Could that be Barbara (Bubbles) Langford?? It looks like her always sweet smile!

Alice Isaacs (Ratliff)

Steve,  remember 4th grade at Washington Ave..?  You and  I, Jim Binns, Fred Tucker, Terry Green, and Jimmy Wilmot did a singing recreation of the 1951 movie "Showboat".  I was the riverboat gambler and you, in coveralls mopping da flo, wuz singin' a soulful song.  Did this kick off your singing career or what?     Hey Steve!  "No body Knows da...."  

Chuck (Charles) Wilson

Karla White - That is not Bubbles Lankford !

Sherry Hester (Trasp)

I am with Chuck, I was thinking Karla White!

Karla White (Dellner)

Goodness! it's pretty bad when you can't even recognize yourself!

I do remember being part of the musical--just one of the chorus, but still a lot of fun! RHS and even SJH had great music programs. I found nothing even close in my teaching experience in Utah and California! We were very blessed to have those opportunities!

Karla White (Dellner)

I guess she'll just have to be your mystery girl! I looked at the photo again! I t certainly is not me.

Sorry! I'd give anything for her lovely, long neck and slender face! What a hoot!

Stephen Wolfe

For Rex.....My Gawd, you have a memory! I do remember the Showboat we did at Washington Avenue. It was a Cub Scout presentation and my mother was the Den Mother. (She probably shared it with another mother....maybe yours.) You're correct, I did sing "Nobody knows the trouble....." AND I was in Blackface! There was certainly no disrespect to our black friends, but it's probably good that I never ran for office!

I just wanted to say, and not for the first time, that we were extremely lucky to have the public school education we were given in Roswell.  What riches, really, and great opportunities.  And the teachers I remember were sharp as tacks.  We might as well have gone to private schools back East in terms of the excellence of our schools, or maybe Roswell public education was even better.  The richness in offerings was a function of that period in history, too.  We were lucky.

Sherry Hester (Trasp)

Charline, You are so right!! We were very lucky. Being in a small country town out in the middle of nowhere was wonderful. It was a real awakening when I got out into the other world! 

Also I could have sworn that was you Karla! Both great looking young ladies!!

Tommy Weathers

The lady some thought was Karla White looks like Jettie McCombs.

Bill Leggett

All I remember is her first started with "C"

thanks everyone

Greer's Drive In

The sign out front promised everything from a 10 cent cherry vanilla coke to 25 cent cheeseburgers... and more!

Check out that convertable peeling out from the parking lot!  Could it be a '54 Ford? Most of the cars look early to middle 1950's.  I loved all those trees on the east side lined up, going south on Main street.  Then along came the Roswell Inn, since demolished, Buhgah King, and Hastings (now defucnt)  But wait... Harbor Freight took over the building... selling inexpensive (cheap) Chineese stuff to the unwary buyer... This not an opine, but an observation...  

Johnny, we do love those old pictures! Keep them cards and letters coming right on in!  Appreciate your efforts!!

Charline Lake

Wanda Campbell, the photo you posted of you, your daughter, and your granddaughter is beautiful, and by the way, you have hardly changed since your high school photo!  XO

Wanda Campbell (Bertone)

Thanks Charline realy enjoyd my years at RHS.

John Landess

Well, I am in Alaska and out of quarantine, so maybe I can send out a few emails... 44 degrees here this am and the skeeters are out in force this year!!

I am sure that I neglected to wish all the June-ites a happy birthday, so I will now. HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

I too, enjoy all the old photos of Roswell. Looking back, how good life was then, and so uncomplicated. 

Harvey Purcella

Greer's The picture was long before we hung out there. After going to youtube my guess on the cars are the convertible is a 1953 Pontiac, chrome stripes center of trunk and tail light location, the dark colored car is a 1952, 53, 54 Ford, the other one on main I can't tell. The one on 19th. St. is a 1950, 51 Chevy Delivery Wagon.  

Lots of fun memories of Greer's, but one Christmas night I happened to drive by and it was totally dark except one small light inside, I thought what a lonely looking place.

Paula Carl (Cowee Miller)

Warm cashews at Woolworth's!  What a treat that was for me. Otherwise it was a great place to buy beautiful material, and oh those wonderful assortments of little things that girls loved. I think I also purchased my first tube of mascara at Woolworth's. Unfortunately I discovered that I was allergic to it and ended up with red, swollen eyes; I was so disappointed. Great memories!  Thanks, John.

I am so sorry to have to report that our Classmate and Friend Jenny Totty Arrington passed away last night 6-28-2020. Her sister and niece live across the street from my son here in Albuquerque. I had told Jenny about this site the first of April after I had found and joined it the end of March. She said she was going to join. A few days later she had a stroke. She and her husband Richard live in Safford, Arizona. I am wishing Richard, their Children and her Family Peace and Healing. It is a hard time and may God be with and Bless all of them.
