I plan to bake the Cake, but double recipe on Monday! Going away for the weekend. Will bake Monday morning and spend the inbetweens for catching up on Feedback - I've never been away from it for a whole weekend. I'm hoping our hosts might let me log on up there. . .
Everybody, the slogans are great!

Betty, I would suggest staying away only one day, the first time. You might go through some kind of Super withdrawals otherwise.

Just for everyone's info - I mailed it at 2pm yesterday from the Coalinga post office, plain, first class, priority mail. P.S. I keep forgetting to tell you that I sent my C note prior to the memorials being started - guess it'll just be generic.
I received it about 10:30 this morning. Pretty good service for the USPS I'd say. Thank you Myrna. It WAS great!!
Not sure what you mean about the C note. Where did you send it and was it for a seat in Nyman Hall?? Myrna, email me with the particulars. Thanks

Message: John, the t-shirt idea is great. But every great t-shirt requires a great slogan. All of us need to suggest some appropriate slogans for the Cougartown t shirt. (Except for Joe Mailander -- not enough room on the shirt for sesquipedalian slogans).
Here are some starters:

"Be true to your school - and to its alumni website."
"I paid my dues at COUGARTOWN.COM"
"If the Beach Boys surfed the web instead of the waves, they would have written songs about COUGARTOWN.COM"
"Cougartown.com - where it's always 1962."
"Surf's up round the clock at COUGARTOWN.COM."
"Turn in your diploma, and go back to high school at COUGARTOWN"
"If there were a CIF championship for web sites, COUGARTOWN.COM would always be the winner"
"Let's go web surfing now, everybody's learnin' how, come to COUGARTOWN.COM with me"
Let's here some other candidates.
Ted, That's a GREAT idea. Let's get everyone into this. Ricki, Are you listening??
Thanks Ted, for getting us started. Yes, and we EVEN need "Mailanderisms". Give us your best Joseph. Robin and Sloman, your 15 minutes of fame awaits. V5&V6, are you ready for the challenge?? "T and B" girls. Anyone else???

You're not old UNLESS you can remember:
Being sent to the drugstore to test vacuum tubes for the TV.
When Kool-Aid was the only other drink for kids, other than milk and sodas.
When there were two types of sneakers for boys.
When boys couldn't wear anything but leather shoes to school.
When it took five minutes for the TV to warm up.
When all your friends got their hair cut at the kitchen table.
When nearly everyone's mom was at home when the kids got there.
When nobody owned a pure-bred dog.
When a dime was a decent allowance, and a quarter a huge bonus.
When you'd reach into a muddy gutter for a penny.
When girls neither dated nor kissed until late high school (except the "Rowdy Girls"), if then.
When your mom wore nylons that came in two pieces.
When all your teachers wore either nackties or had their hair done, everyday.
When you got your windshield cleaned, oil checked, and gas pumped, without asking, for free, every time. And you got trading stamps to boot!
When laundry detergent had free glasses, dishes or towels hidden inside the box.
When any parent could discipline any kid, or feed him, or use him to carry groceries, and nobody, not even the kid, thought a thing of it.
When it was considered a great privilege to be taken out to dinner at a real restaurant with your parents.
When they threatened to keep kids back a grade if they failed...and did!
When being sent to the principals's office was nothing compared to the fate that awaited a misbehaving student at home.
When women were called, "Mrs. John Smith." instead of their own name.

Message: Mandy Martes,
I did a little research and found Jill Barnett's address. I sent her an email and this is her reply.
"Dear Chris,
We went to South Torrance High. Chris graduated in 1966 and I graduated in 1967. We both lived in the Hollywood Riviera area of Torrance/Redondo Beach. (I lived on Calle Mayor) Yes, we cruised Hawthorne Blvd and the A & W, and on rare occasions, The Wich Stand. I spent most of my summers at second Street in Hermosa Beach. Chris was a surfer and at South you could play football AND surf so we had a sucko football team, but no one cared. We had so much fun.
Chris was a member of the INJECTORS, out of PV and he had numerous 57 Chevies, two of which he raced at Lions Drag Strip. I remember once I was with two of my girlfiends and we were cruising Hawthorne Blvd and Jayne, who was driving her 56 Chevy, thought she saw her boyfriend with another girl. She whipped through the median lane (Remember that? Where everyone would park and BS?) anyway, she raced after him. My other friend was riding shotgun and I was in the back seat. Jayne was speed shifting so fast that the bottom section of back seat slid forward and I fell into the trunk. Anne (the shotgun rider ) was half over the front seat, grabbing my hand and saying, "I always knew I would die in Jayne's car!"
Anyway, it was good to see your site. Wish South High had one. I'll have to check and see. I tried to find the post, but went back until; July 28 and gave up. My husband was a wonderful man. I miss him terribly. He was part of my life for 30 years.
He would have gotten a kick out of the postings on your site. Thank you and you are welcome to post this.
My sincerest thanks,
Jill Barnett. Also, but don't post this, my private email address is "XXX@yyy.zzz". You are welcome to email me there. This email through the website is so slow and I don't visit here regularly.
JBS"
Hey Chris, What A Job !!! I was really stretched on this one. Somehow, I too, had to know more. Thank you Chris and Mandy. The "tribute" WAS the 60's, as I recall it.

Robin and I never dated Polly when we were in high school so we are trying to catch up Joe. And I bet Leroy has sores on his head from all the scratching he did when he read your message. Royal Lord what a great guy. And as for G. Steven Andersen, the pear shaped quarterback as he referred to himself, he is alive and well. He is a city councilman (NOT PERSON) in Hawthorne, and this fall he is running for Mayor (it is now an elected office) practices law in Manhattan Beach, Ca.

Message: Wanted to share pics of two priceless reunions of friends. Yesterday, Barbara Norris Westrope, Pam Duncan Earnhardt, Marsha Russell, Marsha Soares West and myself had the most wonderful time together in Del Mar. Barb, Marsha R. and I were only recently reunited, and none of us had seen Pam or Marsha S-W in over twenty years. We laughed, danced, sang and shared all day long. Today Barbara and I had lunch and laughs with my best friend since 7th grade Les Johnson. I lost touch with him eighteen years ago. I found him through Cougartown. My appreciation for all you have done and all you are doing is heartfelt John Baker. And Royal Lord, what a precious memory you and your family are to me. Please say a sweet hello to Dennis for me. Does anyone have a number and/or address for Hessie McKnight or Valerie Davis Thomas?
Hi Sandy, These are my favorite stories. The reuniting of old friends is one of lifes most joyous occasions. As I am writing this, the time is 6:45am and this happy story is just what I need to start the day. OH, and sooner, rather than later, Hessie and Valerie will be back where they belong; estranged no longer from their circle. Thanks Sandy for sharing your story.

So where are you, if I may be so bold. It amuses me that so many students from the class of '61 went into the field of education. It gives me a little hope. There is so much negativity about the schools of today. I'm not convinced that it's only the schools that are at fault. Anyway, don't get me started. It's great to see your name in Cougartown. I used to coach at Eucalyptus Park too. I drove by there a few weeks ago. The place has changed. The fences were depressing, but it was nice to see that Eucalyptus is a California Distinguished school.

I thought that I, and JAMES WEST, not the TV guy, would die, being the only 59 CIF'ERS out here in COUGARLAND! but when the going gets rough, PRAY TO THE LORD! Hey Royal, good to hear you're still alive and kicking. Do you know of the whereabouts of Steve Andersen? And is he still with us? Give us a shout and tell us about your favorite moment in our "championship season". Our actual (JUDI KIESTER, AKA IDAHO QUEEN AND MYSELF) e-mail address is on the "alumni list". Good to hear from you Royal! Mr Plotkin... My writing skills? What are those? If there's anything there, it would be attributed to Mrs Ginger Mark! But, I feel that i'm being set up. But as JB and I discussed a little earlier, she was one of the "greatest". And by the way, THE QUEEN does remember "room number 9". But no she doesn't remember the lesson. She was in love with JAMES West at the time. Silly girl.
