One of the Gallaghers was the all-time single season HR leader for Seneca (I think).

I was somewhat distressed when a large number of patrons departed the premises when several Wildcat alumnae gave voice to such standards as Paul Anka's "Having My Baby, and" The Carpenters' "Hurting Each Other." Songs of this genre were the mainstay of the WHS Marching Wildcats and did much to add to the musicality of our fair village. I was happy to hear these old gems sounded out in good voice, but somewhat disturbed to learn that present-day Wildcats (or were they Hornets???) may have lost touch with their unique musical heritage. Does anyone else recall the gusto with which the Marching Wildcats put into the Morris Alpert tear-jerker "Feelings"?<BR/><BR/>HoosierGatoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2903483516951946644.post-18350766009650958982007-08-15T10:49:00.000-07:002007-08-15T10:49:00.000-07:00Did the one known as Squelch graduate from Seneca ...Did the one known as Squelch graduate from Seneca HS around 1986 or 1987?

There were at least 3 boys, maybe more - I always got lost after Jim and Bob.<BR/><BR/>They were a friendly bunch and liked baseball and maybe some occassional front yard football. Jimmy, oldest of the group who should be 39 now, had an ear-piercing yell as a young lad and that combined with the CB craze earned him the nickname squelch. I'm sure that puberty may have solved some of that. The Gallager boys were frequent occupants of Tom Mollet's orange Apollo.<BR/><BR/>I had a few beers with Jim at Wapella Tap about 10 years ago. The family had relocated to Seneca and he sang the praises of Seneca for some time that night. <BR/><BR/>We were fortunate enough to go to Wapa-palooza. It was a jolly good time, Trisha served up a cold brew to my wife and me. The highlight of the weekend was the fine singing and entertainment (karaoke style) @ the Circle the night before.<BR/><BR/>bbdAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2903483516951946644.post-20257310012412195412007-08-14T13:57:00.000-07:002007-08-14T13:57:00.000-07:00To answer the update question...Wapa-palooza was a...To answer the update question...Wapa-palooza was a great success this year, 450 people attended! No additions to the barred list, just a few were asked to leave.
