Some of the most pleasant memories that I have are memories of my years at Grand Prairie High School and all the good friends there. We were so fortunate to have been teenagers during the 50's.

Some of the best years of my life. I know that I thought that they moved so slow and if I could only hurry and grow up, but I would like to go back and try to do it better the second time around. This is a great site and thank all the ones who have work
so hard and long to keep it so great. Just by visiting the site once in awhile makes me feel it was only yesterday that we were all walking the halls of GPHS, truly good times.

I treasure my many friendships. I benefited greatly from the education and discipline afforded me at GPHS. In addition to academics, I learned that hard work and friendships are important each and every day of our lives.

How can we ever forget all the fun times we had during out "Gopher years". What a treasury of memories! I remember going to have lunch at the Dairy Queen, eating fast in order to get back to school on time-some of us were smart and had a
"leisurely lunch in the cafeteria". I can't wait to see everyone at the reunion.

I had so much fun! Especially the pep rallies, weren't they the greatest?!! I remember getting out of school and taking off with a car full of girlfriends and chanting the "Fight Song" all over town, we were roudy and having the best time. And the foot
all games were great too, we had the best team in those years, remember how proud we all were. We wore our mouton coats and thought we were "just it"! Did anyone go to the game that year in Wichita Falls and it snowed? And we lost? Well, even though
ot everything was perfect, those were the most glorious, fun, innocent years and I will always treasure them.

I was mainly a transplant to Gopher Land. I went to elementary school by the junior high on the south of 80, then moved to Irving but attended Shady Grove for four years. Afterwards I went to Jefferson Junior High and then on to GPHS for my high school
ears. Most of my time was spent being pulled between Grand Prairie, Shady Grove and Irving. Loved the reunions. David Landers has been a great help. Thanks .

Really had a ball at school but wouldn't want to do it again. Thanks to all the friends we all kept each other plugging away. Have stayed in contact with some of my classmates throughout the years and heard about others, but being away for so many years
caused some of the memories to fade a little. Thanks for this site and all the hard work that has gone into it. I now see the faces that go with the names a little more clear. Oh yes, getting to be sixty isn't what it's cracked up to be.
