A Highly Active High Schooler

When John Dan was born, Carolyn was 16 or 17 and "in love with" Tuck Gumm. There was a time when I prayed not to be a pregnant Mother of the Bride! Ha!
She and Tuck were really just very good friends and that was all. Tuck was like one of the family. He got contact lenses while they were in high school. I remember spending hours searching for them on the living room carpet.
Carolyn was very busy in high school. She took piano and voice lessons. Sang in the high school chorus and girls sextet. She sang one season in the operas that were performed in the City Auditorium—
famous soloists, and she was in the chorus. She sang alto and that alto voice was much in demand.
Her voice teacher recommended her to sing for "money" at the Episcopal Church services. She was very proud of that job.
She spent her summers at El Tesoro Camp Fire Camp. First as a camper then as a counselor. She loved that and worked out there two summers after she went to college, I think.
John bought Carolyn a horse, Rebel, when she was in high school, and the Clements kept it at their ranch.
