Message: Attention Class of 1988! We never had a ten-year reunion, so we're getting together informally the weekend of October 15th-16th. We'll meet at the Homecoming game on the 15th, and anyone who wants to, can go out afterwards. On Saturday, October 16th, there is a picnic at El Segundo park, beginning at 11 a.m. Bring food to share, family, sports equipment, and look for the banner that says "Class of 88"! Be sure to tell everyone you keep in contact with about this informal reunion, and RSPV and/or get directions to the park on the feedback page for Cougartown.com
Yes 88ers, you're all invited to the Game (which you would be anyway) and to the aftergame party and picnic. Please sign in under Homecoming game above, so we know how many extra seats to save at the game. Thanks Melissa.....

Mr. Key... I have a problem, I have a textbook I borrowed? forgot to return? kept as a memento? what's the overdue fines for 25 years? the inner jacket says the book is worth $4 Can I keep it? It's the book "Poetry with Pleasure" prepared by Mr. Kirkpatrick & Mr. Goodfellow. I don't think I want to part with it.

Phoebe is the Mom of HHS '55's Bill Cooper, still teaching at Mira Costa in Manhattan Bch. Talked alot about having the teachers and coaches act in Varsity Follies - anybody else remember those? The faculty would all dress up, sing, dance, get crazy? Hope some of 'em come to Homecoming in those old Can-Can costumes!!!
Becky, I know that the Wacky Cake (Mrs Plaster/Cooper) and the Heavenly Cake (Mrs. Groseclose) were different. I didn't know that wasn't clear. If you can send her recipe and I know there are lots of Wacky Cake recipes, but HER recipe, I'll put it on the site too. Thanks Becky and tell Phoebe Cooper that we early Cougs still love her.

It's a cheap way to feed 4 growing kids, and how many sisters get to see they brothers slaving over a stove. It is good entertainment! I go to Calvary Presbyterian Church, Fred Morgan now lives in Santa Maria, if you call the church office (310) 676-1144 and ask Josie I am sure she will give you his number. See everyone next month. So is it settled we will all sing the Alma Mater at the game?
Hi Pam, Your mom was my date at the VFW last weekend. I hadn't talked to her since 1962. She looks great. I told my mom about it, and I think she'll be there next time....we'll see.

WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING!. It was when I was in the military and parked near an active construction site. They were running all kinds of heavy, NOISEY, equipment and I threw the 'mareo' in park to finish listening to 'Another One Bites The Dust!' Quite a snappy little tune, don't ya' think? When it was over I just got out and locked the door. I went a little ways up the flight line when I realized I did not have my BIG A__ key chain in my pocket. I went back to my car to check, that in fact I did lock them in, when I discovered....to my horror!...the ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING!. Even then I could barely hear it for all the heavy equipment running at full throttle! Is that typical, or what?!
CAN ANYONE TOP THAT?! ")
No, I don't think that's typical Christine, and no, I'm sure NO ONE can top that one. Therefore, it looks like you get the "First Annual Cougartown Peroxide of the Month" Award. No Christine, the award has NOTHING to do with Surfers.
