THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Thursday, December 31, 2020 Page 13 MALDEN: TODAY | FROM PAGE 8 most of the ’60’s icons, including Jimi Hendrix, The Who, Janis Joplin, the Steve Miller Band, Simon & Garfunkel and the Grateful Dead. Malden’s Dan Doherty is there and remembers most of it! Dandy Donuts on Pleasant Street announces that they are now selling “Dairy Freeze” in cones for 15 and 25 cents. On July 8-16, the Lone Ranger will appear at Pleasure Island in Wakefield. By midsummer, the Boston Red Sox have captured the hearts and minds of all New England (and most everybody in Malden) with their thrilling rush to the pennant. Cellar dwellers for the previous 25plus years Dick Williams and his team of “cardiac kids” will go on to change the baseball culture in New England and usher in the era of excellence (for the most part, anyway) that we all enjoy today. Overflow crowds were reported at the Hibernian Hall, the VFW, the American Legion, the Jewish War Veterans (JWV), the Irish American, the East Side AA, the Italian American Citizens Club, the Italian American War Veterans Post, and the DAV Hall for the Sunday pennant-clinching game versus Minnesota in September. Meanwhile, Boston night spots – like Your Father’s Mustache, The Improper Bostonian, The Mad Russian and the Candy Lounge – are reporting large Friday and Saturday night crowds for the game.

In July, diploma recipients at the Rockland Nursery School included Jill Weiner, Mike and Kevin Hannon (brothers of Mary “Ms. Pisa Pizza” Hannon!) and Paul Lussier. “Bewitched,” “The Beverly Hillbillies” and “Hogan’s Heroes” were making people laugh. To this day nobody can figure out how a program about a German POW Camp during World War II could be funny! At Beebe, Judy (the future “Fabulous Judy”) Repucci, Diane Marsinelli and Donna Angelo made the seventh grade honor roll. Israel is fighting for its life as they battle Egyptian forces across the Suez in what will become known as the “Six Day War.” In June, Rabbi Judea B. Miller of Temple Tifereth Israel on Salem Street announced that the Synagogue will hold a special service and prayer for the State of Israel still fighting for its life. Meanwhile, in July a swastika is discovered painted on a brick wall on Holden Street. Mister Sub at 220 Pleasant St. is offering a “Special of the Week” – pizzas (any combo) for $1.25.
