Happy 60th Birthday to the Nicholls Twins!
2009 Marilyn Miller, Jeanne (Barron) Aikman, Carol (Nicholls) Lebrecht, Cathy (Nicholls) Coyle and Cathy Palmer
Below are a couple of pics of Cathy and John taken in Rome 2007 at the Trevi Fountain and the Colliseum. Cathy wrote, "We just happened to throw some coins into the Fountain and you know what that means.... we were destined to return!" And sure enough, both Cathy and Carol along with family are currently traveling in Europe and are celebrating their 60th birthday TODAY IN FLORENCE! How cool is that??!
And here is a recent email from Kent Barcus!
Now that our non-official-but-beloved Class Babies, the identical-but-noninterchangeable Nicholls Sisters reach the same milestone or landmark as the rest of us effective December 1, 2009 it seemed good to request the Acme Discount Comedy Song Company to compose a master work on their behalf, except that it is cheaper just to have them provide the lyrics, as follows:
Finally you're just like us,
Just like us,
Just like us,
Finally you're just like us,
Wow, what kept you?
The alternative words were turned down because they implicitly despised Carol and Cathy for being in their fifties while the majority of '67 had begun championing the rights of Senior Citizens except that none of us had actually volunteered for that duty and probably won't for about another ten to twenty years.
Happy Birthday to all, especially Cathy and Carol,
Kent

Comparing the 2009 and 1972 Football Games
The Big Game lacks the pageantry of years ago

Standing on Memorial Field Friday night watching The Big Game with my classmates and former Burbank High School football stars, we reminisced about the last time we were all together in the stadium. We couldn’t help but notice the lack of excitement and revelry we remember from that great 1972 season.
Leo Orange, Mick Flavin, Bruce Smentek, Frank Baldino, Fred Hodges and Mario Perez from the championship team of 1972 were huddled on the right side of the field near the goal post. They were excited about the upcoming transformation of the football stadium and several said after 66 years, it’s definitely time for a facelift.
But we all couldn’t help but notice the lack of songs we remember the band used to play throughout the game to get the guys fired up. Gone were ”Go, go go, go you Mighty Bulldogs,” “Fight for Burbank” and “Budweiser” to name a beloved few.
And, when the band went out onto the field, there were no baton or flag twirlers or drill team members galantly marching behind them in snappy royal blue uniforms and dazzling white pomm-pomms. And the cheerleaders pomm-pomms are barely larger than the girls’ hands now. They didn’t even bring them to cheer the guys on at the end of the field when a touchdown was scored.
Probably the most astonishing change was the band not playing the school’s song “Hail Burbank High School.” Instead, the football team did a choreographed hiphop-inspired drill with chanting.
Sadly, this isn’t the pageantry I remember.
