system was also an intercom device too. The PA system in the above picture I believe is the original. It was installed in 1963 shortly after the 4 classrooms on the Rex side were added. A short 3 months after the installation (I've said this before) the announcements of Kennedy's shooting, prayers, and final his death were made by a crying Sr. Leonita on that PA system. |

Reminds me of the M.A.S.H episode when Radar was trying to teach Klinger how to use the PA system. Klinger kept on spitting into the mike instead of blowing. |

JC: 5th, (St. Robert Marie and Mrs. Pierce). Sr. Robert Marie left for the office after the announcement, came back, kept her composure somewhat, and led the class in prayer. |

This makes more sense if you sing it. I believe these were the lyrics. Were any of our gals cheerleaders?
Thunder, Thunderation
We're the St. Jude delegation
When we fight with determination
We create a sensation! |

Z, those lyrics make more sense than what I was thinking:
"OohSaSaSa.
OohSaSaSa.
Hit 'em on the head
With a big kielbasa". |

HI All -
Sorry, no slacking today - and I missed my turn at the flag raising - dang it! Now, I think 7K is singing the St. FLorian's theme song, but Z, I remember your version - and running out on the gym floor at Guardian Angels cheering you boys on to victory!
I don't have a clue as to where those rugs went and I doubt Fr. Robert would either. This was way before his time, and during a time I left SJS for AG. I was not a happy camper when decisions were made by Father Sayers who was pastor at the time. The meetings that I did attend, were pretty much, sit down, be quiet, and pay for what I want done around here. He had grand visions of atriums and year round gardens...Oh well, past is past and I'm glad I'm back, |

Z: Thanks for the blast from the past. Now that you mention it, I do remember those lyrics....Man I wish I could find that 1961 St. Jude football program. |

Thunderation cheer was repeated 3 times, louder with each go.
Another cheer was
Clap your hands
Stomp your feet
ST.Jude, St. Jude can't be beat. |

And who could forget
Listen my children and you shall hear
Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere
He went up the alley and down the street
Yelling 'ST.Jude, St. Jude can't be beat' |

Kellyroad-Too late. I already skipped school and had my treats too.
KR and Z: The only address I get for PIME is on Quincy Street in Detroit. But, as I recall, it was somewhere I think around Romeo Plank and one of the upper mile roads. I don't think we went all the way into Oakland County because Mom was always so overly cautious and she would only go if it were on the east side. I recall a fair amount of open land and we sat outside and had a picnic with BBQ and the stuff that goes with. My mom I think would know for sure.
Gotta go for now. I'm writing the test answers on my arm. See you in the morning at school. |

I think we need one of you ladies to demonstrate these cheers for us so we can get the proper voice inflections and true Jet devotion. I'd recommend a video posted on FB. |

Oh, no, you don't want to see that. Unless you are all coming to visit me in the hospital afterwards, that is. And I mean you too, ZZ |

With an ear of sweet corn, some cucumbers in sour cream, and some fresh green beans. Apple crisp with vanilla ice cream for dessert. Oh, and don't forget the dark roast coffee with half and half. |
