Duchess of Weaselskin

Hey! Hope you had a great Easter weekend? NW Okie just ran across this old Easter photo of two little girls at their grandma's house in Alva, Oklahoma around 1945. They posed with their mother, Vada Eileen Paris McGill in their easter bonnets. Dorthy, on the left, must have been about a year old or around that age.

Remember this little ditty with the chorus that goes something like this:

"In your Easter bonnet, with all the frills upon it
"You'll be the grandest lady in the Easter parade
"I'll be all in clover and when they look you over
"I'll be the proudest fellow in the Easter parade."

What was your favorite part of Easter? Coloring, hiding and hunting eggs; new patent leather shoes that matched a spring, pastel frock. Let us not forget the easter bonnet. As you grew older over the years did you make your own easter bonnet to wear with your cut-off jeans and sweatshirt in rebellion?

Last week we shared a photo of a first grade class that we received from Ellis Raymer through Jack Wheat. Jack Wheat has confirmed that the first class was the 1st grade at Horace Mann, in 1947, in Alva, Oklahoma. The names that Jack could identify were: Mary Lou Huff, Tom Coffman, Neil Crenshaw, Larry Anderson, Searle Wadley, Mike Mixson, John Scott Smith, Carl Wilson, Velma Wilson, Perry McGuire, Mary McGuire. If this jogs a few memory cells out there and helps identify more, please befriend Jack Wheat on Facebook to help him identify more of the classmates.

Tell the GOP, "Stop the War On Women & Senior Citizens!"
