Comments: That was a great week. Prom, Graduation, all-night party, etc.
Comments: Hey, SOCites! I can’t recall what I had for breakfast, but I do remember what I was doing sixty years ago this week! Graduating from South Oak Cliff High School along with the rest of the Class of ‘63!
Comments: Hello SOCites. I, too, am anxious for news of a 60th reunion. BTW, thank you Lynell for the years of photos that you sent. If anyone wants to see photos of our past events, contact Lynell for your copy. It will be so much fun to go through them.
Comments: Hello Mike . I am glad to know that you are still around! I hope that you come to the reunion so we can see each other.
Comments: Hello All
Comments: Looking forward to the 60th reunion as I want to attend. Please keep everyone updated. Mike Peters from Glenville, NY (Upstate NY, not 'the city').
Comments: Hi Berry i went to grade school with Jay. I’m glad he is asking and I hope he will plan on coming. I don’t know anything about when or IF. I sure hope so.
Comments: Talked to Jay Kralik this morning and he asked if there is anything planned for the 60th anniversary of our graduation.
Comments: It‘s turned cold again. We’d better live it up. We know what’s coming all too soon. 🥵
Comments: We moved to Dallas in 1954 and lived in the Wynnwood apartments until the summer after 4th grade. Then we moved to Fortune Lane which deadended into SOC. That September they opened Clara B Oliver elementary school and I attended 5th and 6th grade there before moving on to Boude Storey, then SOC. Many memories!
Comments: May each and everyone of you have a BLESSED EASTER HOLIDAY as HE HAS RISEN.
Comments: Please excuse my typos, I had left eye cataract surgery yesterday so either over typing or getting in a hurry.
Comments: My mom worked at the Beauty Salon next door to Roberts Jewlers. One of the girls there did Sharlene Houtling’s hair for the Miss Flame Contest. I worked part time for Roberts jewlwers, Cinderella shop modeling, Margies in high school and Christmas time in the toy section of Montgomery Ward. Loved Margo’s shop there. we lived close so sis and I were about everywhere in Wynnewood, she hung out at Goff’s. Those years were great, many friends along the way and sweet memories.
Comments: Wynnewood village brought my family to Dallas when it first opened. My daddy was manager of the Holiday shoe store.
Comments: Charlotte and everyone, I have all the pictures backloaded onto my computer now. There are quite a few! If anyone wants a copy of them on a flash drive, please email me for info. Wynnewood was quite the place back in our day! Remember that fancy Titches store with the open escalator? I say the perfect meal was a Goff‘s #4 with chili, cheese and onion, topped off by a scoop of Mrs. Goff’s cherries jubilee ice cream. Those really were the good old days.
Comments: Hey, Lynell…what a great Idea about the party pics and whatever else is on your download. I would love to go through them. Great idea I’m in. 🤗 📷 📸
Comments: I’m so sorry to learn of Barbara‘s death. She was a sweet person. We‘ve lost so many of our peers now and it is difficult to read the memorandum column now.
Comments: I remember going to the movie theater at Wynnwood And also buying school supplies there. One April Sharlene Houghtaling, me, Kay Williams and another gal dressed as bunnies and walked the mall with our baskets handing out candy eggs wrapped in plastic. oops, telling on myself here …. A friend and I would skip part of Sunday night church and go to Goffs. 🥴😂😂😂
Comments: I am saddened to add a name to our Memoriam page. SOC ‘63’s sweet Barbara Arnold Sheffield has passed away, according to a post I saw by her daughter on Facebook. Barbara and Wendell Sheffield have been married since 1964. My sympathy goes out to their family and friends.
Comments: My email is lynellgsmith@sbcglobal.net.
Comments: I’m sure you all remember those 2,000+ photos from SOC events that were on our website. There were issues with the host for those pictures, so I’ve downloaded them to my home computer If you are a member or a friend of the Class of ‘63, I will send you a flash drive with the pictures for $5 per copy, plus a stamped, self-addressed envelope. Please email me if you are interested.
Comments: Ken: Always trying to draw out your sarcasm!
Comments: John: I would like whatever information you have on Charles Woodard
Comments: Barry Gibbs had asked about Charles Woodard. I had a nice visit with him at one of the reunions. He told me he worked for Shell Oil in Indonesia as a chem E for 20 years
Comments: John Southworth, I thought I was the only one who did multi posts of the same thing! I deleted ‘em.
Comments: Technical glitz...or subtle reminder that Mr. Gibbs is a little slow on the uptake?
Comments: Perhaps the site Administrator could delete 5 or 6 of my previous duplicate posts? I kept getting an indicator that my comment wasn't accepted?
Comments: Memo to Barry Gibbs: You inquired about Charles Woodard. I last ran into him in Houston back in the 1990's and he was living in Katy, TX then. He mentioned he'd been assigned somewhere in Indonesia at one point. These days I'm pretty sure he is living in Cypress, TX (part of northwest Houston). I have an address if you need it.
Comments: Wasn't Wynnewood the 1st shopping center build in Oakcliff? They had jim conna racing on Sunday afternoon we tried to get the best time in a course race (cones) I never won, but it was fun trying in my MG
Comments: My family was really connected to Wynnewood. My mom and Grandmother shopped every Saturday morning at the A&P Grocery, and frequently at the variety store next door (I can't remember the name - Motts, Moses Ben Franklin?). And I always bought my school supplies at Skillerns Drug Store so I could get a free milkshake. We even had the family bank account at the Wynnewood Bank, which was a stand-alone building behind the shopping center. In addition, my dad was a maintenance superintendent for the FHA and Lincoln Properties (two of the owners) and one of his apartment complexes (all in Oak Cliff) was the Wynnewood Apts, which had over 500 units that surrounded the shopping area. |
