Night at the Casino Royal


The picture above was shared by Laura (Davis) Larocque.  It was taken during the GHS Washington Trip, in 1960, on a visit to The Casino Royal at 14th and H Street, Northwest, "Washington's Smartest Cabaret featuring top entertainment from Broadway and Hollywood."

Girls seated at table (left side, front to back) are Laura Davis, Brenda Nyman, Carol Pardee, Kay Schreiner, Yvonne Savaria.

Girls seated at table (right side, front to back) ar Charleen Surette, Carol Tobia, Anita Roach, Alice Teles, Sylvia Tisdale,

Boys standing (left to right) James Eacmen, Tom Ryan, Vincent Maillet, Brendan Dunn, Leonard Slomski, Larry Hull, Roger Kinnear, and Donald Niemela.

Some of the performers who headlined Casino shows during that era included Johnnie Ray, Pearl Bailey, Vaughan Monroe, Ella Fitzgerald, Guy Mitchell,  the Four Aces, and Nat King Cole.

Do you have a photo from your high school days that you would like to share with others?  Thanks again to Laura and David Laroque for their thoughtfulness.  We hope you have made a successful move to your new home!
