My vote goes to the creative lug who came up with "From Intellects to Derelicts". Great capsule of HHS Alum.
Good to hear from Bill Cusac. At least he's alive, which can't be said for (or by) his former classmate Andrea Malfi. I hope to be the only one at my classes reunion in 2066. (Though I'm sure that Robin Hood will be parking my car (and stealing the hubcaps) at that gig. Hopefully I will have that 54 Chevy restored by then.
The 1959 CIF Championship game. What a flashback. I thought Brian Wilson was on that team? Backup QB? confirm /
Memories of the game at the Colosseum vs Long Beach Poly : Willie Brown of Poly ran back the opening kick-off for a TD. Jim Reale countered? then what? (Now the long term circuits are sparking) any one ???
The group, Bare Naked Ladies, do a song about Brian Wilson if anyone is seeking new music. Is anyone?
On that line-up card -- A. Jardine listed at 165? Coach Chauncey would use that weight as a universal number to intimidate the opposition. Any one weighing in at less that 150 was listed as 165. (except the cheerleaders -- whose weight was usually never revealed -- unless you lived with one -- which I did(?))
But I digress -- continually.
The pictures from Fosters really twiked the memory bank. Does any one recall the two youthful lads who 'streaked' Hawthorne Blvd from Fosters to the used car lot across the Blvd and then back? (Sloey wasn't one of them-- though it might be fun to have him try it now)
"From Intellects to Derelicts"
Lastly, Karen Hare, I stand by the angel comment -- but that was 1966. Are you still the divine sprite you once were? I'm sure you R.
OUT ----- Schroeder
JB (yet another one), you are climbing to the top of the Feedback "wit ladder" and tugging at the pantlegs of our own Robin Hood. Thanks for it all.

Message: Having taken Dr. Jerry Baxter's English class for two semesters, and suffered through endless vocabulary tests (thanks Jerry I withdraw all my earlier condemnation that I had spoken about your teaching prowess) it is worthy indeed to understand the words utilized in a sentence structure but also the intended meaning or obvious meaning from either custom, habits, innuendo etc. Although I do agree with your assesment in most instances Kingster, I disagree with your literal interpretation of Mr. Mailander's last attempt at humoring us all with his, as Ingrid Larsen termed it, pleonastic erudition. My interpretation is correct in that he has eliminated the likes of Beulah, (after all she may be the class of our generation Joe and probably carries the torch that most women in our society would subscribe) and eliminated "the cognomen we might more likely attribute to a demimonde" eliminating, I would assume, what may be left of the female population except the Debutante. Now John your interpretation is fine as far as it goes, however, do you know anyone, or even heard of anyone who would wish to hang (Ingrid it is no longer What's up, the new version is 'sup') with someone or something that would refer to itself as a Debutante rightfully or otherwise. No, Joe does not, pursuant to his own statement hang out with women. T Shirt please.

Message: This could be going really crazy with the T-Shirt idea, but we should have T-Shirts for the spouses that did not go to HHS. Their slogan could be "Unforunately I am not a Cougar, but at least I married one" My husband graduated from Aviation in 76, but he spent 77 and 78 at Hawthorne hanging around me. On certain days he would come and have lunch with me, he would stand in the lunch line like he went there. (OOOPs am I going to get in trouble? Outside people were not allowed in the cafe.) He helped Mrs. Courtney at football games to keep everyone out of the drill team section. He was the only guy she would let ride on the drill team bus when we went to parades. So I really think that he is an honorary cougar.
Pam, So what you're saying is, he wanted to be a Cougar SOOO BAD that he'd ditch school at Aviation to hang out with the elite at HHS. Guess he knew, even back then, that Aviation was sinking into the Pacific. We'll see what we can do for the spouses.

Message: John,
I was looking over some old email and the reunion page and found information on the class of 1979 reunion at "The House of Blues on Sunset Bl.". That was the same day as the Fosters party. I have seen the photos of the Fosters party but what has happened to the 1979 reunion? I haven't seen or read much about the reunion. Can we get the Royal Flogger to apply a little pressure to get some photos sent into Cougartown.com (John Baker, PO Box1406, Lomita, CA 90717)? Also I am getting a little mixed up on all of the royal names. Now if I understand correctly the Royal Lord came first then the king? I thought the "royal baker" was King Baker; maybe you could change the name to the "royal culinary ". You would need to check out other creations by the chosen one and I am sure that you could find a lot of candidates for the royal taster. Going back about four or five pages I saw something about Leeroy's cow-a-sock-e "rice rocket". Leeroy does that thing use solid or liquid fuel? Does it produce solid waste? V1 see what you get when you make suggestions about T-shirts. Now you have a job that may not end for some time. I agree with Patty and will vote for Joyce Savisky's slogan "Let friendships begun stay true till the end" Cougartown.com. We could always start with something like "cougartown.com's first annual homecoming party". Who knows it may even be the last if we get too rowdy! Looking forward to seeing everyone on October 15, 1999.
Hey Chris, Glad you checked in. The class of 78 and 79 reunions are being assembled as we speak. I'm waiting for something on the 79 reunion. I forget what it is now, but I think it's more pictures from Janet Falkenstein. I'm sorry, but here in Cougartown, King John comes before Royal Lord.Myrna, you are now the Royal Flogger again. One cake does not make you a "Baker". Chris, Voting comes later. I am assembling the Slogans page, even as we speak. Be patient and I will correct all of these problems. Thanks Chris for being out there. Now please pick out a title for yourself, as I am very busy doing "Kingy" things right now.
