GOOD MORNING, CLASS OF ‘64
HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!
We wrote and recited this little “love” poem in grade school. Did you take pencil to paper and scribble it, too? Were you brave enough to speak it to a favorite boy or girl? Did you suffer through a puppy love?
Roses are red.
Violets are blue.
Sugar is sweet,
And so are you!
Roses are red.
Violets are blue.
Sugar is sweet,
And so are you!

William Holden & Kim Novak Dancing in the Movie Picnic (1955)
Probably the most sensual dance scene in the movies. It’s said that William Holden had to partake of some spirits in order to do the scene. He didn’t want to dance. (The music is Moon Glow.)

And now when there's moon glow
Way up in the blue
I'll always remember
That moon glow gave me you
That moon glow gave me you
That moon glow gave me you
Way up in the blue
I'll always remember
That moon glow gave me you
That moon glow gave me you
That moon glow gave me you

I have often walked down this street before;
But the pavement always stayed beneath my feet before.
All at once am I Several stories high.
Knowing I'm on the street where you live.

All at once am I Several stories high.
Knowing I'm on the street where you live.
