“Let us all sing…”HAPPY BIRTHDAY ” to GAIL”

May 12th “Let us all sing…”HAPPY BIRTHDAY ” to GAIL”

Rounding up – – as many of our old “CLASS-MATES” – – as possible – – and start to sing that very old favorite – – that we all like to hear – – only… once a year… “HAPPY BIRTHDAY!”

Standing on the swing – – looks like Gail Porter and sitting on the swing seat looks like Patsy Counts – – could be in 1950 or even 1951 – – – which would make us – NOW – – “senior citizens” – – and we still…. would like to take a “high flying ” swing – – if at all possible??

Sure would have been terrific – if only I had something better – – than… the little old box camera – – which… I was then… taking pictures – – in the good old days – – – and expecting that… they would turn out – – “picture perfect” – – but – – not really knowing how to take …”perfect photos” – – would end up… with getting an over-lapping … of people in the photos – – since “someone” – – did not remember to advance the film????

Left to right on this photo… looks like Beverly Porter… Gail Porter… and Barbara Henry.

This is another… little part of … a double exposed photo. On the left and arms high into the air .. is Melba Michaud… sitting on the slide and in front in Stella Marie Santoyo… and on the slide and sitting up and above Stella… is Jeanne Saettele …. – – and on the right – – holding her arms up – – as we play “LONDON BRIDGE” – as those that are coming down the “SLIDE” – – get caught going under… the “LONDON BRIDGE” – – is very difficult to make out… the only one – – also a girl in my class – – that I can think of – – – that by the dress and hair style – – might be Violet Pfeiffer.

So much… for “FUN and GAMES” – – NOW… for the best part of the BIRTHDAY PARTY – —– CAKE and ICE CREAM – – guess that we might have to sing first… the “HAPPY BIRTHDAY” song.. to our class mate… GAIL Porter!
