Message = Hi, there! Many thanks for your mail the other day - and yes, I went to HHS in Hawthorne, California. The website you have arranged was therefore great fun to see - and brought back many fond memories to an "old" Norwegian exchange student to HHS (class of '71). I was in Hawthorne for one year through the American Field Service exchange program - and it was a fabulous year, thanks to the Workman family (with whom I stayed), good friends on and off campus and fine teachers at Hawthorne High (in particular Mr. Goodfellow, Mr. Orrell and Mr. Grahamer - but they came perhaps after your time?). My present work as Secretary General of the Conservative Party of Norway (Hoyre) is very internationally oriented, with frequent travels abroad and close cooperation with likeminded parties both in Europe and other parts of the world. Respect and understanding of other cultures and ways of thinking is a must in all such international cooperation. My stay at HHS taught me a lot about international understanding and gave me a better understanding of American culture and way of life (as well as being great fun!). I am forever grateful for what I received through the AFS experience, thanks to Hawthorne and Hawthorne High School. So, thank you again for your mail - and best wishes to you personally.
Sincerely, Eirik Moen

Other memories: Gillis Beach Party's, The Boston Store and Ryan's Men's Store on Hawthorne Blvd., what about the Hawthorne Fair at the Memorial Center every July? The Drop-In dances Friday nights with Casey Casem and the Turtles (1968 and 1969). Answer to question of week: The Plaza Theater was located on Hawthorne Circle?? (across the street from the old fire station).

He is alive, well, and riding his Harley around Manhattan Beach. It is true that he played Weaser on the Little Rascals.

The rumor that he was in the Little Rascals was still going strong back then too. As for its truth, I don't know. There were a few rumors about him floating around.....not sure if there was truth to any. I don't know if he is still teaching at HHS. Maybe someone from a more recent class could tell us. -- Delia

We've just started collecting Email addresses from classmates & I'll be sure to send them all a message about this site. Our class is a very active one. We have bi-yearly newsletters, a current address list of nearly 300 classmates, and a blow-out 3-day reunion every 5 years with occasional mini reunions in between. If you're looking for a lost friend or want more info, I'm the committee "secretary" and will share whatever I have.

Hopefully with time others I knew or had will show up {Bob Atkins, Gil Gaier, Cindy Crum, Mike Sloan, John Claypool--to name a few}. A memory I cherish is the music booths at Melody Music on Haw. Blvd. and that patient white-haired old fellow who used to fetch every 45 you asked for without the slightest wince! And what a treat to see Chips Restaurant again. My mother and I used to go there for hot chocolate every Sunday after mass at St. Joe's {if I was good!}. How about a photo of the ol' Hawthorne Water Tower? For awhile I used to live right under it on Truro. Great site! I'll be returning often. If anyone from 74-77 wants to get in touch, don't hesitate to e-mail.

I would like to know what happened to Ezra Dame (class of '66)+ lots of others.

This feedback from Ron Stowe (ronstowe@greenheart.com)

John, The moonie animation is cool. A true throw back to the good old days. We had a guy in highschool that could drive and moon people at the same time. He mooned the drill team's bus after a football game. One of the girl's parents threatened to sue him. All the other parents wanted to know how she knew it was him since all she saw was his ass. Malcom became a legend in his own time and was the original streaker before streaking was invented. Rumors said that he once swam nude under the glass bottom boat in Catalina.

This Feedback from Patt (Deckard) Prewitt (Class of 65).

My brother, Chris, said class of 67 Reunion is Aug 30th. He reminded me of our H.S. hang out. Art's Market (132nd and Inglewood Av) home of 20 cent tacos. Also Wich Stand had a 20 cent per person cover charge. I always had a Suicide which was about 25 cents. Thanks again, Patt

Editors Note: They must have added the 20 cent cover charge after we stopped going there. I would have noticed, since we were always trying to scrape up a dollar for cruising money.

Message = I'm amazed to read the feed back from Bob Rierdan with the names of teachers who I remember. I was not fortunate enough to have Ms. Mark as a teacher but I have friends who did and adored her. I believe she passed away during my 4 years at HHS (maybe in '85) and I know the school felt the loss. Chauncey is also a name I remember... I'm wondering how many other teachers we shared! I'm pretty sure Mr.Williams (Art class), Mr Lyles (math),and Ms. Baugh (history) had been teaching at HHS years before I entered the school... It's fun thinking back to that time... --Delia

This feedback from Brother Alumnus, Bob Rierdan Class of 61. He also said Mrs Mark was his favorite teacher.
He writes....

John, You've OUTDONE yourself... I never thought that I would see those teachers again. They all look surprisingly good. I knew Coach Chauncey from childhood because my older brother used to talk about him all the time when he had him in school, then of course he was my PE coach for about 9 years of high school. As I wrote before, Mrs. Mark was also one of my favorite teachers, but in all fairness John, I think you should add a line or two from my remembrance of her. (Trading grades etc.) By letting me make her a wrought iron address bracket for her house, in trade for a passing grade, she taught me (no kidding now) that there is always more than one way around a problem. That lesson has come in handy over the years! She was one of the few teachers that I had had who actually let the fact that she was really a human-being come through. Your site has been a real pleasure to find. I hope a lot of others from Hawthorne will find it, too. See you later, Bob

I'm sure the mid-west and the south-east all had their own. It was the Spirit of America.
