GRADUATION TIME! WXYZ JINGLES ’63 HIGH SCHOOLS


WXYZ SALUTES THE DETROIT HIGH SCHOOLS * D-E-F * 1963-1964


THE WXYZ ‘PAMS’ HIGH SCHOOLERS. ABOUT THESE JINGLES

*****

In 1963, WXYZ commissioned PAMS of Dallas to create a plethora of outstanding jingles saluting the Detroit area high schools. They were aired mostly during the Detroit high school graduation season and were highlighted as well on WXYZ during the fall Detroit high school football season, 1963 and 1964.

You will find every Detroit high school in the surrounding WXYZ listening area recognized in order — A through Z — throughout these collage of specially made PAMS jingle packages Motor City Radio Flashbacks presents here, and for the first time, all this week.

Which ever high school you may have attended on the Detroit map at the time, you can bet WXYZ paid homage to your school as named — and its colors — in the 1960s. 

Listen here.

From Dearborn High School to Frazier High — in this segment — you just may find your high school mentioned here, as they were aired on WXYZ Radio 1270 over 53 years ago.

TOMORROW! Schools beginning with letters G through L
