Re: The comment on Mrs. Mark. I remember hearing how tough she was. I ended up getting her the next year. She was truly one of the most fabulous teachers I ever had. Tough but fair - you knew exactly what you had to do. Remember those famous lines of hers:
"It boggles my mind..."
"If you expect to go to college..."
She would be pleased to know how much she is admired and a part of us who had her...
Hey Tim, She was simply the best English and Life teacher at HHS. Nothing fancy........just the truth. Anyone who had Ginger Mark got their moneys worth. You were correct Mrs. Mark.... There are NO FREE RIDES!! I think of you often and love you to this day.

Message: RE: The CougarTown.com T-Shirt Design
To Frank Romano in Vegas regarding what you can't see in the rear window of the woodie. (On the CT T-Shirt Design). It's an "Endless Summer" type sticker with a surfer holding a board on the top of his head backed by a rising sun. Under the sticker it says, "Hawaii" what else. The logo should make it onto the shirt through the process. It's readable on the original art.
Next, I'd like to thank John Baker for giving me this opportunity. It was a real thrill for me to create something that long ago was the starting point for my creative expression. (I hadn't done a T-Shirt design, in..oh well never mind, too long we'll say. The job also helped get me back into painting which I hadn't done in two years. And now, thanks to this T-Shirt design, I've been painting almost every night. (Oils and arcylic landscapes).
And finally, Mitch Irion, HHS class of 1973-74 (I think) and a long time friend who I have worked with for over twenty years, contributed the computer work which pulled the final piece of art together. I still don't understand how an E-Mail I sent Mitch of one hundred top 40 hits from 1955 to 1965 got put into perspective on that highway under the woodie. He also re-designed the "Cougartown".com logo on the surf board and designed the front which says, "Hawthorne High Alumni, be true to your school" along with the other slogan I can never remember this late at night. Anyway, thanks Mitch for making this shirt design possible.
A final note, I just hope my art teacher, Clayton Williams, room 10-1, sees the shirt design. He was always concerned if I would some day get a real job. Maybe now I can.
See you all Friday night on the 15th.
Alan Hauge
Thanks again Alan. Outstanding job and I personally love the art. You've still got it, and one of these days I want you to paint "17 again" on the side of the Cougartown Durango. I know I can get that done by any artist, but I want it done by Hawthorne's BEST. Your ARE the best Alan. Thanks for everything and be a Coug boy.

I've identified most everything in the artwork, but what's in the lower right hand corner of the woody's rear window. Can't make that out? Joyce the games sound like fun... I really liked the shouting in the "good ear." When my oldest was in Kindergarten, I got in trouble at the open house. There was a kids game called "Feel and Find OUT! Well you know I figured that would make a great adult game. I think I still have the scar on my shin bone from that outing. JB... The bread was given in love...you should enjoy it with breakfast. Break it up, dip it in egg, and fry like french toast. Don't put any sweet stuff on it... Serve with any color SOS.

Thank you for this forum through which I have heard from many former students -some on feedback, but most through direct email. The thought occured to me (I have one every once in a great while) that some of the many names I recognize on the alumni list might think I don't remember them. Several emails I have received start out..."You probably don't remember me ... The truth is that I remember more than 90% of my former students and many who went to Dana and were not in one of my classes. Please don't let that possibility prevent you from letting me hear from and about you. You had better hurry though because next month it might be only 80%. Thanks again John. Love to all, HCH
Harry, Yes I think the artwork looks REAL California all right. Thanks and we'll see you at the game.

I'd even be willing to pay a couple of bucks extra if the proceeds would go to a worthy cause (Like CT)! Maybe we need a Cougartown Bookstore to purchase HHS memorabilia. (The $$$ flashing in yer head yet, John!)
Alan, The proceeds are going to Cougartown, BUT I was thinking along the lines of a scholarship fund for a middle of the road HHS student. You know, the AVERAGE student that needs that extra help. We'll talk about that one a little later. Eventually there will be more items to add to our little Cougartown store, to help fund this scholarship project.

I had to be in L.A. for a couple of days and we got together, along with his brother and my two sisters, Theresa and Rhonda and had the best time just talking of the "good old" days! Went to Manhattan Beach Pier, haven't seen it for 25 years, got to talking so much, lost track of time. My sister was going to end up with a $300.00 ticket for parking in a handicap parking space, forgot to put my sticker up, and the guys ended up with tickets too (and were almost locked in the parking lot!) We were however able to talk our way out of the $300.00 one. What a wonderful thing you have done John putting this together. I never thought I would hear or see these friends, who meant so much to me, again. I know I've told you thanks a million times, but again thanks. I don't see much feedback from class of 72, where is everyone?
Debbie, Sorry about the tickets, but I know when you get reconnected with your old friends, time just does not exist. Thanks for the story too. I just love it when people are reunited because of Cougartown.

Message: I'm glad Frank Romano mentioned how fast the feedback pages seem to be filling up. At this rate there'll be another cruise night in December. However, if everyone really slows it down (kinda like, until March or April, you could all bring the Crusin' Machines on a "wine country road trip" for a re-enactment of American Graffiti in "bodacious" Petaluma, where many of the original scenes for that epic movie were filmed.
My favorite shower stall remembrance was when after "mud-drills" (lotsa rain, lotsa mud, lotsa football players under instruction to get out there and slide around on their belllies), the varsity football team came in after practice and decided to plug the shower drains and continue their sliding practice. Only problem, if I remember correctly, was that a number of them came up with what resembled "athlete's foot" fungus on their chests and abdomens. Nothing that a little Tinactin or Desenex wouldn't cure.
Hope to see you all up here in "God's country" in the spring or summer. Watch for details, after the Inglewood crowd goes home with their head-dresses between their legs.
Hey Glenn, I think we'll plan another Cruise night for February. Everyone had a great time at the last one.
The wine country road trip will be the next big one event though. If you want to participate in this one, stay tuned as Janet Humphreys Burkett and Glenn Crist will head this one up. It will be a great excuse to see our friends from Northern and Central CA and Oregon too.
