2008 Reunion Gallery

Western High School Class of 1968, Russiaville Indiana @ the 40th class reunion -- 33 classmates were able to make a showing -- at least that's how many made it in the picture above!! It all took place at Camp Tycony in Kokomo, Indiana on July 12, 2008.  Some of us even took a tour of the old high school building -- thanks John Davis (WHS 1965), married to Marcheta Kuhns, for the tour + thanks Terry Steiner (WHS 1967), married to Joyce Payne, for the class group picture!  Special thank yous to Julie Anger-Whitehouse & Mark Thatcher for being co-coordinators of the event + all those others who assisted greatly -- you know who you are!!!  Can you figure out who's who above?!?

I know there will probably be a 50 year reunion (2018), but I have also heard talk about one in another five years (2013) -- so keep in contact with the classmates that you can and by updating your info at the WHS Alumni web page!

We were born to mothers who smoked and drank {NOT mine, NOT ALL!!}
Our cribs were covered in lead based paint
No child proof lids, no seat belts in cars
Rode bikes with no helmets and still here we are, still here we are
We got daddy’s belt when we misbehaved
Had three TV channels you got up to change
No video games and no satellite
All we had were friends and they were outside, playin’ outside

Chorus
It was a different life
When we were boys and girls
Not just a different time
It was a different world

School always started the same every day
The pledge of allegiance then someone would pray
Not every kid made the team when they tried
We got disappointed and that was all right, we turned out all right

Chorus

Bridge
No bottled water, we drank from a garden hose
And every Sunday, all the stores were closed

Chorus

Chorus

It was a different world

Song: Back When
Album: Live Like You Were Dying

Back When, Tim McGraw
http://www.cowboylyrics.com/lyrics/mcgraw-tim/back-when-13621.html

Don't you remember
The fizz in a pepper
Peanuts in a bottle
At ten, two and four
A fried bologna sandwich
With mayo and tomato
Sittin' round the table
Don't happen much anymore

We got too complicated
It's all way over-rated
I like the old and out-dated
Way of life

Chorus
Back when a hoe was a hoe
Coke was a coke
And crack's what you were doing
When you were cracking jokes
Back when a screw was a screw
The wind was all that blew
And when you said I'm down with that
Well it meant you had the flu
I miss back when
I miss back when
I miss back when

I love my records
Black, shiny vinyl
Clicks and pops
And white noise
Man they sounded fine
I had my favorite stations
The ones that played them all
Country, soul and rock-and-roll
What happened to those times?

I'm readin' Street Slang For Dummies
Cause they put pop in my country
I want more for my money
The way it was back then

Chorus

Give me a flat top for strumming
I want an ol' wurly hummin'
Just keep it coming
The way it was back then

Chorus
