Another Version of Fight Song

Hi, Gerald and other Fellow Tigers

Maybe we'll get that song all put together!
I keep remembering fragments--it seems one part was

Beer, beer, for old Temple High
Bring on the whiskey, bring on the rye
-------
Don't let a sober creature in

While our loyal sons are marching
Down to the bar for more

Isn't this fun?

Thanks
Billie Frances (Brown) Campbell

"We never stagger
We never fall
,,,,,,,,,,,,
While our Loyal Tigers
Are marching on to victory!"

Victory after victory!
Great going, Tigers.

(wish I could remember the rest of the words which we sang back in the '40s)
Billie -- Frances Brown Campbell (Temple Class of 1944)

We never stagger,
We never fall,
We sober up on Club 7
Home made alcohol.

--Gerald Jerry Bowles (Temple Class of 1952)

Here is what I remember:

We never stagger
We never fall
We sober up on wood alcohol
Send some freshman out for gin
Don’t let a sober teacher in

--Harold Powell (Class of 1952)

Never Stagger....

The song goes something like this.

We never stagger,
We never fall,
We sober up on Club 7
Home made alcohol.

Enjoy the updates on the football team.
The names of some of the players that make
great plays and some stats would be interesting.

Thanks,

Gerald Jerry Bowles

Cotton County Farm Boys

“Beef” magazine reported that the value of all cattle sold in Cotton County Oklahoma in 2007 was $46,411,000 on 338 farms.

For the information of all those former Cotton County farm boys who have wondered if they should have stayed on the farm: I returned to the farm and once figured that I annually raised wheat and beef sufficient to feed 4000 people for a year. I would be pleased to have $10 from each person fed. Over 30 years I never made that much. Did receive lots of exercise, fresh air, sunshine, wide open spaces and pleasant association with good people.

Harold Powell

From the Class of '52

Called Raymond Elis (Toddy) Nail last week. He is a 1952 classmate. Says he probably will not attend the Temple Alumni Reunion 28 November. Too much going on at home.

Seems Raymond has lived an interesting and productive life since Temple High. Served four years in the Marines. Retired a Los Angeles policeman. After LA he lived in Provo, Utah for ten years where he raised and trained Arabian horses before the move to Texas. He’s been married to the same woman for fifty years. He is active in a singing group that entertains all around. He sang, played guitar and entertained publicly for ten years. He keeps busy now.

I asked if George Neaderhiser getting us (Toddy, Joe Knox, Vonden Richardson and me) to sing as a quartet at Temple Hi influenced his later musical activities. He said maybe so.

I asked him if his being an Oklahoma State Champion high jumper influenced his life. He replied maybe so.

I suggested he write the interesting story of his life. He said he never considered writing. He, like the rest of us, should write our story. We each have a unique history.
