I've been thinking about DHS most useful courses. Mine is Mrs. Eshleman's typing class with the old klutzy typewriters and that ticking metronome. She would speed up that metronome to super sonic speeds (or so it seemed at the time). I think my best typing speed speed was 60-70 cwpm. Now it is probably 20-30 incorrect words pre minute (iwpm). I never have gotten accustomed to the light touch of the computer keyboard. I believe the typewriters were manual pre- electric vintage. You had to hit those keys hard and then hit that lever to get to the next line. Now is the time for all good men.... Little did we know then that typing would be so valuable for typing e- mails. She was ahead of the times. I think the most fun course was American Government where Mr. Biggs made us memorize the three branches of government: legislative, executive and judicial. He made the course entertaining. The worst course I can remember is Algebra (or maybe Geometry). Mr. Eldridge (or something like that name) taught one of those courses. I never could figure out all those equations and hypotheses. Also some of those stupid math things like if a train leaves Chico, California at 2 pm and stops for 37 minutes in Muncie, Indiana, what is the elapsed time to arrive at Columbus, Ohio if the train is traveling at 38 mph? Who cares? What's your most useful or memorable high school course? The Weaselmeister

Weaselmeister, What a great surprise. Our son and family is being transferred to San Antonio in July. We have a Hyatt time share in Northern AZ and one of our timeshares is in San Antonio. We will see you soon I hope. Lanny

How many of you remember the big deal that Decoration Day was when you were a kid growing up in Dalton? I still call it Decoration Day even though the name got changed to Memorial Day. I remember the kids on bikes riding in the parade through town which I think ended at the Dalton Cemetery to honor those soldiers who gave their lives for our country. God bless those soldiers for what they did to allow the USA to keep freedom alive. I wish we still had the patriotic spirit in this country today. How times have changed (not for the better, though). I remember being one of those kids with the bicycle and all its decorations on it. I especially remember the cards we put in the wheel spokes somehow so they would make a flapping sound. Flap, Flap, Flap. What cheap entertainment that was. And a whole lot of fun. I also remember the poppy flowers pin that I got to wear. I still buy one every year. Let's all remember Decoration Day this year for what it really is for. To recognize the many lives given for our freedom we still have today. And, as an aside, drive carefully, and have a great Decoration Day this year. What's your memories for Decoration Day as a kid? The Weaselmeister

Hi Corrine, THANKS so much for those pictures!!!! They were priceless!!!!! It brought tears to my eyes to see Prudy and Pat Lowery, both gone now. I just wanted you to know how much I appreciated all the time you put into this project. From all the pictures, I would think that I would remember of you going around carrying a camera a lot of the time, but I don't. Even the old school playground......you didn't miss a thing!!!!!! I dropped off the 50th reunion planning committee......too many miles between me and the other members for me to be effective. Thanks again, Gwen

Hi Everybody: I love history...especially early American History and Civil War history. John Douglas prompted the question "why was Dalton built on a hill?" Well, I never found that out, but I did some searching on the internet and found some interesting stuff! So I added a file to the Yahoo site. If you like history, check it out, if you don't - have a nice day and disregard it. Check out familiar names to us listed...Goudy/Gaudy, Eckard to name a few. Maybe your long lost relative is listed. Told Keith Goudy about what I found as I met with him, his sweet wife, Sharon, and Nancy Withrich/Davis at Nancy's home yesterday. We had a wonderful time remembering all our school days and Dalton memories! Thanks again, Nancy, for hosting. Civil War Fact thats listed about Wayne County...Fort Sumter was fired on April 12, 1861. Within 4 days, a wild crowd met at the Wayne County Courthouse and by April 21, 1861 (9 days later) they had their first solders on the way! Remember I have a tough time down here in "Confederate Land" sometimes and they don't hold dear as we do, our great President Lincoln! Just a Memorial Day thought! Have a great Memorial/Decoration Day! Linda Fahrney/Freeland

Classmates Please go to database and then click on contact list and you can see who is deceased and all the names and addresses that i have gleaned since last september. if anything needs updated please let me know so we can stay current. lanny .....as far as i know Prudy died of complications from diabetes sometime ago but i dont know when. if anyone knows the date it would be good info to list in the database or somewhere. also birthdays would be great for the database. now when did they become so important>? would love to have a southern reunion while i am in GA for the summer. how about it? there is charlene and barbara and jeff eckard (does anyone keep in contact with him?) barb can you scare him up for us? isnt he your cousin barb? charlene emailed me to say she saw him while shopping but guess she did not get info from him or on him. i did send him a snail mail letter but did not hear back. paul you are in the area too. could us NC GA people meet somewhere that would be central for us this summer? also remember when corresponding with one person please make sure they are the one you are sending too unless you want to share that with the whole group. had a great weekend in chattanooga. weather here in N GA mountain is lovely as is the scenery, yall come by. pjlee

Addie and those of you who are wondering about Lynn Weikert. He seems to be evasive and i did send him a snail mail letter and noted that if he did not respond that i would hunt him down next time i was in Dalton. I think perhaps he does not know how much he was loved for who he was. I did talk to Cat Saurer last week and he told me that he keeps in touch with Lynn. Speaking of Cat I would like to start a memorial to him and what he has done for our country and the sacrifices that he made. I for one really appreciate it and i don't know how many others of our classmates served our country but we need to find a way to give them the honor and recoginition that they deserve. SO any ideas? Lets hear from some of you that were in the service or know of those that were so we can find out some info on them and honor them. as i reflect back on this day and what it means to me i must mention a sign i saw today that said "ALL GAVE SOME AND SOME GAVE ALL" God bless America and also those that have served our country. Cat would love to hear from you by phone....you can find his name and number in the database. pjlee --- In dalton59@..., "Addie & Dave Yoder" <akddyoder@...> wrote: > > Corrine, > I love looking those pictures.

One of the real fun things to do was to peruse the treasures of the village dump. Wow! We found a lot of good stuff there which we cherished and took home (probably were then recycled by our parents back to the village dump). Another fun thing to do was to go there on burning day. We would seek out old aerosol cans and then throw them into the fire and watch them explode. Cheap thrills. Nobody injured. Stupid kids. Also, if we had our bb guns with us we would shoot light bulbs to watch them shatter. I don't know if the village dump is still there, but I recall it was somewhere in back of Buckeye Feed Mills. Other neato things to do on the East End was to ride our Schwinn balloon tire bikes down by the feed mill and go on to ramps to see how far we could fly off the ramps. The record was probably about 4 feet but it seemed like 20 feet. Nobody hurt. Oh, I almost forgot our underground pit that we dug as a secret place to go. It was covered by a corrugated tin roof. What a treasure that pit was. Some kids built treehouses. We dug a pit. Is that strange or what? I think maybe we hid some of our village dump treasures in there too. Not sure if the parents knew about the pit. I wonder if the pit is still there. Anyone else remember the village dump? It was a real gem. The Weaselmeister

Hello Everyone: Dalton school days seems like yesterday but just as I have trouble remembering what I did yesterday, I have trouble remembering events from 49 years ago.

I have been in the process of transfering photos and slides to digital format and I just happened to scan the school days first. I seem to recall there were the town kids and the country kids. I was a country kid. That meant I had to have a note to be able to leave school at lunch time to go "down town." I loved buying candy at the 5 and 10 and I think I was only in Brownies a half dozen times in 12 years. I had to get on the bus and go home while the "town kids" got to hang out and not rush to the bus. I knew I wanted to be a "town kid" when I grew up. A hugh treat was when my Grandmother Kurzen would take me to town for errands after which we would get a tin roof sundae in the drug store. Decoration Day was a big event in our house. We went to the cemetaries several days ahead of time and cut the grass and planted red geraniums so the graves would look nice. I still remember the smell of the geraniums. On Decoration Day we would drive to town with my Dad hoping he would be able to find a parking place. Did'nt the marching band play in the parade? I had dinner with Eunice Stiener several years ago when she was in Philadelphia for a business conference and I occastionally see Carol Zimmerly Buchwalter at church. I am looking forward to the reunion and sitting in the special section reserved for those celebrating their 50th annivesary. I remember what I thought about those people when we graduated - does anyone else? I'm looking forward to continuing conversation! (Please send personal e-mail to crkurze@...)

Prior to graduation I had to make a decision to which college I wanted to accept a football scholarship. I wanted to join the army but my dad talked me into trying the football program out first. Jeff Eckard and I were offered a full 4 year scholarship to play at Florida State, and they flew us down there and treated like celebrities. I accepted their offer and I believe Jeff went to Iowa State. I played for a year, made the team, but decided I wanted the army. I joined the army and signed up for the paratroops, but my aptitude tests put me into the top 10 so they placed me into military intelligence. My training put me overseas for 2 years monitoring troop movements of the Russians, East Germans and Poles. After things started getting hot in the middle east our unit was assigned to monitoring the Chinese and North Vietnam troop movements and to relay that info to the appropriate personnel. We were in a country that we were not in. Sadly the first American soldier killed in the war was a member of my unit in an ambush. I eventually got out and was going to travel the USA for awhile. My first stop was in Georgia to my cousins house. His father was a fighter pilot stationed at Moody AFB. You all might remember his family who lived alot of years in Dalton, in a small house at the west end of town; Rita, Wade, Gary, and Debbie Lehman. Wade set me up with a blind date, she was blind to take me, with Judy, who I married one month later, 45 years ago. So much for my travels. Judy and I moved to AZ. From 1965 to 1976 I was a police officer in Scottsdale, AZ. I graduated from ASU in 1973 and in 1976 took a job as a Federal Agent in Los Angeles until I retired in 1997. During my tenure I was a SWAT officer for about 20 years. In 2005 we moved back to AZ. We raised 3 kids, Lara 38, Zachary 35 married to Alexa and they have Nathan 8 and Emma 5. Zach has been in the Air Force for 15 years, stationed all over the world, including tours in Afghanistan and Iraq. They have been transffered to San Antonio in July this year. Our youngest Suzanna 32 is married to a neat guy Chad, they have Jadin 4, Madison 3, and Luke who is in the oven waiting for his arrival. Judy and I stay busy in our Presbyterian church, golfing, bridge, walking 5 miles 5 days a week, and travelling (retirement is terrible, hee, hee). I have had 12 motorcycles and we enjoyed doing tours with our groups. Sold my last Harley (sob) last year and bought a Jeep. Whew. Lanny

Ok, you've done it. Here it is late at night (old age) and I can't sleep without running Dalton things thru my head. Mcfarren history: Harriet McFarren was a good friend of our family. Her husband died at an early age and she raised 4 boys. Clare was a surgeon. Bill was our coach, a WWII vet who was in artillery, hence his half deafness. John was a fighter pilot in the Korean war, married my moms sister Nancy Warnock, became a doctor and died of cancer. His best friend was Charles Frost, Korean fighter pilot, married June Lehman my moms other sister, mother of Wade, Rita, Gary and Debbie Lehman. Delmar Lehman died in a tragic industrial explosion. The other brother was Robert, kind of a gad-about who worked for my dad as a salesman in his construction business. "Doc" DeArment. Doc was the town dentist. He and Marie lived west of the town proper next to my grandmother Estella Warnock, Maries cousin. Doc had a palomino horse named cheeka and 3 great danes, King, Queen, and Prince. They used to travel and put on shows. Doc was known for partaking of his own "laughing gas" on occasion. Good night. Lanny

Here’s Jeff’s e-mail addy: eckardj@... Barb

OK - John D. and all you other classmates, I'm finally going to jump in here and join the conversation. Hi Everybody. I have been so busy this week - trying to learn a new temp job and earning a living that I haven't had the time to participate. I would come into my email and have 69 emails waiting for me. I have been reading all these email Sat. night Memorial Weekend and having a blast. John, you are so funny and have me belly-laughing and rolling off my chair. I wanted to go to a movie tonight, but maybe this is much more fun! Glad to hear from John, Lanny - all you newcomers to the group! I loved the one on 1st Grade trauma on the rhythm band. Yes, I very well remember it. You forgot the "sticks" and the jiggle-clauds. I think I had to play either one of those and they weren't so great either, but I don't think I ever stooped to play a kazoo !! Ha! Now in regards to Most Useful High School Course... Of course, being a Secretary (now's it's refined to an Administrative Assistant), I still use what I learned in Typing, Bookkeeping, and Shorthand-sometimes. It's impressive to tell them you helped win the High School Shorthand trophy (I think we just had a 4 member team- myself, Barbara M., not sure if it was Shirley M., Betty Ann H.) maybe somebody remembers, but we brought back a trophy the first year we tried it. BUT - when you tell somebody this, it just DATES you, of course. I use these 3 subjects still to support myself and am working right now on a contract assignment at Bombardier Aerospace in Richardson, Tx. I love to type and can type 80-90 wpm. on a good day. I can remember telling some of the teachers or some authority when I was Freshman or Soph. - whatever year we were supposed to start taking Algebra - that I would never use this in my life and didn't want to take it. I wasn't in college preparatory. So I guess I persuaded them because they offerd a General Math Class. But to this day, I have problems with "formulas" on Excel. Because all the really smart kids were in Algebra, that made it easier for me to do well in the Math Class and win some of the arithmetic contests that we would have on the blackboard. I think Mrs. Shankleton taught this class. No, I'm just remembering - who was the superintendent before Glen Berg - nice guy - that's who taught it. Mr. Baker?? Anybody else remember being in this class? I also told them I could not stand all that gutty junk, cutting up animals, worms, whatever etc. in Biology and may have been the only one to not have to take it. I didn't! Different strokes for different folks - I hated Government Class - just endured it and tried to memorize everything I needed to know just for tests. John, I love your description of the typing tests. I had Ms. Santschi for my typing classes. I remember how hard you had to hit the keys and yes the metronom. In Corrine's pictures of all the teachers at the table, was Mrs. Eshleman in that picture? Now I'm laughing again uncontrollably about the "train leaving Chico, stopping in Muncie, and arriving at Columbus - I HATED THOSE STORY PROBLEMS - you are sooooo right - who in the heck CARES??? What a good laugh I have had over this! I just got rid of a lot of stress - Thanks! I'll stop now on this email and maybe respond to some other ones. I'm meeting with Keith Goudy, and wife Sharon, and Nancy Withrich Davis tomorrow after church at Nancy's house - for a MINI-1959 REUNION! It will be a blast and sure the highlight of this weekend for me! Corrine's pictures were unbelievable! She must have been the class photographer. Thanks Corrine More later, Linda Freeland (formerly Fahrney)

Hi Everyone!! My favorite pizza place was Your Pizza which was between Massillon and Canton, I think they call that Perry Heights. My brother still lives in Dalton and he, too, likes the Coccia House in Wooster. Another favorite was the one on Cherry St. in Massillon! I don't remember the Floating Henryburger place but there was a drive- in between Riceland and Wooster but don't remember the name. I have senior moments ;-) every now and then! I always liked marching in the parade on decoration day and carrying whatever flowers my Mom had blooming at the time. I still like going to the Dari-ette when I'm in Dalton but have trouble finding someone to go with me. That doesn't seem to be a favorite of my family. I will be in Dalton Father's Day weekend. If anybody's around, I'll just be there the 13th through the 15th. I believe that I saw Danny Hostetler at Mrs. J's in Orrville the last time I was home but didn't realize it was him until I was in the car on the way home. John, I have one of those turntables too and transferred all my 33s onto my DJ so that I can listen to them at work. I just transferred the instrumentals so have Herb Alpert, Lenny Dee, Joann Castle, etc. Somehow I played with that band (11th Regiment) on the bandstand with all those men! Not sure how that came about. I would also be interested in a south-summer get together. Barb

Does anyone remember the cool x-ray machines they had when we were kids to show the foot bones inside your shoes when you got fitted for a new pair of shoes? I think there was a shoe store in Massillon that had one of those machines. Maybe some Buster Brown or Poll Parrot or something like that. That made going to the shoe store a funtime. I think the image was a green color. I don't know if they were dangerous since they probably had some kind of radioactive field. Has anyone seen one of these machines recently. Desperately seeking the x-ray machine because I need some new penny loafers. Hard as it may be to believe, but I still wear penny loafers and probably always will. No pleat pants, button down collar shirts, and penny loafers rule yet. At least my wardrobe still is in the 1950's era. Some styles are timeless. Whatever happened to Dexter shoes made in the USA? Stuck in a time warp, The Weaselmeister

I suggest we each state our favorite and then bring enough to the reunion to share with everyone that wants to have some FUN! My favorite was grapette soda (was it 6cents?) and the red wax lips (I took some to work one time to share with the younger crowd of girls at work and we all had our pics taken with them on) and the teeth that would come out around Halloween and the black mustasche's, the sugar daddy's that tried to pull out your teeth so had to stick to sugar babies, BB bats and candy cigarettes (the only kind I ever smoked) (I am visually hangout out at Brownies trying to make a choice) Also I loved the chunks of chocolate at the 5 and 10 and the sen sens http://www.oldtimecandy.com/sen.htm (Pungent anise-flavored breath-freshener candies in tiny packages) Here in the south the talk is of moon pies and peanuts in your RC cola. Nasty! Weaze mister (looking at it that way it sounds like something for a cold) could you post some pics. Lanny thanks for the pictures. You look just the same to me! PS we are all the same age inside! Thanks for posting. I hope to send out another kick in the pants soon to all of those others that have email but did not join yet! I will probably be banished from the reunion or will have to start my own .....

I said I was in Dalton from June 28 - BIG ERROR - I meant May 28. Corrine

I'm trying to remember the places we visited for class field trips. All I can recall are: Quaker Oats factory in Akron where we saw puffed wheat and puffed rice shot from guns. Very interesting. I think that factory is now closed. Lay's potato chips factory in Wooster where we saw how potato chips are made. And we got a sample. Very tasty. Do they still make potato chips in Wooster? Wasn't there also a "Wooster" brand chip? Maybe that's what it was called at the time and not Lay's? Schoenbrunn Village close to New Philadelphia. Lots of quaint old buildings and stuff like that. There must have been other places we visited. Does anyone remember where else we went as a group of kids? The Weaselmeister
