Entertainment "Classmate News" for April, 2018
On Sunday afternoon, March 25, 2018, Classmate Dan Geldert conducted the Minnetonka Concert Band at Minnetonka High School. It was a wonderful concert with a wide variety of music...everything from Bernstein to Bartok, and Classical to Jazz. It was entitled "A World of Bits and Pieces." The Program included these pieces: National Emblem, The Peanut Vendor, Allegro Barbaro, Harlem Nocture, Slava!, With Each Sunset, Jokeri, Along an English Countryside, Folk Dances, Funiculi/Funicula, and Yankee Doodle. In attendance were classmates Judy Gerber Tess, Barbara Brackett Solberg and Roger Johnson. It was a great afternoon of music to sooth one's soul. Dan Geldert's next concert will be in September. Check here for the date and announcement; Dan plans to return for rehearsals in August, and be at our 60th Reunion.
This is the Year for our 60th Class Reunion!!!
Mark your calendars for the weekend of August 24, 25 and 26, 2018! Our St. Louis Park High School Class of 1958's 60th Class Reunion will offer activities that weekend, culminating in a banquet on Sunday, August 26, 2018, at the Minneapolis Golf Club. Watch this website (www.slp58.com), your email and your mailbox for further details.
... that today is Catcher's Mask Day? The catcher's mask was first used in a baseball game on this day in 1877, by James Tyng of Harvard. In 1878, Frederick Thayer, manager and third baseman for the Harvard team, applied for and received a patent for the mask.
Can you recognize this photo?
For the next several months a photo from decades ago will be posted below. You should be tempted to try and identify the person in the photo. Write down their name. Some will be easy; others far more difficult. But this exercise will be a fun one for you to check out every couple of weeks to see if your memory is still intact and working! The name of the person in the photo will be posted the next time a new photo is shown.
Last March 26th's photo was of: Paul Gaugin, French post-Impressionist artist.
Here is our April 9th's photo: This one ought to be very easy; but when was it taken?

“Snow in April is abominable," said Anne. "Like a slap in the face when you expected a kiss.”
― L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Ingleside
“Summer is only the unfulfilled promise of spring, a charlatan in place of the warm balmy nights I dream of in April. It’s a sad season of life without growth…It has no day.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald
Some Revealing Myths About Dreams
Why do myths about dreams persist, no matter how unreasonable they may be? One possibility for the existence of these myths is because dreams are such a vital part of the one-third of our lives that we spend asleep. The more vivid they are, the more likely they are to lodge in our memories and prey on our thoughts.
The best way we can understand dreams is that they are only random impulses in the brain. These impulses are shaped by events that we encounter or remember during the hours we are awake. Think of them as a way of clearing out your mental filing cabinets.
While that may seem rather mundane, it's an attitude that can help you face the reality of dream myths. Let's rub out a few of those myths together:
