We didn't need a fix. The only 'joint' was Johnny's Grill AH the Hamburger. I can taste it still. Some of the haunts we frequented then were ole teen town BPOE and Sunset Drive-In. Can you recall those days gone by we dragged on the Main ended up at the 'Y'. Punk rock and Preppy the fads of today whatever happened to Pink and Charcoal Grey? The blue suede shoes the duck tail hair how very great that we were there. Remember Lawton the 'jocks won't forget they called us 'pig farmers' we proved them full of 'it' The Squaws were there the Pippetts too. Cheered us to victory without a Boo. The band marched on with plumes standing tall playing our fight song. A pride to us all. We had cigarette smokers shooting pool cutting classes being 'cool'. The Honor Society. They're being a few funny though they made it too. Even the guys in the FFA who would have though the oil barons of today. And then the teachers the soft and the harsh but who can forget our beloved Mr. Marsh. An educator first a leader too. But the sausage grind. Only he could do. We had the Letterman's Club, the Senate, the Forum Phi, BMC with officers too. The Drama Club, the Art Club, All of these, to name a few. All though we graduated and grew apart. El Reno High is in our heart. We are all here together after Twenty-Five Years to relive those days with laughter and tears. Now a Toast to a love so fervent it will die We hope this 'ode' may be an echo of El Reno High School through the years - sounding our memories of things that used to be and treasures we do not want to lose."
