St Louis Park
Class of 58, The Luckiest Generation |
Welcome to the
St Louis Park Senior High School
Class Of 1958 Web Site.
Home of the Orioles!
This is a Website devoted to the St. Louis Park High School Class of 1958. It is intended for those Classmates who graduated from this place and time. It is designed to be informative, inspiring, and nostalgic with memories of our time in the 1950s, including the music we loved and those we sat next to in class. We know that when the dust settles, we realize how little we need, how very much we actually have, and the true value of human connection. This website accentuates that connection, with the hope that we will always be together.
For music to accompany your viewing of this Home Page, click here:
We want to keep in touch with you. If you change your email address, or mailing address or phone number, be sure to go to MEMBER FUNCTIONS and make those changes under "Edit Contact Info."
April 2021 News

Classmate Howell Owens has discovered a video you may like. It's a fast, virtual drone tour inside of St. Louis Park High School as it looks today, done by students themselves. The students who attend these days really have it nice! They likely will never know how much tender, loving care the taxpayers have provided for their proper education. Below the modern-day picture of our high school, swipe the following URL and put that in your browser:

We have added a new page to the links at the left, entitled NOSTALGIA MACHINE (for music and memories). You will find it in alphabetical order on the Link List. Enjoy!
We have also added a new page to the links at the left: Pandemic Stress Relievers. It's essentially a lot of good old music videos for you to watch and listen to as you await the end of this terrible Covid Pandemic that has us all so self-isolating. Get ready for some nostalgic reflection!
**************************************
Let's all hope 2021 is a far better year for us Super Seniors!
Remember: Wear your mask and get the vaccine when it's offered.
But which vaccine should you choose to get? Probably the one you are offered by your healthcare provider. Here's the growing list:
“There will come a time for celebration, probably after everybody’s vaccinated.”
If you need some nostalgic review of your teen years in the 1950s, to remember those of us who still love you, then get ready to enjoy these

All we have to do is convince our event-planning group to arrange for such a special party so we can all see one another once more.
Remember when this photo was taken?

Did you know 11% of people are left handed; Did you know August has the highest percentage of births; Did you know unless food is mixed with saliva you can't taste it; Did you know the average person falls asleep in 7 minutes; Did you know a bear has 42 teeth; Did you know an ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain.

Just about everyone's interested in organic gardening from one viewpoint or another, so it's no surprise that organic gardening myths might pop up in the garden of public opinion. Myths both pro and con are easy to come by -- so we'll cover both sides of the issue in this article. Here's the truth about four popular ones:
