Weekly My two brothers and I all went to Coop. I started first grade at Coop and I definitely remember the paper drives. Man that was a lot of newspaper stacked up on the sidewalk along Parker road. But I really liked the walks around the old black top after lunch and the square dancing after school. Those were fun times!

I bet that was hard on her after loosing him. And To watch your principal cry would leave an impression on a child.

I remember the day President Kennedy as assassinated. I was in 5th grade at Scarborough and my class was on the 2nd floor right by the flag pole. Suddenly they were lowering the flag and it was too early for them to be taking them down so wondered why. Our teacher (Ms. Harris) was out in the hall talking to another teacher and when she came in the room she was crying and told us to get our tihngs together we were leaving school early due to the President being shot and killed. Several of the teachers were crying as we left and there out side were our Mom's all talking and crying. Then the next few days we stayed home and watched his funeral on TV. If was a sad time. t wonder today if the president was to be assassinated how people would react  It would be for me, no matter who was in office it would be a sad day for our country.

 

I too remember the paper drives......I also remember if our class brought the most we got a snowcone too.....Our MOM was the snowcome lady at Scarborough!!

Randy Tolman (1967)

With regret I must post the passing of my brother Fred Tolman (class of ‘65). Fred was a member of SHHS FFA, & the Cross Cuntry Track Team. After graduation he worked for NASA before joining the US Army where he spent a career of 26 years. Upon retiring as a Sargent Major he returned to the Houston area where he bought a water lilly farm in Anauch Texas. He owned and operated Water Lilly World until he retired, sold the farm and moved to Crosby. Fred’s wife Elaine preceded him in death just months ago. He leaves behind his steep son Peter Kline and several grandchildren. All 4 of Fred’s siblings also graduate from Sam Houston. Wallace, Randy, Loretta and Tammy. Fred will be greatly missed by us all.

Diane Grayson (Goloby) (1971)

The Ribbon Cutting ceremony was great! I felt like we were at our old pep rally and cheered like no time passed. The Senior students toured us around the new building, although school was in session. Being retired I assumed it was Saturday. It was cute how they asked some of us alumni questions, like,  "So what did YOUR uniforms look like when you went to Sam Houston?"  They were shocked and envious to find out that we didn't wear them, and we girls got to wear Mini skirts - as long as they weren't higher than 6" from the knees up as we knealt on the floor and a ruler was placed next to us to measure the length.

The new building is beautiful and the students and teachers are so proud. I never saw such pride in a school building. They said they felt like they were in college. The Principal said the whole atmosphere has changed and student attitudes improved. One of the Assistant Principals came up to show us a good view outside from the second floor. He said when he taught at the old Sam, he had to close the restrooms because they were in such bad shape. Even the kids bragged about the new restrooms! (They ARE nice because I tried them out!)

They wanted cash for the bricks, keychains, and locker fronts, and of course I had a card. Miss Emma Scott - PE Coach 1965-1990 was there and I tried to get the attention of the girl announcer to have her stand after the Alumni stood at the ceremony.  THere are more items and they can be bought at the school. Just let the Principal know. They are stored in the closet near the reception room. Everything was $10.00, plus there were some yearbooks, but not the older ones.

Charlotte Pate (Poole) (1962)

YES!  I HAD TO SEE THOSE RESTROOMS, TOO.   DURING THE CEREMONIES, IT WAS MENTIONED THAT THE RESTROOMS WERE FABULOUS.   THEY HAVE AUTOMATIC FLUSHING TOILETS, MOTION-ACTIVATED WATER FAUCETS, AND TORNADO HAND DRYERS.   THE STUDENT BAND WAS TERRIFIC, THE TIGERETTES WERE SPECTACULAR IN THEIR GOLD AND BLACK  DANCE COSTUMES, AND CHEERLEADERS ARE SMART-LOOKING AND CONFIDENT.   THERE IS A GRAND STAIRCASE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIRST FLOOR FOR GOING UPSTAIRS AND/OR JUST SITTING DOWN TO VISIT WITH FRIENDS.  THE CONSTRUCTION IS STILL ACTIVE AND I CAN ONLY IMAGINE HOW BEAUTIFUL IT WILL BE.  THERE ARE 2 PALLETS OF BRICKS STILL AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE.   PLEASE CONTACT THE SCHOOL FOR PURCHASE.
