• Before the Internet, the PC or the Mac …
• Before Xbox, Wii, Playstation, SEGA, Super Nintendo, even before Atari …
• Before cell phones, CD's, DVD's, voicemail, e-mail, FaceBook and Twitter …
• Before you had to wear a helmet when riding a bicycle and before every consumer product required a written warning to keep you from hurting yourself.

Remember some of the games we played as youngsters?
Hide ‘n’ seek.
Baseball and dodgeball on the blacktop east of the grade school …
Annie, Annie, Over …Work-up games at the Lyndon ballpark …
Checkers … Jump rope … Dominoes … Clue … Monopoly … Tetherball.

Do you remember walking seven miles to school through snow up to your knees? OK, would you believe seven blocks in one inch of snow?
The sound of crickets.
Chasing lightning bugs or catching frogs at Salt Creek.
Swimming at Wileys’.
Going to the Giant.
Your own lemonade stand.

Running through the sprinkler to cool off.
Shopping for a new toy at the downtown Gambles store or Beattie’s Variety Store.
Your very first baseball glove.
Ice pops with two sticks so you could share them with a friend.
Friday night football.
Milk jugs delivered right to your front porch.
Watching submarine races at Pomona Lake.

But wait, there’s more …
The Beatles, the Stones and the Beach Boys.
Sunday School.
Your first date.
Report cards.
Crew cuts.
Thin ties — and always with a white shirt!
Your first kiss.
Vietnam … protests … hippies … Woodstock.

Bucking bales and putting them in a hot barn.
Doing chores … like taking out the garbage, cutting the grass, washing the car, doing the dishes (the old-fashioned way!)
Ordering milkshakes or 400’s at Spring’s Drug.
Sneaking in freeat Osage Drive-in.
Trying to get your teammates to crack up during a photo session.

Remember when being sent to the principal's office was nothing compared to the fate that awaited you at home.
When Supt. York showed up at our seventh grade class to announce President Kennedy had been assassinated.
Pretending you were going to be a farmer … a famous baseball player … a model … a rock star …

The broom factory run by Doc Hoermann in downtown Lyndon.

The new gymnasium being built east of LHS.
Spitwads on the ceiling of the auditorium.
Mr. Bronson’s tiny janitor’s closet beneath the stairs at LGS.
Two-a-days in football with no water cooler in sight — and no one got heat stroke.
Those great hairdos that defied gravity.

We couldn’t have done it
without solid support from our
pep club and Lyndon fans.

our way to the Big Easy.

Graduation in May 1969

So what has happened since 1969?Some became teachers … Some became writers … Some became attorneys … We’ve got coaches …
We’ve got nurses …
Two are in radio …
We’ve had engineers, contractors, union laborers, a legislator, truckers, police officers …
Soldiers and Marines …
