HOWDY, MY NAME IS BILL STRONG, I'LL BE YOUR "24 HOUR MAN", ROUTING YOU INTO THE PAST TO SEE WHAT THE CIRCUS WAS IN DAYS GONE BY. IF YOU'RE LIKE ME, AND MISS WHAT IT USED TO BE, THEN COME ON ALONG AS WE GO DOWN THE ROAD FOLLOWING THE ARROWS BACKWARDS, TO "YESTERDAY'S TOWNS"! IF YOU HAVE CIRCUS RELATED PICTURES YOU WOULD LIKE POSTED, SEND THEM TO,,,,yesterday1@verizon.net,,,,AND WE WILL TRY TO FIT THEM IN. "24 HOUR MAN" WILL HAVE THE FINAL DECISION ON POSTING.
Three years at CWM made me a real traditionalist, and I keep remembering Bob Parkinson saying, "I want the people to see what the circus used to be, not what it is today. That's what this site is about!
SCHOOL DAYS
I wonder if Jr. High School, & High School boys still wear Letter Sweaters, & let their "Steady" girlfriend wear them. This is my Jr. High Football letter, I guess you can tell I didn't have a "Steady" girlfriend. It was 1949, & I was in the 9th grade.

Hi David,
That's 344 East College Ave. near north side. Looking up at the end of the alley behind me is Chestnut St. I just had a great flashback of walking up Mason St. on my way to Roosevelt Jr. High,(we walked to school back then),and was on the part of Mason between Cecil & Casilly, where it is just an alley.WOW! They tore Roosevelt down you know, & SHS is going down too, no respect for the past.
I used to collect these sweaters. Never gave them back. I just dated the guys to get the letter. Must have had 4 or 5 of them. I moved a lot back them.
Dutchess, could you spell out a word with them?
W W L G H You know how bad my spelling is Gary. Could mean anything. I know there is a Washington, Webster, Hoover and Lincoln and Granite. I just remembered them. Can not remember the fellas names. But then again I forget the name of my X of 27 years most of the time.
Gary I can name every animal I ever owned. I have my priorities.
Bill,
I was told today that they want the kids from both high school, to go half days. North in the morning and south in the afternoon, until the new south done. You will be happy to know they going back to Springfield south high and wildcat.
