Title: Game show greats
Post by: geno57 on December 11, 2004, 11:35:35 PM

I'm not sure if you need to be a paid user, or simply registered with Classmates.com to view this particular area. I am a paid member, and just stumbled on it today.

There are a couple of hundred high school yearbook pictures of celebrities, including several of the greatest game show hosts ever.

Here's the handsome Gene Rayburn as a teen:

Note: My Mom attended the same Chicago high school as Gene, in part during the same time frame. She didn't know him, though.

And Hugh Downs:

A bit of whoopie with Mr. Eubanks:

Dick Clark, when he really was a teenager:

Bert Convy:

Bert or Burt (http://\"http://www.classmates.com/magazine/dept/celebrity_yearbooks/view.tf?name_id=351&offset_alpha=36\")

Even Alex is there:

Who is Alex Trebek? (http://\"http://www.classmates.com/magazine/dept/celebrity_yearbooks/view.tf?name_id=1840&offset_alpha=9\")

Have fun! I hope they'll allow non-members to view these.

Ahh, Gene Rayburn had that wacky look of charm he always had on Match Game '7x, I must say...

BTW, you don't have to even be signed in to view these, great find!

LOL! I love how Alex Trebek looks kind of unkempt. Totally not what you'd expect from him.

Nah, exactly what I'd have expected from him before '84, when he got that gig that kinda changed his image...

OMG... I don't even recognize Alex... Maybe if he had that huge afro on from Double Dare and The Wizard of Odds I could see more of him in it...

Is it just me... or are Gene's eyes HUGE!!! If nothing else... you could recognize him a mile away with those big ol' eyes!

You never know who you're gonna find on Classmates...a former Charlotte Hornets Honeybees dancer whom I attended HS with is in the alumni listings for my alma mater...alas, however, when I attempted to e-mail her, I got no reply.

ObGameShow: This dancer was the talk of GSC-X when the attendees saw her pics. :-)
