Did you have a membership card? Below was from the Beaumont Journal article I mentioned above. The Circle 4 Club issued membership cards to kids who wrote in for them, and the moral tone of the posse was set. The club pledge, printed on each and every card along with the key for deciphering the secret code, stated,“As a member of this TV Club, I promise to mind my parents at all times, drink plenty of milk, brush my teeth and say my prayers every day. I will be courteous to everyone I meet and and try to be a good American. I will watch the Circle 4 Club every day and will never show the secret code to anyone except my parents or other club members. If I am in school I will study hard, always get my lessons and be courteous to my teacher and classmates. Each Sunday I will attend the Sunday School of my choice. I will be a good buckaroo always. I know if I do all of these things I will make a good Circle 4 Club member.”

I don't recall a card. I was only about 4 or 5 and Mama never said anything about it. But I do remember watching it and thinking it looked like fun until I actually got there

I was on the Cowboy John show. That was on Channel 4. Uncle Willie & his Birthday club was on channel 6. I was slso on this show. Remember his daughter always said the same pray. Do you guys remember going to Highland Ave Pharmacy after school to have a coke float? Remember all the match books the the elder Mr. Mason had in his display case?

Miriam, I think all it was just 7-up with cherry syrup in it. But it was good. Much better than the cherry 7-up that you can buy in the can these days. lol

Nothing in a can could ever beat the drugstore's fountain drinks. Do you remember watching the bread go up the rack at the Rainbo Bakery? What about the circle in front of Baptist Hospital?

Yes, I do remember seeing the bread. Just moved back from Tallahassee ,Fl. area and a small town in georgia just north had a bakery called Flowers and made me remember the rainbow bakery. You are right about the fountain drinks. Even the olive cokes at the pig stand!! Funny you mentioned the Circle. My friend and I was going to see how many times we could go around it, but the police caught us. Can't remember, but had a good excuse for it.

When you tell your children about things we did as teenagers they just look at you like you were crazy. Well we look at the things they do like they are crazy.People change just like times change.But going to South Park we were blessed.
