Did you and your friends have a special hang-out where you liked to spend time? Where was it and what did you do there?

Mom-When I was in Elementary School (we called it 'grade school',) we used to ride our bikes all over town. We would play mostly outside or at each other's house. When we started high school, which was in the 7th grade, we used to like to go to 'Verda's Cafe'. We would sit in a booth and drink RC Cola in the bottle. We would purchase a bottle for 10 cents and then purchase a little sack or peanuts for 10 cents and pour the peanuts into the RC Cola. It was great!!! Some of the kids would purchase Coca Cola...either a big bottle for 15 cents or a smaller bottle for 10 cents. The trick was to make the cola and the peanuts come out even. At Verda's Cafe we would listen to the Juke Box and our favorite songs. Lots of our high school friends would show up. It was fun to flirt with the older boys. There was a pool table and the older boys would play pool and we would watch them. We didn't have a lot of money so we didn't order any food. Once in a while we would order a hamburger and fries with our RC Cola. RC Cola tasts quite a lot like Dr. Pepper today....it had a Cherry/Coke flavor.

Eventually, Verda's Cafe closed and Cula Ekker built the Sunglow Cafe and we would hang around there and drink Colas and sometimes have hamburgers and fries. Her special hamburger was the Bicknell Burger Bust. I worked at Sunglow Cafe for about a year but I preferred to work at the Sunglow Motel. Several of my friends worked at Sunglow Cafe for years and made really good tips. I preferred the Motel as I thought it was better hours. I liked to get up early, clean the rooms and then have the afternoon and evening off. I eventually worked the motel office at Sunglow Motel, checking guests in and out.

Brooke-When I was in high school, the place to hang-out was the Aquarius Cafe. I remember many times as a cheerleader; after the games we would go there and eat and hang out with lots of others. Even in the summer when there wasn't school activities, there were many times I would finish up at the Rim Rock and go to the Aquarius to find some excitement. One of the specialties were their Nacho's. It was nacho's smothered in cheese, hamburger, and other spices. They were delicious. I still haven't found nacho's as yummy as those in any restaraunt; or maybe it was just the memories attached to the nacho's............

Sarah-I remember hanging out when I was in Elementary at the Shaw's house. We had 4-H and then we would stay and play. I remember playing kick ball out on their lawn. It was a fun good place to hang out. In middle school and High School we hung out at the Aquarius restaurant in Bicknell. We would pack the big booth with as many people as would fit. I would always order there Nacho Supreme I still haven't eaten Nacho that greasey and good anywhere else. I even remember trying a cup of coffee there. I hated it, I think I put about a 1/2 cup of sugar in it. I haven't had anymore coffee since then, it was so nasty. All the kids at the table would try to get Annetta Uptain to come out and tell them to be quiet. Some times she would come out from the back and cuss out some one and we would all get a good laugh out of it. She was a really nice lady to tolarate us. I wish it was still their so I could take my kids to see all the brands on the wall. I think Dad could name all the brands and who they belong too. Good Memories.

Collette- I think the Shaw's must have been the hub of Teasdale growing up. I spent as much or more time there than my own house. I loved their big tire swing, Melanie's barbie RV and all her other toys they had downstairs. They always had the best treats like raisins, saltines and tang. I often wonder if Phyllis minded so many kids around because she never acted like we weren't welcome. In high school I hung out at the Brinkerhoff's. It seemed like it was the best place to play games and of course it being the Brinkerhoff's it also included a lot of singing and guitar playing.

Allyson- When I was really little, I loved hanging out in the field next to our house or going over to the barn and feeding the horses. The playhouse was also a source of a lot of fund as a kid(I have many memories of cleaning that place out). In elementary school, I would go to Mary Jane's house after school to hang out. Mom would pick me up on her way home from work. I wasn't part of the "cool" crowd in high school, but I would occasionally go to the sunglow for lunch.

How do your fellow classmates from school remember you best?

Mom-That is a tough question. I was very active in high school. We didn't have women's sports so the girls were active in the drill team, and other clubs. I was on the Drill Team all through high school when I wasn't a cheerleader. I was a cheerleader in 10th grade, and Wayne High Activity Manager my senior year. I was also good in the business world and was on the typing and shorthand teams. We competed every year in Snow College and usually won or placed. We all joined FHA and had parties. There used to be lots of dances in high school and everyone went. We liked to go to each other's houses on Friday nights and watch 'black and white' scarry movies...mostly laughed through most of them. I always played the piano for special events in high school. I accompanied the Musicals. I can remember playing the piano for "The Music Man." I also was in the band every year and we would march during the parade at the Wayne County Fair. I remember going to BYU one football game and marched in the half time show. We had a great music teacher, Mr Frank Keele, and he expected perfection and we produced for him. He was a fantastic teacher and was always a good friend on mine.

We always went to Mutual on Tuesday nights and we learned to do all of the dances, like the Cha Cha Cha, The Waltz, the Swing, Square Dance, Polka, Shottish, Western Swing, etc. All the kids danced and we all loved it. We traded partners and had stake dances with floor shows where we all danced. It was lots of fun.

I had a lot of friends in high school and we did lots of fun things. I was part of a clique called "The Fizzies". There were six of us: Lila Turner, Flora Bell Ellett, Kathy Rees, Cindy Edwards and Sandra Potter. Of course they are married now but we always had something poppin'. Someday I just might tell you some of the things we used to do.

So, all in all, I guess people would remember me for my musical talents, my outgoing personality, my friendliness, my dedication and loyalty to my assignments...when I was given something to do I always made sure I did it and usually involved everyone around me to help. I enjoyed being in Student Government and being a leader of the school.

All in all, my high school years were great! My friends and I still enjoy reminiscing about the good ole' days!

Sarah- I think My fellow class mates view me as the most friendly. I also had so many friends. I was friends with the nerds, and the kids that were a little different. I was just happy if I was playing with someone and probably talking. When I was a senior in High School I got the award for being friendly.

Collette- I think most of my class mates viewed me as studious, religious, dependable and not to forget the FHA and drama queen. When I was in 9th grade I had World Geography from the boys basketball coach I think his name was Larry and I remember the day, it was toward the end of the year, when he learned I was Sarah and Brooke's sister and how surprised he was at this news. It happened with Coach Southwick too. I guess I've never fit the Pace mold.
