50th Anniv. of TCH

In Celebration of TCH's first 50 years (1955 - 2005)

Introduction Page

Welcome to the page dedicated to the celebration of "50 years of Quality Catholic Education" by Teurlings Catholic High School.

Many things got their start in 1955...

The 1st McDonald's

The 1st Waffle House

Disneyland "The Happiest Place on Earth"

Rock 'n' Roll

Most of the Class of 1973

The TCH Webmaster

But most important to us, Fr. Teurlings High School opened its doors.

The world has changed tremendously since that day in 1955. We will explore some of the ways the world has changed since then.

COMMUNICATIONS: How common it is today to see adults and children alike, walking around with cell phones. Ten years ago, cell phones went mainstream but TCH had already been around 40 years.

TECHNOLOGY: The amount of technology that has appeared since TCH's start is tremendous. None of the following were available in 1955:

DVD Players/Recorders, Personal Computers, Microwave Ovens, CDs, Dolby® DIgital Surround Sound, WiFi Networking, Plasma TVs, Microprocessors, Large Scale Integrated Circuitry, IPods/MP3 players

April 26, 1962, Freshman class, in what is now room 13. (Future Class of 1965)

April 26, 1962 - Eighth Grade (future Class of 1966)

None of those items probably surprise you, but the ones listed below may be ones you think of as ancient, yet they didn't appear until after TCH had been around for a while:

Cassette Tapes, CABLE TV, Color TV, Electronic Camera Flash, Commercial Jet Travel, Rechargeable Batteries, Stereo Music, Transistor Radios, TV Dinners, VCRs, Walkmen, Digital and Battery Watches, 8 Track Tapes, Disco Music, Polyester Clothing, Permanent Press Clothes, Weedeaters
