Gator Splash, May 17, 1946

T. C. Rozelle saved a copy of the SLHS newspaper published on May 17, 1946. It's a long read, but interesting if you know the people involved.

The food and drinks look delicious!

Sugar Land 1st Graders Visit The Houston Zoo, 1957

The 1st grade classes at Sugar Land Elementary took a field trip to The Houston Zoo in the spring of 1957. My mother took our movie camera and got film of it. I can identify many other kids, but it's hard to make legible annotations.

Fort Bend Mirror Special Edition on 4th Anniversary of Sugar Land Shopping Center

Not much explanation needed on this. Fascinating articles on the history of Sugar Land scattered throughout the paper.






















(The following page is from the main section of the paper. It had relevant articles that must have 'overflowed' from the special supplement.)

Second Annual Dance Recital, 1930

I found this in the Rozelle archive. It's a program from a dance recital performed at the Auditorium in May, 1930. I've noticed some out-of-towners (at least one or two Rosenberg children) participated.

Program from PTA Presentation of Living Pictures & Other Entertainment

Here is another item from the Rozelle archive. No date appears on the program, but I'll bet the date is sometime in the spring of 1957. I know some of the characters listed in the cast. Maybe they can shed some light on this.

Sorry I missed this presentation. If I'd seen it, I know I'd remember it. Seeing and hearing 'Little Joe' Bono perform "Sixteen Tons" would have been worth any admission price.

Governor's Inauguration Program, 1963

Marjorie Rozelle lent me T.C.'s files to scan recently. He had a program from John Connally's inauguration in January, 1963. Great stuff IMHO.

Imperial Sales Meeting Program, 1967

Imperial Sugar held a general sales meeting in January, 1967 at The Shamrock Hilton Hotel in Houston. I can't tell for sure, but it appears that Imperial invited customers and potential customers to the event. As you can see from the program they toured the refinery in Sugar Land and facilities in Galveston. I may be able to find more information in The Crown, Imperial's weekly newspaper.

Program: Sugar Land Gators vs. Rosenberg Brahmas, 1940

This is a real treasure to me for several reasons. First, it's the earliest program we have from a Gator football game. Many, many thanks to the Krehmeier family for giving us this scan. Second, my father and several of his friends and classmates are listed in the roster. They were juniors in the '40 season. You'll see Bill Krehmeier, Wayburn Hall, and William 'Sweat Pea' Gandy.
