There are no pictures of Danny Zuko because he was too busy making out with Sandy Dumbrowski under the O)cean Park Pier.

I will be at the Centennial. Wearing a T-Shirt that says

STILL NOT DRIFTING --

JUST NOT ROWING AS FAST

My sister and I graduated from Venice.

I think she was 1961 but was wondering if anyone knew Natalie Johnson?

I graduated in summer of 67 and really enjoyed this trip back. I was at Mark Twain when you graduated. I walked through Venice High to get to the bus and must have at least seen all those kids.

But there is a familiarity to it all.

Thanks for posting this.

Thank you for the kind words. I did not know Natalie Johnson, but I think you were in my cousin's class. Her name was Wendy Feldman (I think she may have been in W'67). I am also still friends with your classmate Larry Friedman.  His brother is my second longest continuing friendship (4th grade at Walgrove).

A lot of the photos in the video were taken at Mark Twain A-9 Camera day in January 1960.

Arthur, When I moved I had to move up, or back, half-a-year as my new school graduated students only in the summer. I believe I would have graduated from Venice in the Winter of 1962. Still, I recognize the person in the middle picture above...the guy. Do you recall his name? Some of my friends were Frank Mazzola, Ronnie Bills, Les Kline, Nancy Halper...

[ArthurWA]

Definitely Winter 1963. I found your picture in the 1960 yearbook. All of the people you mentioned were in that class. The only one I've seen since high school is Ronnie Bills. He came to the 40th Reunion and there are some identified photos of him in my video from the reunion. The guy in the middle picture is Tom Sawyer, who I first knew at Mark Twain before he moved over to Daniel Webster, which I guess is where you went.

Art, Thanks for the information. So I was in the Winter '63 class for certain? Ronnie Bills was one of my two best friends...all through grade school and Daniel Webster. Is Ronnie here in this video? I knew that was Tom Sawyer...now that you mention the name. I almost had it there in memory.
