Dear CCS
Alumni and Friends,
again I
thank those who submitted pictures to our Seasons: Fall page
at
www.ccsindians.com Also thanks to those who have sent in
comments to be shared here. Pictures and comments are welcome at
any time. Keep your cameras and phones ready! Thanksgiving is
coming soon and maybe you would like to take pictures of your feast
nd festivities. As soon as winter hits I will be expecting pictures
for Seasons: Winter. IN SEARCH OF: Someone (or several “someones”) to keep us posted about news from CCS for the HAPPENING AT CCS page. For example, LariAnn Finning Hayes, Class of 1973, sent me the article that now appears on the home page.
On
Saturday, November 7th, at noon,
Perhaps you are a teacher, work at the school or have a child or grandchild attending CCS that may be interested in sharing with us from time to time. Anyone who has some information is welcome to submit it. THANKS
Bruce Wands Class of 58, wife Karron, living in Independence, Mo. Leaves just turning here close to 80 tomorrow. Not near as pretty as Cambridge area. Remember the smell of last cutting of hay and fresh corn silage as well as harvesting with neighbors, and the great times on and off the football field. Great views from 'Rogers' Hill, both East and West. That was a beautiful spot. Could see the back of our farm to the west and hills beyond Cambridge to the east.
Had a great time visiting just before the Reunion, just couldn't schedule 4 families from three states to make the connection, but Alpine slide, tubing the Battenkill,Owl Pen bookstore, Ft. Ti., Lake George Don Krebs (Argyle HS), Borden Robotic Dairy, getting the 1941 JD B running (the hayride puller); so many great memories of the home town to share with grandchildren.
Sandy Christensen Clark. 1962 HOW MUCH FUN TO HEAR FRED KNAPP TALK ABOUT OUR OLD DAYS AND FOOTBALL. THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES FRED. FALL HAS BEEN BEAUTIFUL IN VERMONT AND I ENJOYED SWIMMING OUTDOORS FOR 15 DAYS OF SEPTEMBER. OF COURSE THE POOL WAS VERY WARM. I AM STILL SERVING AS AN ELECTED TOWN OFFICAL. THIS YEAR MARKS FIFTEEN YEARS AND MY TERM IS UP. MAYBE IT'S TIME TO HANG UP MY SNEAKERS. I WISH ALL OF YOU A WARM AND HEALTHY WINTER. PAULINE AS ALWAYS YOU ARE A WONDER!!!

J. Johnson 1964 = Thure has submitted pictures for Page 6 of SEASONS: Fall on the web site.
Tom Raymond, 1964 Fernandina Beach, FL Fall (autumn) of 1968, from Col. Charles Raymond's archives (I was home on 30 day leave from USN after 9-month West Pac -"Yankee Station" cruise, Jan-Oct, carrier USS Bon Homme Richard, CVA-31.) I prefer Autumn - one might dispute my use of caps, but read on - because the feminine names Spring, Summer, and Autumn elicit visions of fair young maidens in long print dresses and straw hats, while Winter has to be a Goth in greasy jeans, leather, chains, nose studs.
Personal recalls of Cambridge autumns two-three generations ago:
October 1957, with the Ruskies' launch of Sputnik 1, birth of the
Space Age, Oct 4, see movie October Sky (brother Bob, CCS 1958
[1940-1995] loved the fact this was his BD!); one month at Patrician
Hall, 6th Grade, Raymonds en route to two years in Managua, Nica -
with nary a maple leaf down there!; football game at CCS,
Indians-Corinth, interestingly both teams in Orange and Black;
Halloween party, basement of Canzeri's, Academy Street; back in
Cambridge by Octobers of 1961 (Yanks beat Reds), 1962 (Yanks over
Giants), 1963 (Dodgers aced Yanks in 4, but Mantle tagged Koufax for
a huge HR!): CCS, upstairs classrooms, trying to stay focused on Mr.
O'Connor's Latin, Mr. Herbert's math, but distracted by the riot of
colors, veritable quilt of scarlets, ambers, ochers, fading
greens, on the hillside beyond, across South Park/ Route 22. Wanted
it to last forever (still does in a cobwebbed brain.) A note from Kathy Dunn Nygard '61 (Saratoga ) and Angela Estramonte '61 (Cambridge) who visited Anne Thiessen '60 (Baltimore MD) in Baltimore this October.
We enjoyed
a beautiful fall day on Federal Hill overlooking the Inner Harbor.
The rest of the day was spent letterboxing--one of our favorite hobbies.
One of our favorite childhood memories of fall in Cambridge is raking leaves to make "leaf houses." We did this at recess at the Grange Hall where we went to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grades. ANN BALDWIN CLASS OF 1960 RETIRED IN FEBRUARY AFTER 32 YEARS WITH THE SCHOOL BOARD LIVE IN LAKELAND FL. TEMPERATURE OF 88 TODAY. (10-22)
If you have any ideas or suggestions for the newsletter or the web site, please let me kow That’s it for now. Hope to hear from you soon!! Pauline There are 262 days left until The 12th All Classes Reunion, starting July 15, 2016.
