Re: Tin Can Class
To: Roger Cress of the Classic Class of 1961
You and others have inquired as to the meaning of the "Tin Can" Class
of 1945. Well Rog, the tin can was everything to those of us who endured
the Great Depression. Our fast foods came out of same. Beans, soup,
spaghet, etc. We used the cans for patching everything, from a hole in
the outhouse wall, to wrap a hole in the Model A exhaust pipe, to repair
most anything else. It was used for recreation. We played kick the can,
put them on a post to play basketball with a tennis ball. Also for stick
ball. They were used for containers, from nails to screws to pencils.
They were used to vent on an undone assignment, being kicked from home all
the way to school. They were tied to the bumpers of newlyweds as they
left the church.
A remarkable thing the tin can was. Still is.
Bomber Cheers
-Dick McCoy from the Remarkable Tin Can Class of 1945

>>From: Bob Harman ('51)
I have a couple of southern Missouri stories to add to the discussion
of southern sayings. Both of these are true stories.
A neighbor of ours, I'll call him only Homer, had eleven sons and no
daughters. We were nominally acquainted with the family. Times were hard
for all of us back them. Homer came down to our house with a hand full
of his boys. He proceeded to ask my dad, "Will you share my boys?" My
sister, in her early teens at the time, began to look the boys over
trying to decide which ones we should take. I took us a while to realize
that what he wanted was for my dad to give the boys a haircut! Share,
shear, get it?
The next story is about a neighbor who raised strawberries. It was
picking time and a number of neighbors had joined in to help. He had
a son who wasn't too ambitious. He was overheard telling his son, "Ya
better hep yer hep while ye have yer hep to hep ya." Free translation;
"You better help your help while you have your help to help you." Note,
we moved from central Kansas so we never talked like that!!

To: All Bombers, Specially Alumni
Once again I remind you that we are going to have a party on March
19th from 7:00 - 11:00 p.m. to say farewell to the upper part of the
Dawald Gym.
A party to end all parties and I hate to see any of you missing it. I
don't want one alumni who wants to be there to have to be on the outside
looking in, and I think this could happen the way the tickets are going.
So please fellow alumni, get those tickets and let's party with The
Kingsmen. Also, don't forget the shirts to commemorate this event. They
are pretty neat with quite the design on them. They are black, 100% heavy
cotton. They run $15.00 plus $5.00 for the mailing if you want one
mailed. Tickets are also $15.00 and will be $20.00 at the door IF there
are any left.

information poster and for the order form for the tickets and the shirts.

[OK. I'm officially confused. "Art Dawald Gymnasium" is singular. That
means ONE gymnasium. What is the "upper part of the Art Dawald Gym"?
What is going to be "demolished"? What is going to be "renovated"? The
poster says "destruction tour". What's being destructed? The poster says
"Bringin' Down the House". Which house is being brought down?
In the 2/16/05 Sandstorm entry from John Sonderland ('62) he said
"the floor did vibrate and move with the crowd. It was the absolute best
playing court... bar none" This added to my confusion. They're not REALLY
gonna tear down the gym with the "best playing court", are they? -Maren]
