Happy 4th of
July
INDEPENDENCE
DAY
This
has been around for a few years, but thought it good to
remind us, where we all came from. Great time to grow
up
How’s This For Nostalgia?
All the girls had
ugly gym uniforms?
|

It took three minutes for the TV to warm up?

Nobody owned a purebred dog?

When a quarter was a decent allowance?

You ' d reach into a muddy gutter for a penny?

Your
Mom wore nylons that came in two pieces?

You got your windshield cleaned, oil checked, and gas
pumped, without asking, all for free, every time? And you
didn ' t pay for air? And, you got trading stamps to boot?

Laundry detergent had free glasses, dishes
or towels hidden inside the box?

It was considered a great privilege to be taken out to
dinner at a real restaurant with your parents?

They threatened to keep kids back a grade if they failed. .
and they did it!

When a 57 Chevy was everyone ' s dream car...to cruise,
peel out, lay rubber or watch submarine races, and people
went steady?

No one ever asked where the car
keys were because they were always in the car, in the
ignition, and the doors were never locked?

Lying on your back in the grass with your friends?
and saying things like, ' That cloud looks like a... ' ?

Playing baseball with no adults to
help kids with the rules of the game?

Stuff from the store came without safety caps and hermetic
seals because no one had yet tried to poison a perfect
stranger?

And with all our progress, don ' t you just wish, just
once, you could slip back in time and savor the slower pace,
and share it with the children of today.

When being sent to the principal ' s office was nothing
compared to the fate that awaited the student at home?

Basically we were in fear for our
lives, but it wasn ' t because of drive-by shootings, drugs,
gangs, etc. Our parents and grandparents were a much bigger
threat! But we survived because their love was greater than
the threat.

. .as well as summers filled with
bike rides, Hula Hoops, and visits to the pool, and eating
Kool-Aid powder with sugar.

Didn ' t that feel good, just to go back and say, ' Yeah, I
remember that ' ?

I am sharing this with you today
because it ended with a Double Dog Dare to pass it on. To
remember what a Double Dog Dare is, read on. And remember
that the perfect age is somewhere between old enough to know
better and too young to care.
Send this on to someone who can still
remember
Howdy Doody
and
The
Peanut Gallery, the
Lone Ranger, The Shadow knows, Nellie Bell , Roy and
Dale ,
Trigger and
Buttermilk.

How Many Of These Do You Remember?
Candy cigarettes

Wax Coke-shaped bottles with
colored sugar water inside.

Soda pop machines that dispensed glass bottles.
Coffee shops with Table Side
Jukeboxes.
Blackjack, Clove and Teaberry chewing gum.
 
Home milk delivery in glass bottles
with cardboard stoppers.

Newsreels before the movie.

Telephone numbers with a word
prefix...( Yukon 2-601). Party lines.

Peashooters.

Hi-Fi ' s & 45 RPM records.

78 RPM records!

Green Stamps.

Mimeograph paper.

The Fort Apache Play Set.

Do You Remember a Time When…
Decisions were made by going
' eeny-meeny-miney-moe ' ?
Mistakes were corrected by simply exclaiming, ' Do Over! '
?
' Race issue ' meant arguing about who ran the fastest?

Catching The Fireflies Could Happily Occupy An Entire
Evening?

It wasn ' t odd to have two or three ' Best Friends ' ?

Having a Weapon in School meant being caught with a
Slingshot?

Saturday morning cartoons weren ' t
30-minute commercials for action figures?

' Oly-oly-oxen-free ' made perfect sense?

Spinning around, getting dizzy, and
falling down was cause for giggles?

The Worst Embarrassment was being picked last for a team?

War was a card game?

Baseball cards in the spokes transformed any bike into a
motorcycle?

Taking drugs meant orange -
flavored chewable aspirin?

Water balloons were the ultimate weapon?

If you can remember most or all of these, Then You Have
Lived!!!!!!!
Pass this on to anyone who may need a break from their '
Grown-Up ' Life . .
I Double-Dog-Dare-Ya!

SHIRLEY ANNE MERGET '53 COPAN -

APRIL, 2010 UPDATE ON THE 1953 SCHOLARSHIP FUND
The 1953 Scholarship fund stands at $26,144.23 as
of April 6, 2010. A NEW contributor is 1953 classmate Richard
(Dick) Grund bringing the total contributors to 93.
Thanks for remembering the scholarship and our classmate,
Robin Kipp
A
$1,000 scholarship will be given in June, 2010 to a worthy
Monrovia High School Graduate by the class of 1953.
Background on the fund established at our 50th
reunion in 2003. Duane Gray volunteered as chairman and
suggested that everyone contribute $200 and we could reach our
goal of $60,000 to keep the scholarship operating in
perpetuity by the interest generated. Based on the current
economy, that probably will not be the case. The Monrovia
Schools Foundation invests your money conservatively to keep
it safe. The $1,000 will be awarded annually to students until
the account is depleted. The WOW
was established if a contribution of
$1,000 or more is made.
To Send A Donation to our 1953 Class Scholarship Fund:
Make your check or money order payable to:
MSF (Monrovia Schools Foundation) Class of 1953
P.O. Box 2447
Monrovia,
CA
91017
Be sure to indicate the name you graduated with. If you
wish to remember someone with your contribution please so
indicate. The number after a name indicates how
many contributions. If underlined it is a recent
donation.

A TRIBUTE TO ROBIN KIPP by John Holmstrom
I first met Robin Kipp when he entered the Duarte
school's seventh grade. We
became pals, riding bikes, playing softball, and going to the
Saturday kids
matinee's at the Monrovia movie theater. Robin lived across the
street from the
rear of the Big Sky Drive In theater, known and loved by many,
many M.A.D.
students over the years. After the eighth grade we both went to
M.A.D. high
school where Robin got very good grades and was an outstanding
football player
and pole vaulter. I got not so good grades and was third string
center on the
"B" football team. Our friendship grew in those four years
which featured
hanging out at the Frontier and Carpenters Drive Ins, me
cleaning an Arcadia
hamburger stand up every morning before school and Robin pumping
gas
near the Monrovia airport plus working on our cars, listening to
Hunter Hancock
and Art Laboe on the radio playing what was then termed "race"
music. (Robin's
patient mother always came into his room and we previewed our
new records
for her!) We also started a social club as seniors, called the
"Centurions" for
some reason but it was just an excuse to have parties!
Robin was always a gifted, effortless athlete and a patient
person. I admired
him for this and I realized he was special in that he treated
everyone the same:
with kindness. I don't ever recall him getting angry or being
rude. I also
remember Robin and I and four or five others jammed into a tiny
motel room in
Costa Mesa one Bal week, happily playing poker and watching
TV. After
graduation baccalaureate services Robin and I along with
George Soetje, Larry
Johnson, and Tom Matthews
bought front row seats at the Los Angeles Follies
burlesque theater in L.A. to celebrate! We also enjoyed taking
dates to China
Town's Grandview Gardens cafe that had Zep Meisners trio to
dance to.
When I was discharged in l957 from the Army Robin was to be
married to 18
year old Judi and he'd waited an extra few weeks until my
release so I could be
his best man. Why did he want to be married and to a 18 year
old kid I
wondered? How could pal Robin and I have fun together if he was
married, right?
Well, Robin and Judy were married over 50 years. To say it was a
"successful"
marriage is an understatement. Robin developed into a very
accomplished
architect and an ever gracious and supportive Judi ran their
homes and was a
librarian. I traveled for many years, making films and living
in four states
plus being in 45 countries but somehow we got together every few
years or so.
Our friendship was almost seamless. We just enjoyed being
together, talking
about the present and future more than the past, and we were
both so grateful
that we loved the "work" we did.
When Robin and Judi retired to a lovely home near Palm Springs
they spent
time remodeling their contemporary home, buying exquisite modern
pottery,
and visiting their son Steve up north. Robin's beloved Porsche
was his
immaculate joy. When I visited we'd have breakfast by their
pool and make
an effort not to reminisce (too much!) about the past or
complain about
the present, like many people. Through all the years Robin was
a steady,
sane friend.
Robin passed away February 25th, my birthday as well as
Dick Grund,
his Wildcat track mate, who drove in from Texas for the Palm
Springs
funeral. Afterwards, on my way home to Hollywood, I stopped at
my old
Duarte school, just off the freeway and now a restaurant. On one
of the
walls is an old school picture of a scruffy bunch of eighth
grade boys posing
with their baseball mitts and bats. The back row shows Robin and
me, two
skinny kids, unaware of what life held for us, our innocent
faces alive with
the expectation of playing baseball on a sunny California day.
That image is
the one I'll always "see" when I remember my dear friend,
Robin Kipp.
Judi Kipp, can be reached at (760) 776-8216
We send our love to Judi and their son Steve.

Kathi
Somehow I dropped
off the mailing list for your "Our Page" and I always
enjoy receiving and reading. Could you tell me how to
get back on the list.
I hope all is well
with you and that you had a wonderful holiday season. I
have been watching the news on your weather and the mud
slides. Hope it is not affecting Sierra Madre.
Things are good with
us. I am still working as Executive Director for the
"Independent Energy Human Resources Association" and
playing golf a couple of days a week - except the
weather in Houston has been really cold through December
and January - so I have had to miss a few days. The
Association keeps me busy about 60% of my time, which
keeps me out of trouble. I enjoy the work and the
opportunity to stay involved and stay in touch with my
professional acquaintances. Visit our website at

Please get me back

all you do to keep us in touch and informed of our

most of the summer in Colorado. I manage to play a lot
of golf and take care of 7 acres. Hope all is well with
you and thanks for keeping up the Web page. Good picture
of Mt. Whitney and it looks the same as I remember it on
many of my trips. An interesting Web page is
owensvelleyhistory.org as it covers many
things I remember growing up, Thanks Skip Parker
__________________________________________________

I hope it
was a good year for those of you reading this web page. We lost
some of our dear 1953 classmates in 2009 and that is sad for us
and their families. I just keep on truckin' as your 1953
editor. I will continue as long as my eyes and fingers work,
not to mention the pesky brain of this computer system
and my own!
Usually I keep my promises, but I confess that the book for the
1954 '55th reunion came and because Bruce and Mariellen Staller
did such a good job on their 1954 web page, nothing further is
needed. Photos of all 1953 classmates, with the exception of
Lois Molone'53 Gaston, are scattered throughout the 1954
page. Group photos are terrific… my daughter gave me a new
digital camera for Christmas. I had better not make any more
promises though!!!
Christmas
is behind us but...
I love getting Christmas cards and especially those with
pictures. Here are some of the photo cards I got.
Some
love their animals

Marlene
Tiegen '53 and Ralph Weaver
they love
their pooches

California

George
Soetje '53

Remembering Junior High School in 1949
I guess we all
have those "oh my gosh" moments. Here is one that happened
recently. An old 8th grade operetta program dated May 12
and May 13, 1949 dropped out of a 2009 Christmas card.
The program enclosed with Mary Jo Burns '53 Dalmont's card caused me to remember lyrics I learned when I was 13 years
old. A tune reverberated in my brain,
"If you need an artist's model I feel sure he'll fall for me
… my success is guaranteed!"
Yes, a 60
year-old notice of the operetta "Paints and Patches",
the junior high students' presentation from FIRST AVENUE
SCHOOL in Arcadia, set my brain humming. Keep
reading to the bottom where that program is posted. Maybe
YOUR name is in it. Do you remember the songs and
lyrics?
In 1949, I was skinny and badly needed braces. My father, a
high school graduate from Danville, Illinois, worked in a
California machine shop. In his off hours he and my mom
remodeled old houses they purchased for very little. Mother was
born in Ireland and attended school only through the 3rd grade.
By the time I attended First Avenue, my parents and I occupied
and they sold four homes in El Monte, Monrovia, Duarte and
Arcadia. We lived in our tiny fifth home at 17 Wheeler Street,
Arcadia. This house was later a dry cleaners (my parents tried
that business). Then, the folks became real estate brokers and
my home was a live-in office during my time at MAD. I was a
terrible show off, always getting in trouble in grade and Junior
high school.
From the looks of the program (shown below)
everyone had
to participate. Remember, back then the "arts" were in integral
part of education. The speaking and solo singing roles needed an
audition. After auditions, the part of Miss
Perriwinkle was given to me as a comic role for the
May 13th performance. Marilyn Nollac sang and
danced on May 12th (Mrs. Lucille Nollac choreographed). Short
of my mother begging that I still be allowed to perform, my
first stage performance might have been delayed until high
school. Water-on-the-knee developed from a fall and I had to
wear an ace bandage. Darlene Frommer is the 3rd name shown in
the program above Kathleen Phelps. I feel sure
I
performed instead of Darlene (she is not pictured as a
graduate from MAD). I made the role even more slap-stick…and
limped!!!
Many students who went on to Monrovia Arcadia Duarte High
School participated. Some on the list below are
gone, but remembered. Others still read
