Illinois Valley High School - Trailblazer Yearbook (Cave Junction, OR)

Text from Pages 1 - 144 of the 1979 volume:

Trailblaxer Illinois Valley High School Laurel diver Cave Junction Oregon o .U We, the members of the Trailblazer Staff, are proud to dedicate this 1978-1979 edition of our yearbook to our principal, Mr. Roy Robertson. Roy Robertson’s desire to see IVHS attain academic and athletic excellence emanates from a genuine concern he has constantly displayed for all students and programs at IVHS. We are fortunate, indeed, to have such a dedicated, professional educator as our principal. The countless hours and efforts Roy Robertson has given to this school and its students. Our dedicating this year’s Yearbook to Roy is but a token of our sincere appreciation for what he has accomplished here at IVHS. 2 Dedication F riday night it was late I was walking you home we got down to the gate and I was dreaming of the night!! Would it turn out right? . . . School Life 3 Spirit Week: A Success In order to promote school spirit, the week of October 16 was declared Spirit Week. Every day was filled with dress up contests and class competition. Monday started the activities off with favorite sport day. Students were to dress up as their favorite sport. The Juniors won this first event of the week. Tuesday was crazy hat and hairdo day and Volkswagon races were held both lunches. Juniors again made a clean sweep winning the event both lunches. Wednesday was probably the favorite for the majority of the student body. This was 50’s day. The Juniors again won the dress up competition but had to share the victory with the senior class in the dance competition. The two winning couples were Lauana Oliver (senior) and Dennis Mariano (junior); Suzie Bleser (senior) and Doug Kraft (junior). Thursday was clash and opposite sex day. The Juniors again the winners of dress up competition. At both lunches pie eating contests were held; the winners being Larry Mason for the Sophomores and Joe Krauss for the juniors. The last day of the week was Red and White day. The seniors won this dress up competition by a slim one percent. At break there was a competition yell and once more the juniors won. 4 Spirit Week Signs Of The Past Although Cave Junction has only been established since 1926, the area surrounding Cave Junction has existed since the mid 1800’s. The Illinois Valley has many old buildings and ghost towns testifying to this fact. In an attempt to bring some of these buildings to your attention we have photographed some of the older buildings in this area; some of them you are familiar with, such as the Jackson’s house while others you may never have seen before. The main work source in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s was mining. Many mining towns were built quickly and then abandoned, leaving many old buildings and remains of towns. Pic. 1 Just an old tumbled-down shack? Not quite. At one time this old shack was part of one of the largest ranches in the Holland Loop area. This shack is near Patty Gillespie's residence. The shack is all that is left of a once prosperous ranch. Pic. 2 A haunted house? It looks much too peaceful. But according to George Bersaglieri this home is haunted by a ghost George calls Helen. The ghost likes to walk down (never up) the stairs at two in the morning. She also has the habit of closing the upstairs doors and then opening them a few minutes later. Helen is no longer in residence with the Bersaglieri’s be- cause George became mad at her and told her to please leave. Has Helen possibly moved to your house? Pic. 3 This silo is a proud reminder of what has been. The silo stands near the Hoback’s home on White School House Road. Original- ly there was a barn standing next to the silo but a few years back the barn collapsed un- der the weight of snow. The house the Ho- backs live in was built in the place of the barn. The silo has been there since the early 1900’s. 8 Old New Buildings The Jackson's home in Kerby is over a cen- tury old. The house has no major historical background but at one time there was a very unusual lady living there. She was a lady den- tist named Dr. Floyd. The house had been in the Floyd family for years, although the Jack- sons now live there. The purpose of these aerials of the school and town is to show you how much the Illinois Valley has grown and changed in the last few years. Yet no matter how much the Illinois Valley grows the com- munity must remember to take care of it. It would be a shame to slowly destroy all the beautiful homes and places such as these. The community must remember that after we are all gone there will be people still living here. We must leave signs of the past as her- alds of the future.

Roy Robertson, Bob Donaldson, and Gary Luerding have been one great team in making Illinois Valley High School a better place to learn and build knowledge.

Administration Administration 17 Counselors Secretaries Diana Lowery and Duncan Forgey began this school year with high spirits and lots of enthusiasm. They’ve had to take on quite a big job this year with the PI system, credits, and the students in general. Good job! Mrs. Sinkey and Jean McCormick have done their best this year to succeed in making our P.l. system easy and efficient. Thank you for all your good work, Jean and Mrs. Sinkey.

While she was here, she lived as a part of Joy Bell's family. Chelo's biggest problem was that she couldn’t speak Eng- lish well; but that didn't pre- vent her from making many friends in her own outgoing way. Valerie Trout Since Chelo came from a big city, the thing she liked most about living in Oregon for a year was the clean air and natural surroundings. Chelo enjoyed it here and hopes to come back some day and visit the friends she has made.

These trees will always be here to make the grounds look better. SKI CLUB—The Ski Club sold corndogs. hot chocolate, and coffee throughout the basket- ball season to earn funds for ski trips. One of the newer members said that he en- joyed going to Mt. Ashland and trying to ski. DRAMA—last September Mrs. Riggan began to set the founda- tion for a play she had always dreamed of putting on. for it had been at least two years since a play of this calaber was per- formed at IV. The play was select- ed. M A S H. and all but the last minute spots were chosen. Now the hard part, getting everyone to practice, making scenery, and cramming to learn the lines but somehow it worked, instead of simply giving the audience an adequate performance. M A S H was a SMASH!! The kids loved the idea of being stars, and Mrs. Riggan’s dream came true! Who knows what's in store for next year. 55 PEP CLUB-Pep Club is that enthusiastic group of students who always seem to be at home games ready to cheer on their team. They also do many things to help out the community; bake sales, raffles, and selling basketball pins.

Their aim is to be 1 in our District in the near future. 56 HONOR SOCIETY The Honor Society is certain- ly a club in which a lot of people want to get into for you see. this club is one which recognizes people who have shown leadership, service, character, and scholarship throughout their school years. The Honor Society is the back- bone of just about every program in school for there is just about every type of person in Honor Society. As a club, the Honor Society sets goals for itself in which it is to achieve throughout the year, and even though they aren’t always car- ried out. they give it their best shot. Unlike any other club or class in the school, the success of the yearbook is not judged by the members itself, but by the school, for if the book is received well, we feel that our goals are met. However, if the book is not well received, we have indeed failed. We hope, you may enjoy reading the book as much as we enjoyed putting it together, for it is not our book, but yours. 57 to engage in friendly academic competition within Southern Or- egon. This year they competed in five meets. Although only four people can compete at a time, we hope Hi-Q will grow in popularity and involvement. GAA —GAA stands for Girls Athletic Associ- ation. Girls from all sports and in- cluding rally make up the club. The purpose of GAA is to promote school spirit and strengthen the support of our sports program. This year their main event was raising money to buy warm-up shirts. SPECIAL EDUCATION—The Special Education class, more commonly known as the Educational Resource Center (ERC). has one specific pur- pose: to act as a resource center for students with learning problems.. There are nine full time students along with the many others who benefit in one or two areas. Their basketball team fought madly for a victory in the C division. This well earned first place at State was also a first for any team from IV. BOY GIRL'S STATE—For years the Wom- an's Auxiliary and American Legion have made it possible for kids to at- tend a week of education and fun during the summer. This year we are proud to have 4 boys and 3 girls at- tending. DECA—Distributive Clubs of America is the long name for IV's most active club. This is the second year DECA has been in our school and the enthusiasm is growing fast. The DECA Club sponsored a 24 hour Dance Marathon in addition to a Gong Show.

Jim Heern. FFA advisor, said one of the big enjoyments for the kids this year was learning to drive the tractors and plowing fields for gardens.

She hears her date pull up In the driveway, and a feeling of panic comes over her. Do I look good enough? God, please help me! She looks in the mirror for a quick peek of perfection and casually strolls toward the door. She opens it and is amazed by the site her eyes are fixed upon. Come in and sit down, my mom wants to take pictures of us. Her date lets out a sigh and finds a seat. A few minutes later, after their eyes have readjusted from the flashes of the cameras, they head for the door. What time will you be home?” I don’t know, mama. I'll come home right after the Prom. They head out the door and into the night of romance There are lots of people the Junior class would like to thank for the success this year: VALLEY FARM AND GARDEN for use of their fountain, FLOYD’S RENTAL for letting us use their punch bowl, the servers; AUDREY ALLEMAN, JANE WEST, LORI RATHBURN, and CHERYL PROETT for all their time and tolorence, MR.

Goodman believes the members of the team will carry discipline, respect, and confidence” gained during the season on to other sports as well as coming years. Things are real iffy to start off with, Goodman said of the beginning of the Cougar’s football season. It was plagued by failure of the Varsity program that forced a hurry-up formation of the frosh-soph team, a big change-over in coaching, and a lack of a workable schedule. But by a week before their first game against Douglas, the Cougars had these difficulties ironed out.” With these practical barriers dissolved, the way was clear for development in practice, and the Cougars won their first game 30-0 with Scenic and went on to score a more decisive victory of 38-0 against Phoenix. Though it was a big game for the frosh- sophs, the following game against South Umpqua was the test of a quality team versus a quality team. They passed the test. They still did not come across with their first win on the road, but the Cougars knew they had played well. The kids never gave up,” Goodman said, it’s tough to lose when you’ve played your best, but the Cougars didn’t quit.” In fact, the loss brought the team closer, to a point where they could communicate as a team and discuss the importance of a win to their program. too much confidence, but kept IV’s philosophy” and beat GP 27 to 22, the boys were met with a cheering welcome at Cave Junction’s Pizza Deli. Eagle Point at home was just that essential win. Numbers like IV, 40, EP, 0, are impressive but the growth within the team toward a season and a program were the real highlights of the Eagle Point game. ’’The discipline, respect, and confidence I spoke of earlier weren’t evident until Eagle Point at home,” says Coach Goodman. Another indicator of success for the program came after the Cougar’s last game at home with Grants Pass. Following a game in which ’’they had almost Clockwise from far left.

Cross Country is a long distance running event; run across a rough, designated course. Both boys and girls compete in this sport; girls running 3,000 meters, boys running 5,000 meters. Cross Country season begins in early September and ends with the district meet, usually held in mid-November. Those that place well at District go on to compete against the highest placing runners in the state. A Cross Country team is composed of boys' and girls’ Varsity and Junior Varsity teams. Divisions between Varsity and Junior Varsity are made according to the caliber of the runner. Due to lack of participants, there is no girls’ Junior Varsity team this year, consequently; all girl participants must run at Varsity level; creating a large responsibility for those runners. In spite of this, the girls have done admirably. Before running an official race, the runners jog slowly over the track. This helps to ascertain their course. The team score is determined by adding the places of the first five runners. The lowest total wins the meet. 102 Cross Country Girls' Cross Country team: clockwise from left: Ginger Wheeler. Mary Clarke, Kelly Franklin, Nan- cy Reynolds, Audrey Alleman. Coach: Dave Hartesveldt Picture 2: Kelly Franklin at District Picture 3: Mary Clarke Picture 4: I V. at District: Nancy Reynolds leading the pack. Dave Hartesveldt was totally new to the concept of coaching before the 1978 season. He feels that though the season was mainly a learning experience for him and the team, next season will be more successful. Nancy Reynolds has been running in Cross Country since her freshman year. She is named Girls Outstanding Cross Country member for 1975-78. This year Nancy received first place at district level. Cross Country 103 Grace, suppleness, and rhythm, is that what the gymnastics team is all about? Or is it the long hours, dedication, and hard work that has made it so much better? This is the second year for the Illinois Valley Gymnastics team, there has been noticeable improvements in the team. An example of this improvement would be how well they have done at District this year compared to last. Last year they had approximately seven points: this year the team had close to thirty points. The team members from last year feel the team has improved in several ways. The members themselves have gained more experience and self- confidence. Also, this is the first year the team has had outfits so they did not have to compete in Coach Elizabeth Bryan has been teaching for six years, three of those years have been at Illinois Valley, the other years at Klamath Union High School. This is her first year of coaching gymnastics at Illinois Valley; although she coached for Klamath Union High School before she came to Illinois Valley. Coach Bryan was pleased with the gymnastics team and feels that next year they will do better yet. She also teaches Health and is the advisor of Pep Club. their warmup uniforms. Even though the team has yet to win a meet, they are losing by fewer points and are able to hold their own when competing. Mrs. Bryan, the coach, feels that the team is noticeably better than last year and she was not the least bit disappointed with them. She has noticed that they use more technique and better execution, also that they use routines that are more difficult. Last but not least, she felt that they were more motivated toward improving. When competing, the girls are judged by three things: originality and value of combination, difficulty, and the organization and composition of 104 Gymnastics Picture 1: Coach 8ryan (and what an ugly mug she is!).

Their routines must contain at least four elements of medium difficulty and three elements of superior difficulty. The total amount of points that can be received is ten points. The girls who received letters this year are Lisa Oliphant, Tammi Oliver, Lisa Lowery, Finny Straley, and Priscilla Gillespie (manager). Lisa Lowery was also awarded the most inspired gymnast. Tara Whitney was awarded the most improved gymnast and Brenda Warfield was all round. All around means she competed in all of the events. Generally a gymnast will specialize in one or two events rather than all four. The four events are the floor, the balance beam, the vault and the uneven parallel bars. Many thanks to the people who came to the meets and those who helped out, such as Joe Krauss, who acted as announcer at home meets, Doug Kraft and Priscilla Gillespie. Priscilla was team manager and Doug was the meet director. Rhythm Routine Results Gymnastics 105 Volleyballers Strikes Again Although the '78' volleyball season wasn’t as successful as the previous one, the Varsity and Junior Varsity volleyballers did their best to make it good. On Wednesday, November 15, the awards banquet was held in the IVHS cafetorium. Cindy Gould received the most improved player award while Shellie Mason received the captain award.

Becky was chosen as the first player on the second string. The Skyline Conference is considered to be one of the toughest conferences in the state. The Junior Varsity volleyball team did well this year with four wins and three loses. Since last year, three schools have dropped out of our league, these schools are Crater, Grants Pass and Saint Mary’s All of the members worked hard to make their team the best possible; from a small but dedicated team. As a whole, members of the teams felt that the season was good. Illinois Valley worked hard as a team and did the best they could. Alice Straley was awarded the most improved player, even though all of the players gained more skill throughout the season. Lori Rathburn was awarded the most valuable player, since she was always there when needed. For a while Loretta O’Brien was a swing Varsity and JV player until she was made a Varsity player in the middle of the season. Meanwhile, the Frosh volleyballers were experiencing what it is like to play high school level games. The freshmen started off their season with a win against Hidden Valley. But as the season progressed, we were to win only one more game; against Grants Pass Blue. All the players played hard, and that’s what counts, good teamwork! As a result, the IVHS volleyball season wasn’t as good as expected, but it will help the future teams of IV try harder to once again qualify for the state finals. Many thanks to all the players, managers, stats, coaches, trainers, and everyone who came to the games and supported our teams. Top row left to right: Coach Hoback. Lori Rathburn. Tanja Berglund.

These fund raising activities included bake sales, managing a concession stand at the 1st annual Cave Junction Womens’ Softball Tournament, a Poncho Villa” booth and dunk tank at the Labor Day Festival, and Spirit Week in October, which included the Sadie Hawkins Dance. Spirit Week is a tradition as well as a fun way to add spirit to education. The girls on the rally team sponsored all of the contests and competition throughout the week.

Wrestlers 1978-79 Overall, one would say it was a building year for our wrestling team. There were a few of the old veterans returning this season, but the majority of the team was composed of freshmen and sophomores. The young team members did well in their first season, and were in the swing of things by mid- season. One Freshman, Bob Brousseau, competed at varsity level, placing fourth overall at District. Matt McDowell and Kelly Gibbons showed great improvement this year. Matt Miller, also a Freshman, won the majority of his matches with pins. David Snyder and Barry Davison, Juniors, did well this season, David winning well over half of his matches, wrapped up this season with a lot more knowledge than previously. Kirk Lemley, unfortunately a Senior, also had a good season. Coach Wes Brown is looking forward to next year when he will have some more experienced members. If next year’s members are as enthusiastic as this year’s, the team should be very competitive. Top row. left to right. Matt McDowell. Matt Miller. David Snyder. Keith Fox. Ewing Betties.

Success might be determined by season record, 15-9; league re- cord, 13-1; or league standings, first place. Individual success was apparent in each of the ten varsity players. Special recogni- tion went to Julie Jenson, second leading scorer in the league, first team all conference, and Most Valuable Player (chosen by team- mates); Michele O’Brien received first team all conference honors; Nancy Miller was awarded honor- able mention in her all confer- ence selection, and was one of the leading defensive players in the league; Kelly Franklin was se- lected by her teammates as the most improved player on the '79 team. Success must mean more than special recognition or honors. Winning definitely is an impor- tant part of any Varsity program; but personal growth for each par- ticipant must be the primary goal of the program. Ten people at Illi- nois Valley High have learned that committing themselves to attain a goal has benefited them in athletics as well as in life, and the end product is SUCCESS.

The girl’s Junior Varsity basketball team was extra great this year. It was extra-spirited, extra-ordinary, and extra-exciting, to say the least. Most commonly, the Varsity team gets all the players that show talent, while the JV team gets the remainder of players. Such is not the case this year. Each team was equally dispersed. The Varsity team had it’s Nancy Miller’s and Julie Jenson’s while the JV team had it’s Cheryl Proett’s and Darlena Dick’s. The girls will all agree that this was one of the better seasons for JV play and one will agree after seeing the girls complete a 15-5 overall season record and nab the second place slot in league play. Yes, they had their wins and losses but each time they stepped onto the court, their spirit shined for us as our pride did for them. Our biggest wins were registered over Grants Pass and Medford (both Triple-A) in addition to Hidden and North Valley, our biggest contenders. In the way of top players, Darlena Dick was noted for her sharp outside shots which brought IV back from many tough situations while Cheryl Proett received praise for the improvement she made with ball handling as well as her charm which helped fire the team up.

The two wins came at their last two games when they over came the I can’t attitude and started the I can!” This group of individuals worked long, hard hours to develop self confidence and selfcontrol to learn to work as a team. Donna Hart was named the Most Valuable Player for the 1978-79 season, Donna was awarded this honor because of her outstanding rebounds, scoring, and teammanship. Mary Krauss received the Most Improved Player award. She over came the I can’t!” and ”1 will try” to ”1 did it, Mrs. Jenson, I did it!” Mary is definitaly the ”1 can do it!” girl. These girls had lots of team spirit and determination, which stood out all season long. They are Winners! Picture 1: Get that ball! Kathy Pullen and Pat Elmer reaching out for the sphere.

Girls Basketball 117 78-79 Boys Basketball Successful” is exactly the word for this year’s Freshmen boys basketball team. The first year IV players completed a 16-game schedule with a 13-3 record, highlighted by the breaking of two school records. The Cougars lost to Eagle Point, making their record 6-3 in the first half of play. Coach Monier described the playing of the team against Eagle Point as lackadaisical, no intensity at all. His efforts to whip them back into shape paid off as the Cougars didn’t lose a game the rest of the season. An unforgettable victory over Eagle Point helped the Cougars avenge a loss earlier in the season. The Cougars destroyed the Eagles 114-26, breaking a school record for the most total points in a game. Frank Pinios also broke a 25-year-old record by scoring 43 points. Besides ending up with a 13-3 record, the Cougars finished with a 10-1 league record in the Skyline Conference championship. Leading scorers were Neal Dierkes (19.0) Frank Pinios (16.8) Darnell Dick (13.2) Jeff Stillwagon (8.0) and Mike Gianotti (7.3). Andy Schmidbauer and Tim VanDeGrift did an excellent job providing the bench strength for the Cougars. The young Cougars learned alot from Coach Monier this year, and will use their skills for further use next year on the JV team. JUNIOR VARSITY BOYS BASKETBALL By watching the Cougars play, you couldn't tell that 8 of the original 16 players on the boys Junior Varsity basketball team hung up their uniforms because of personality problems with the coaching staff just weeks into the season. You could, however, tell that this group of guys got together and formed a superb team, one that we all are proud of. One particular game worth remembering was the Gold Beach game. The Cougars were down by 23 points in the first half of play, they came back at the start of the second half with just one thought in mind, WIN and they did just that. The Cougars pulled themselves together and won 53-47. This game began a three game winning streak which was just what they needed to prepare them for competition in the Skyline Conference. Jeff Nichols was one player that stuck with the JV team throughout the season. Jeff was moved up from the Freshman team after playing just a few games. Two of the more outstanding players on the JV Team were Darrel Miller and John Nichols. Darrel received the Most Inspirational Award while John received the Most Valuable Player Award. These, like all, put their all out for our basketball team this year. VARSITY BOYS BASKETBALL The Varsity Hoopsters had a hard working, semi- successful season. They were blessed with three returnees and were able to mold together a well- disciplined team from the JV squad of the prior year. The Cougars played slower, more patient games this year, and in spite of a few let downs, faired very well over all. IV tallied three hot shots in the Skyline Conference’s top 20 scorers. Steve Parmerlee edged into the top 10 after scoring 12 points against Eagle Point. Mental breakdowns played a big role in the downfall of the boys, especially in the case of the loss to Hidden Valley, who ranked second. The Cougars played three top-notch quarters of ball, but could not overcome an 8 point fourth-quarter deficet, thus losing to the Mustangs; 53 to 45. Freshman Boys Basketball Team; Frank Pinios.

Frank also broke a 25 year old record when he scored 43 points in one game. Jeff Stillwagon received the Most Inspirational Award. Winter Sports Awards 123 competative. A lot of experience was gained from the season, due to the fact that most players played both Varsity and Junior Varsity level. A total of 37 games had to be played this season, some of which were back to back double-headers. The boys won all 4 of these double- headers, despite the strain of playing 4 games in a row. The team had some games along the way that looked to be sure wins but crumbled in the last inning. Several close games were lost by only one run but there were also many sweet victories. Rogue River was one such victory for the Junior Varsity team - 19-4 was the final score. Also when the team played Riddle, the final score was 20-5. The Cougars baseball program was supported this year by many students and local fans. The supportshown helped to lift the club during many, if not all, of their games. Baseball is Baseball program was in action. After the team folded last year, due to the small turnout of players, baseball at Illinois Valley was considered a joke. Most thought the game wouldn’t return here. Under the leadership and determination of head coach Jay Monier and cooperation from over thirty kids, mostly underclassmen, I.V. was on their way to a fun season of scattered wins and lots of game.

It is a sport made up of dedicated individuals that thrive on winning for themselves first and the team second. This year’s team was outstanding not only in specific individual events but also as a team at District and State. Success, this season, was not really measured by trophies, medals or ribbons. Success was measured by individuals reaching their set goals. When the set roals were reached, new goals were set. Everyone on the team achieved success by reaching their own goal or one set by a coach. Many times it was said by the members of the Track and Field team, We may not be the best team as far as scoring goes, but we are the closest team anywhere around. Everyone helps everyone else, which kept the team going. Row 1 - L to R: Keith Armstead. Mike Modrich. Row 2 - L to R: Tanja Berglund. Patti Sloan. Don Bell. David Cochran. Allen Eldred.

The ceremony was simple but completely moving from processional to recessional. Some of the special moments were the Salutatory address by Suzie Bleser, the Valedictory address by Terry Taylor, Mr. Robertson's speech, and Mr. Crocker’s speech Being Different Isn't Bad.’’ As the graduates walked out to Pomp and Circumstance, they showed they weren’t just the last of the Seventies but the best. 132 Graduation Graduation 133 134 Graduation The 1978-79 Trailblazer staff would like to thank the following people who helped us publish this yearbook. Ewing Betties - A tremendous asset to all of us. Moderne Studios - Senior Portraits Dale O’Keefe - Graduation Dwayne Sorenson - Club photos Pam Betsworth - Spirit week candids Karen Luerding, Lauana Oliver, Lisa Brunkhorst - these girls helped us out tremendously by volunteer- ing their own time to work in the darkroom when we were really stuck for help. Gary Ellis and Journalism Department - We would like to express our appreciation for the large amount of support and aide our staff received from the Journal- ism class when we sold ads. Also to Gary Ellis for his moral and photographic support. John Beairsto - John was the Yearbook photographer this year. He worked mainly in the darkroom. John was a big help this year due to his knowledge and experience in photography. Wes Brown • Wes is the Photography teacher at this school and also our main source of information when we ran into a problem. Wes was always willing to help in any way he could to produce a fine yearbook. Mark Constable - Mark was a staff member this year that ended up doing a lot of extra layouts and becom- ing a very hard working aide in the darkroom Ellen Vestal • Ellen is the Advisor for this year’s Trail- blazer. In order to produce a quality yearbook on time many extra hours were spent by her helping out in the darkroom, taking pictures of sports and extra curricu- lar activities. 135 Reminiscing Friday night, it was late. I was walkin’ you home. We got down to the gate, and I was dreaming of the night. Would it turn out right? How to tell you, girl? I want to build my world around you. Tell you that it’s true. I want to make you understand I'm talking about a life time plan. Hurry; don’t be late. I can hardly wait. I said to myself, “When we're old, we'll go dancing in the dark; walking through the park and reminiscing.’’ That's the way it began. We were hand in hand Glenn Miller's band was better than before. We yelled and screamed for more. And the Porter tunes made us dance across the room. It ended all too soon. And on the way back home, I promised you’d never be alone. Hurry; don’t be late. I can hardly wait. I said to myself, “When we're old, we’ll go dancing in the dark; walking through the park and reminiscing. Friday night, it was late. I was walkin’ you home. We got down to the gate, and I was dreaming of the night. Would it turn out right? Now as the years roll on, each time we hear our fav’rite song, the mem'ries come along. Older times we’re missing, spending the hours reminiscing. Hurry; don't be late. I can hardly wait. I said to myself, “When we're old, we'll go dancing in the dark; walking through the park and reminiscing.” 136 Reminiscing—by Graham Goble c Copyright 1978 by Fiberchem International B.V All Administrative Rights for U S A and Canada controlled by Screen Gems-EMI Music.
