Memories about growing up in:

Did no one go to Roosevelt!?!

I did!!
Class of ‘64

We were a McLane family but we had buddies and girlfriends who went to Roosevelt — and so I remember being on the Roosevelt campus on several occasions as a kid. In the 1960s, McLane was new but Roosevelt was an older campus, which seemed to give it three big advantages: more interesting architecture, a proud history, and a more established and defined set of campus traditions. My favorite thing about Roosevelt was its huge grand old auditorium, where we attended some memorable performances.
Somehow I have the impression that the readership of this site is skewed slightly more toward folks who attended McLane, Bullard, Hoover, and Fresno High Schools than toward either Roosevelt or Edison. But then maybe I’ve got it all wrong. So c’mon all you proud Rooseveltians. This is your very own thread: Let’s hear from you!

MODESTLY "MASKED" as Clipper Cat, I graduated from Roosevelt under my real name in 1963. Doubtless I was considered weird by many, but my likewise weird friends were among the best people I was to know during my Fresno years. I, too, wonder why so few Roosevelt and Edison graduates identify themselves in this interesting journal. Fond memories of deep friendships remain with me . . .

What are the odds? I also "walked out the windows" in 1963. (Do they still do that?)

I'd say the odds are small, Chances! Don't know if that foolish tradition (dangerous) is still practiced, but cooler minds may have prevailed. On the rare occasions i find myself in Frez I sometimes pass the old campus, and could probably still identify the windows we passed out of (if they still exist). Wonder if we knew each other . . .

Funky forum. I AM CLIPPER CAT, but this thing won't allow me to post under that moniker.
