Sam, the photograph you are talking about was taken at Senior Day in the spring of 1957, too late for the '57 yearbook. It appears in the '58 yearbook but more towards the back of the book and not in with any of the regular photo sections, as I remember. It might be captioned "Ron Hege plays his guitar at senior day" or something like that. The guy wailing the upright piano in the background is Wally Moon another class of '57 musician. It was quite a Senior Day as I recall featuring a rubber burning drag race starting at about the Woodruff Place gate and continuing north towards 10th street, side by side, on that drive. Also a certain young lady, that will go nameless here, earned a trip to Ms. Turpin's office for a bit of too aaaaaaaaa "enthusiastic" dancing to Ronnie's rock and roll music. It was a great Day!!

John, thanks for your help in finding that photograph. I remembered that it was in either the '57 or '58 yearbook but still could not find it. After reading your note I did find it on page 131 of the '58 yearbook. I seem to remember that Senior Day '57 did cause some excitement on campus. I think our Senior Day '58 was a little quieter.

Ronnie, I am so glad to see what a successful music career you have enjoyed. Now, I understand why that Girl, who stopped us in the shoe store lobby, had such an dreamy look in her eyes.

Long Live Rock & Roll,

Sam

Seems to me I recall a Ronnie Haig at School #39 when I was attending there. If I also recall right "Ronnie" was a member in the school singing group. Music teacher at the time might have been Mrs Hendricks or Mrs Russell. The person whom I'm thinking of as "Ronnie" was also a Lt. or Capt on the school safety patrol under Mr Wayne Fairburn. Would be interested to find out with a confirm yes or a no you're all wet.

I do remember sure Ron Hege's first record "Don't You Hear Me Calling Baby" and how it set #39 "abuzz".

Another Indy boy makes good!
