St. Louis Park Class of 1970:
Here are a few little known facts that happened at Park High or, they didn't. You decide:
Wacky Parkapedia
1. The song 25 or 6 to 4 by the band Chicago, was based on the fact that 25 or 6 to 4 was the time SLP students serving detention were let out.
2. The late, great teacher, Wes Bodin, kept seating charts for every class he taught at SLP.
3. Henry Winkler, was Steve Waldman, in two episodes of the Mary Tyler Moore Show.
4. Football and track standout John Rounds had a nickname. Was it Tiger, Tigger or Taco?
5. Our slogan for this year's reunion, "55 in 25 for 70" was first spoken by Vikings quarterback Joe Kapp. He was then reminded that the team only carried 40 players and the games were 60 minutes long. He then changed the slogan to "40 for 60 in 70." The parkettes appeared at the 1970 Super Bowl where the Vikings lost to the KC Chiefs 23-7. It was not their fault.
6. After missing a free throw in a game against Mound, cheerleading captains Mary Manoles and Peggy Ashley started a cheer, "We want another one, just like another one." Steve Waldman did what they asked for.
7. The '55 in 25" reunion is coming up. Saturday, September 27th starting at 6:00 pm at the Park Tavern. The question is, will you be there? We hope to see many of you. MB will be providing the free cake. Please go to https://slp70.com/rsvp and RSVP. It's that easy.
