Hi phillysantella, I live in Suffolk County. Several of the Berrimanites that graduated from there in 1961 live out here, as well as Nassau County. We get together for reunion luncheons, parties and dinners, and even have a teacher from berriman join us! My husband graduated in 1960. Also, my best friend’s husband graduated from ENY Vocational High. What year did you graduate from there? Hope to hear from you soon.
Regards!
Hi phillysantella, yes that’s the one. I’m not sure we’re going yet but I’m sure it will be lots of fun. Where did you live in East New York? Did you go to Berriman? It’s always fun to meet up with friends from the old neighborhood.
The Kinema was my home away from home. I grew up living in the Cypress Hills projects and went to PS 64 from 1954 until I graduated in 1961. I remember paying twenty-six cents admission, which was great since my mother gave me fifty cents, which left twenty-four cents for candy. If I bought the six-cent candies like root beer barrels, Dots, Jujubes, and Good & Plenty, that gave me four treats to last me through two full-length movies, cartoons and a newsreel. Kind of took up a whole day, didn’t it?
Oh who can forget those matrons in the white dresses and white orthopedic shoes? They were like prison guards, weren’t they? The kids used to throw popcorn and candy wrappers at them lol.
I’d love to hear from fellow Brooklynites who went to PS 64 (Berriman Junior High School). There’s going to be a big neighborhood reunion in 2008 for all the schools in East New York. Should be a great time!
