Found an old picture

[Tiger2001]

Im doing a picture slideshow movie for my mothers 50th birthday and i found this in one of the old albums. I thought it would be kinda cool to show you guys because of all the pictures of the new turf that have been posted latley.

[CarlE]

Any idea what year this would have been? This is a very intriguing picture. Looks like a graduation or something.

[tiger51]

the picture says June 76....

[CarlE]

DUH. I didn't even see that. Thanks. Good Lord that might be MY graduation.

[massillon catholic]

Where's the turf?

[TigerCoach]

DUH. I didn't even see that. Thanks. Good Lord that might be MY graduation.


I think you're right. Isn't that you standing in the lower right corner dressed in white?:tonguewave:

[CarlE]

Oh you're a REAL funny guy this morning aren't you TC??? Just hilarious.

[TigerVic]

Oh Man. I graduated 3 years later and that picture makes me feel old! I can't imagine what old coot CarlE must feel now. Maybe we should break out his class picture again?!

I remember the end zone stands being taken down for track each year, but when were those turnstiles removed?

I always thought that orange scoreboard was the neatest thing when compared to other HS stadiums at the time- especially when the messageboard went on it a few years later. Now it looks like nothing,

[DAWGH8R]

Please do NOT bring out that graduation pic !!:tonguewave:

[CarlE]

Please do NOT bring out that graduation pic !!:tonguewave:

I couldn't agree more. THANK YOU!!!

[CATS44]

Its strange to see the end zone without the bleachers, which were always stored under the east stands.

Up on the East Side we could always tell when football season was soon to be upon us.

A tribe of raccoons always settled in under the stored bleachers, and when the bleachers were put up, the varmits would over run us up in Sippo Heights.

Carl: Isn't your Graduation picture in Black and White?

Actually they brought in a stone cutter to carve it on a stone tablet. :smartass:

ouch...

[MassillonMom]

I can't see this as being a graduation photo.

Who are the girls in white?

Why is everybody walking on the field wearing black pants and orange jackets-are they all guys?

Just because it says June 76 doesn't mean it happened then. Maybe whomever developed it waited to have it done then. (Who hasn't left film in cannisters, etc. in a drawer for awhile?)

We need more information!!:smile:

They could possibly be the usher/attendants for the graduation ceremony

Why is everybody walking on the field wearing black pants and orange jackets-are they all guys?

It could be the attire that the Concert Band and or choir wore.

[Kamd50]

I agree. Those are not graduation gowns (way too short)and no one has on a grad cap either. It just doesn't look like a grad ceremony at all. Plus there are not enough kids and why would the boys be separated from the girls? The girls all appear to be wearing the same exact white dress. Does anyone know of any school group where the girls would all dress the same like that. Only thing I can think of is Washingtonians or something, but still not in those type of dresses. it is intriguing.

[MTiger]

Looks like the band is walking through the endzone. Whether its the Swing Band or concert band I'm not sure.

[MassillonMom]

I count seven girls' heads and then I think the students coming out on the field may be holding instruments? Look at the fourth one-maybe a trombone?

[RAPTOR]

DUH. I didn't even see that. Thanks. Good Lord that might be MY graduation.

It says 76, not 16

[longtimefirsttime]

Thanks for posting the photo. Things had already changed by the time I started going to games (1982) with a newer scoreboard and permanent seating in the south stands.

If the mother is turning 50 she would have graduated around 1976.

[Tiger2001]

Wow! Sorry haha! I would ask my mother what it was but that might give away the suprise. I found another picture on the same page of the album. Looks like a graduation to me!?

[Tiger2001]

Whats your moms name i graduated that year

My mom was a Holman back then, so im pretty much cousins with everyone in massillon. :doh:

And yes, she graduated in 76. Exactly 25 years before I did!

[MassillonMom]

Ok, a graduation -- but the Tigers?

Since when do we wear blue and white?

Wait a second....:scratchchin:


1976 was the famous Bicentennial Year!! EVERYONE who graduated in 1976 (including yours truly!) wore red, white and blue!!!

(Some of the girls in our class wore red and others white-guess what the boys (who wore blue) thought about that!):blush:

Blue was worn in the late 60's
The boys wore darker blue and the girls lighter blue.

[SECTION13PBTS]

This is the class of 75. Back then we had no choice of what to wear. Must be waaaayyyy before half you folks on here.

[orangeblood]

Carl: Isn't your Graduation picture in Black and White?HIS graduation picture was taken by that great photographer, Matthew Brady...:weightlift:

I found a few pictures of OB.

http://www.deadfred.com/photos/21806.jpg

OB, I've always wondered. Why didn't people from your generation smile in photos?

(The photos are from the Yale football team in the 1800's and 1916 Massillonian High School Yearbook. I don't think OB was around then.)

No it isn't. It's the class of '76. Thus the date JUNE '76. That year we wore red, white and blue robes to celebrate the Bicentennial. Went to quite a party afterwards, too.

[TigerVic]

The orange scoreboard in the picture was there beginning in the 1971 season and ending at the end of the 1982 season. During the 1971 season, Obie had a crown on his head.

(Interesting sidenote: 1982 was also the last season for the endzone corner scoreboards at OSU before they started putting the big scoreboards up behind the South Stands. The last game for those corner scoreboards was the Massillon-Moeller title game).

Matthew Brady LEARNED photography from Orangeblood! In fact, Matthew Brady was the photographer at CarlE's 1876 graduation that started this thread.

Hey, my mom was a Holman too... wonder if we're related somehow?

[TigerCoach]

Don't tell us, your cousins with Monte also? Who isn't? LOL!!!

[Tiger2001]

Hey, my mom was a Holman too... wonder if we're related somehow?


yes we probobly are.


...i saw this coming.

[LakeCountyTiger]

well, she went to Washington like in the early 50's? I know I had an uncle there in like 1970 maybe? by that name. Is there really that many Holmans running around Massillon?

Are they checkered or plaid?

They do look like they may be the bottom half of the suit that Carle wore for his senior picture.

:blues:

Hey, are you name-calling?
Do I have to put my super-moderator suit back on?

I believe my implication was quite clear, that the fellow down front taking the picture might have been your dad wearing the pants from a suit that you borrowed for that great bow-tie extravaganza.


:suspect:

[CarlE]

No name-calling from here, my friend. And no, I have absolutely NO idea who the guy with the camera wearing the kitchen tablecloth is. I swear!!

[LakeCountyTiger]

Sounds like it could be a Holman

Ah, the wonderful fashion trends of the 70's.

[Benchboss1]

DUH. I didn't even see that. Thanks. Good Lord that might be MY graduation.

I am quite impressed with the fact that you even graduated CarlE!!:tonguewave:

[orangeblood]

I am quite impressed with the fact that you even graduated CarlE!!:tonguewave:Yeah, I know. CarleE really had trouble with political science in school...:hug:

[CarlE]

BB1, miracles NEVER cease!!

[Swissie]

I was there, I saw it all! I was a witness to the crime, so to speak. Must have been one of my earliest memories, cause I am no where near as old as the "much older" CarlE. Hmm, I also have access to photos from the afterparty.....maybe I should go through them again and see if I can find evidence of CarlE's early debauchery?

[obie 66]

In those days the endzone and track seats were put up the week before the season started.

[Smitty]

I was there, I saw it all! ....

Sounds to me like this gal wants blackmail money.

[CarlE]

Sounds to me like this gal wants blackmail money.

Of COURSE she does. But she's far enough away that I don't think she can cause too much harm. Famous last words!!
