ROLL CALL: High School attended and year graduated.

[Freddie.B.Cocky]

Same here. Hated to lose to the red and white. Loved decorating the cars with purple and gold on the day of the game.

Yep, I attended my first Parker vs Greenville game in '53. It was the first football game of any type I ever attended, I was in the 3rd grade. Parker won that game but I can't remember the score.

And seeing the cars all decorated up in school colors was in and of itself something to behold. I'm not so sure that was done so much in the later days at Thanksgiving. But, boy do I miss all of the traditions of Parker, I had an aunt to attend there and numerous cousins that were older than me. I loved Parker HS and all of the students and teachers that I encounter.
The teacher that had the most profound influence on me taught at Parker.

Freddie, you may have known my sister who finished Parker in 1962. (Bettye Wells)

I looked her up in the1962 Parkerscope and I would have almost had to have known her. Because she was in a club for two years that I was in for two years. Although I finished in 1963 our paths surely would have crossed in that club.

 

[Freddie.B.Cocky]

Do you remember Dean Willis?

I found Dean Willis in the1962 Parkerscope. He was pictured with the baseball team. I glanced through the names on the football team but didn't see him listed but I could have just overlooked his name.

I graduated with Linda also. Linda and Mike were completely different. Mike Fair was the best athlete ever at Parker. His freshman year at Carolina he played football, basketball and baseball. The other years it was football (QB) and baseball. He was a back up QB in the NFL for a couple of years. He told me one time that the hardest he got hit in the NFL was by a snowball in Buffalo.
Mike
Hey, we were the rich kids at Parker because we didn't grow up in the mill villages. LOL

I read a Greenville News article a while back from the Spring of 1964 announcing that Mike had signed a Letter-of-Intent to play baseball at USC. He did, of course (shortstop), but that was just before the NCAA closed the loophole with the "Bear Bryant rule" requiring anyone on athletic grant-in-aid that played football to count toward the (still relatively generous compared to now) limit for football. He was a fine baseball player, no doubt, but- make no mistake- he was there for football. Most of the baseball team-save maybe a pitcher or two- were members of the football team. Same with Track & Field...many were members of the football team. Few years before South Carolina hired Bobby Richardson & began to emphasize baseball

Dean Willis was a very good QB at Parker and right after him came Mike Fair.

Spring Valley High School, Class of 1978. Our graduation class was one person shy of 800 and there was only 1 high school in Richland School District 2...now there are five!!! The school no longer has pods as classrooms.

I graduated in 1979 and only a small part of my school even had AC and 60% of my classes were in unconditioned pods. In SC in late August ......
