Message: If just one of the cafeteria service windows were to be included in the new senior square area, this would give seniors priority service, which would provide more meaning to the square. As far as honorarium bricks, it would be hard to decide who gets named for a specific year, as we all have different criteria of how we perceive what is important in life (sorry jocks). Maybe something as simple has how many graduated that year.

Message: Well I don't care if they need the money or not, I WANNA BUY BRICKS!!! And yes I want them laid in Senior (insert geometrical shape here.) I like the idea of bronze plaques, too. Great fundraiser and btw it ain't cheap to lay a 20x30 slab. (of concrete.)

Message: For the Senior Square I would use the proposed space on the far left. I would propose a sunken square with several levels of bench seating for the students. Perhaps a small stage for noon time performances. For the historical aspect of the project I would propose a teacher hall of fame brick purchase program where the proceeds went to the sports program.

Message: Regarding Senior Square and the history of HHS. I don't know how this would be done, but each graduating class has left their mark on HHS at one time or another, so maybe they could do something like: Class of 54, first graduating class, CIF Champs, Homecoming Queen-Dixie Petersen Principal-Wallace Nyman Notable graduates-?? President of the US - Eisenhower. Maybe have them engraved on plaques and have them on the bricks. I know I do not have anything right in my example, but that's why they call it an example. Basically fun facts and some history.

Message: I think the bricks on the new senior square could be bought by people wanting to, and their year put on the brick. CT could run a contest to see which year buys the most bricks. Winning year would get high honors for being the most generous or maybe a gold painted brick with their year. Something along those lines. It would be nice if senior square could be near where the old one was but of course not inside the cafeteria. Or maybe inside??? Its a strange idea but would be good for rainy days, lol

Message: The area next to the science building looks a little more open. Perhaps the "new" Senior Square can be a blend of history and today. There are probably some talented students that can design an area that suits today's students while adding a link to the past through paving stones, bricks, trees, etc.

Message: I'm with Dean. This page needed a little mixin' up and he's just the guy to do it! ; )) (Thanks Dean - me and Enza LOVE your humor!!) Besides, what he described was very accurate and I was thinking the same thing. No really! BTW, It's all well and good to want to "build" a new senior square but be careful since it may not end up being filled with all the warmth and feeling that we had as HHS students. I think it would be wise to test the temperature and feeling of the current students since it will be they who must build "new" tradition and respect for Senior Square/Zoid/Void/Quad. Has the new principal worked on getting a little "buy in" from the kids? And where ARE the bulding funds coming from?

Message: Looking out on the parcels facing the front of the cafeteria, I noticed none of the grassy parcels are squares anymore. Searching back through my notes from Mr. Plotkin's Geometry Class (not really!), it appears the most accurate description including most of the parcels are for a Quadrilateral or Quad for short. Hence the name, Senior Quad, must replace Senior Square. Although if you select the second parcel out on a NW Ray from the cafeteria, we have the option of a Senior Trapezoid or Senior Trap for short. Techies might prefer to name it the Senior 'Zoid (rhymes with void) which is what many students do with their time, simply fill a void of Time/Place/Purpose/Identity, etc. Of course, I like the Senior 'Zoid best because Senior Square is soooo twentieth century and in the era of avatar's we got to get a little more trendy.

Message: I think Senior Square should be where it use to be, beside Nyman Hall. I also think that it would be kind of neat to have some sort of symbol on a brick or something to represent each decade. I like Alans idea about purchasing a brick, didn't we do that with the Beach Boys? Why was the old senior square torn down in the first place? Maybe we can set up some sort of event, and proceeds go towards the new Senior Square?

Message: I agree with the location in front of Nyman Hall. In front of the new cafeteria would be my 2nd choice. How about CT and/or the Alumni Association proposing, and our members contributing to, an engraved brick project to raise funds for Senior Square and commemorate our years at HHS? I'd be first on the list to buy a brick.

It featured a veritable who’s who in rock and roll, at the time including Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, The Supremes, James Brown, Chuck Berry, a relatively unknown British group in their first concert appearance in America although they had taped a couple of TV shows), the Rolling Stones and Hawthorne’s own, Beach Boys. To see, video clips, check out Jerry Miles, Can I Get a Witness?

Message: Wine Country Weekend is getting a lot of attention! It looks like we're gonna have a great turnout, and plans are being made to keep us busy and entertained. I just realized that Sacramento airport would be another good airport to fly into. According to Mapquest it's 73 miles from Sacramento to Sonoma, and 56 miles from Oakland and San Francisco. So there you have three good choices- make sure you put Southwest "Ding" program on your computer and specials will pop up that you can take advantage of. You can always drive there too; sometimes it's just as much time to drive as fly, considering all the security and advance arrival times involved. So grab a few pals, figure out who's gonna carpool, and get on the list- the more Cougars, the merrier!

Message: Aw heck, Mr. Key, we'd not not only have come to see you in jail, we'd have protested and stormed the place to get you out, likely led by that rabblerousing Konnie Krislock! The Cougar Staff would have taken the case to the masses with headlines announcing the injustice to the world. The football team and the pep squad would have come prepared for battle and the band would have been playing our fight song. We'd have signs bearing messages of support for you and we'd have plead your case all the way to the Supreme Court -- for you, dear Jorge Llave, are beloved. And we always felt you'd have done nothing less for your students. ; )) I'm so glad to see you here and expect to see you on Cruise Night. Call if you could use a ride - Patty V5, Sister Sharon and I will come and get you! XOXO
