Sam Flowers 1st 57 Chev.


While looking through old photos I found a picture of my 1st 57 Chev.. I was obviously younger and skinnier at the time. The car was stolen and stripped one night, by a "friend", while I was attending classes at LACC. The car was found three blocks from a coworker of his house in a bad neighborhood. I sold it some time later and many years later located it in LaVerne, Ca., the present owner would not sell it however.

John Marshall High School


We had to attend a funeral in L.A., it was across the street from our alma mater John Marshall High. The main building has not changed but the rest of the campus sure has. I prefer the way it was myself. Lots of good memories flashed in my head as I looked at the building, teachers, pranks, friends I knew or wish I knew, sitting in the V.P.s office waiting to get chewed out for a misdeed again, it was good times. Not many problems on campus then, everyone had their little territory staked out. The gang guys never bothered anyone, the regular guys went about their business and the socialites mingled in the better area of course. The school was mostly white then with few blacks and a good representation of Mexicans. There were no problems between any of us, we all got along as we should. Many things in life have changed as has Marshall, too bad.
