Memories: We, having avoided the fate of the mythical student who could not escape this block of schools, have survived to remember the year 1969: |
- the stupid '69 jokes
- the war (visit http://www.vietnampix.com/ for photos, or http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/vietnam/ for a PBS story...)
- Woodstock (visit http://www.woodstock69.com/ for memories!)
- the trip to the moon (visit http://history.nasa.gov/ap11ann/introduction.htm for memories.)
and John Bowne during the school year 1968-69:

Progress: We haven't stayed at John Bowne all this time. Even those who have returned (yes, there are such!) have gone far and done much that we never could have imagined when we were kids.
This is our web site. Let's share our memories! - both of high school and of the years since. Fill out the JBHS '69 Update Form to have your personal information included on this site, or just send a message to the webmistress at bowne@leedscarroll.com with ideas for what you'd like to add to this site.
Shameless plug! Since I am the Webmistress here, I'm including a link to information about my Fourth Annual Benefit Concert: Sing To Cure MS, to benefit the Accelerated Cure Project for Multiple Sclerosis. You can donate directly to the Cure Project, in my name if you'd like, or in the name of anyone else you know who has MS. You can also purchase a CD of the 3rd annual, October 2005. concert.
View a piece of history: our Alma Mater, in the original mimeographed version, provided by the composer, Alice Gross (fondly remembered as our music teacher, Mrs. Gross).
The myth: He started out in the grade school down the block, continued through the jr. high and high school, and matriculated around the block at Queens College - except that, before he could make it around the corner for his first class, he was hit by a bus and ended up in the cemetery across the street...
The joke: Okay, do you really need to hear the whole thing again? Isn't it enough to say, "What do you want with Beef-and-Broccoli at this hour?!"
