I musn't forget that haven of all havens at dear old "Hey, Acku Baba" (Senior football chant, followed by "Hey, Hey!!", SENIOR LOUNGE!!! A place, new to the school for the '68-'69 year. Only seniors allowed, absolutely NO underclassmen. And, then there was that great jukebox stocked with all the songs being played on WLS and WCFL.
The Songs Playing In Our Radio:
THOSE WERE THE DAYS-- MARY HOPKINS-- fairly new, produced by Paul McCartney-- (a great remember the old days song. Perfect for reunions this time of the year.)
MAGIC BUS-- WHO-- latest single (My favorite Who song. Love the cowbell.)
ELENORE-- TURTLES-- debuting-- (Boy, the vocals on this or any Turtle song.)
(THE LAMENT OF THE CHEROKEE) INDIAN RESERVATION-- DON FARDON-- (Paul Revere and the Raiders had a big hit with it later.)
THE SNAKE-- AL WILSON-- by the late-great Al Wilson.
I SAY A LITTLE PRAYER FOR YOU-- ARETHA FRANKLIN-- A Bacharach/David hit by the Queen of Soul. (What was the movie this was featured in?)

Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
