Let’s celebrate the new month with enthusiasm!

Pigskin With Fries
Braniff Airways Special
What a lucky group of students, off to fly the friendly skies in 1951.
But what’s going on here? Such eye-catching colors, he can’t help but be distracted.
Braniff had some great non-sexist ads as well. Check out the colors and the artwork on these!
Aren’t those fun? I could look at travel posters for hours. Maybe I will.
First My Hair, And Now This
Celebrate Good Times, Come On
Can you remember the last time you felt this overjoyed? This elated? I can’t. What on earth at this stage of your life could make you literally jump for joy and raise your hands in the air? Two points in basketball? Gas for $1.65? That’s what I filled up for this morning, peeps. Raise the roof on that one.

Reasons To Join Spanish Club, Part Dos
These are the four Spanish Club officers, who would probably not be happy that Conquistadores was misspelled in the yearbook.
However, their agenda confirmed the divertido that they were having. Mucho divertido!

Supporting The Shot
These strapping lads (okay, these two strapping lads and Kenny) display the most useful part of their shot put competition. I myself have never cast stones, but I imagine it takes a strong back to do so. These Illinois boys of ’68 would surely not chance it now.
When Lawrence Welk Was Pimp
“A-one, an-a-two, and a-seven.” Such was his catchphrase. At least the first part. Here is Welk surrounded by seven lovely ladies in an array of Skittles colors. This ain’t no accordion solo.
Those of you who are over 60 have seen many decades, and you know that 60 is a lot of years. Can you imagine being married for 61 years? Well, Lawrence Welk was, to his wife Fern, from the Depression to the year we voted Clinton president. No scandalous stories of adultery there. In fact, the host of The Lawrence Welk Show actually fired one of his “Champagne Ladies” for showing too much leg. Did you know that his California Model A Ford license plate read “A1ANA2”? Wunnerful, wunnerful.
