yep Wild Mouse & Franks & Bun, somebody mention Billy Deal’s name. He had a 54 Ford 2 door lowered in the front and raised in the rear. I think they used to call that raked. He lived on the corner of E.41 St. & 7 Ave, his dad raced Crosley quarter midgets.

Richard, Barbara O’Neil was undoubtedly the sexiest girl at Filer Jr High. I don’t think she graduated from HHS but she did marry Gary Wall. Gary died from cancer at a very young age. I never saw Barbara again. I never knew Billy O’Neil except for the fact that he was Barbara’s brother.

We are all fortunate to have lived in a country as great as the USA. In my travels I always automatically compare life I see in other places and have not found any better that the good old Red White and Blue.

Talk about silly flash backs.....I was day dreaming the other day and had a flash back to when we were in school and it became cool to wear "Bass Weejun" loafers.....without socks. I can rememebr it drove the school admin crazy as it was certinaly a typical baby boomer type thing to do and they couldnt figure out how to "attack the problem"  as if there was one. I even recollect that some students actualy got in troube for doing this. Homer Wills name pops up for me.Happy holiday to you all.

I found an old HHS football program you might enjoy looking through. It was our Homecoming Game...HHS vs Miami Jackson. Photos of the game and the final score crying can be found in our yearbook. The entire program is located on the left side of our Home Page. Click on "Senior Year Football Program" and then on the link. It's in PDF format so you'll need a PDF reader to see it. We only had seven players over 200 lbs back then...and three of them probably had a chocolate shake or two the day they weighted just to be listed as 200 lbs! On many of today's high school football teams, I would imagine you'd only find seven players under 200 lbs!

Melvin "Jack" Krouskroup

The HHS football players may have been on the smalish side relative to other schools but when my buddy Gene Baker and I looked @ the players on the HHS squad we were even smaller!!! I think I was 118 Lbs then, and while Gene was tall he was way thin. Track was the answer, and we worked hard and did quite well.

Those were fun times.........Jack

Was that the game where Ted Hendricks in the end zone dropped the ball which would have won the game? It  didn't stop him from being a great defensive end for the canes

I recall a memorable away football game between Hialeah and Miami Beach. My recollection is that Hialeah won the game. There was one remarkable play in the game. Miami High had the ball and was close to their end zone. Miami ran a play where the quarterback was to hand the ball off to a running back. As the handoff was taking place Ted H. was already in Miami’s backfield and stole the ball as the hand off was taking place. I think he scored on the play.

Ray Valdez, I think that was against Southwest High. One of the few games that I was able to attend.
