Remember Chef Boyardee Pizza Mixes? As a freshman and younger sister of a senior, I remember helping to make and serve the pizza. Senior parents helped with the project by cooking pizzas in the home economics room. In the spring of Carol’s senior year, her classmates had a Pizza Party and Sock Hop to raise funds for their senior trip. Later, Lottie’s son, Malcomb owned the restaurant and ran a “Teen Town” there on Saturday nights. She remembers going to the café on most days after school to listen to rock and roll tunes and dance with her friends. Carol (Perry) Gorley was a classmate of her daughter, Kay Gibler (Class of 1961). Dick Clark became the host in 1956 and the show went national in 1957.Īt that time Lottie Gibler ran a café in the building which is now known as The Iron Kettle. The show began broadcasting from Philadelphia on October 7, 1952. Like "American Idol" today, "American Bandstand" became popular among TV viewers. At the same time televisions were becoming common place in American homes and teens, including those in Grain Valley, were beginning to watch shows like American Bandstand. “Rock-and-roll” became popular in 1951 when a Cleveland disc jockey, Alan Freed, first used the term. Music was the other defining characteristic of a sock hop. ![]() It was called a "sock hop" because we were required to remove our shoes so we wouldn't scratch the school gymnasium floor. Sock hops were held as early as the 1940s to raise money for war relief efforts, but the dances grew in popularity and became known as a type of informal school dance throughout the 1950s and 60s. ![]()
