(Hey, and I remember when Joseph Mailander celebrated the Class of '75 by what he did on the ROOF of Nyman Hall late one night. But you can't keep on doing that kind of stuff once you reach middle age. So a chair must suffice. Good thing the Hawthorne police weren't on campus THAT particular evening.)
Yes Joe, the S of L has run out on that one.......please explain, won't you.........Thanks Ted

It kind of reminds you of how we really felt and how neat it was to grow up in that "era", although many of us have refused to accept that "grownup" syndrone. But what a great perception of how, maybe not, that we haven't accepted the fact that we're getting old. Although, it's almost 9:30 here and We're getting quite tired, but that shouldn't be a factor in this equation. Right? John, theres so much more to be found on this site other than feedback, but darn We're tired. Talk to you later. By the way Royal, we hope you're on the mend and "feelin fine". Sloey, Hello!

Message: Attention Class of '75--I know you're not hurting. I see you at Patina all the time. I see you at Chez Panisse whenever I'm up there. Some of you are even working at respectable positions for companies with the market caps well beyond the total GDPs of five continents. But despite all this overbloated and undeserved midlife achievement, how much has the Class of '75 contributed to a seat in Nyman Hall? A scant $60! And the bulk of it I had to borrow from my girlfriend. Come on, '75, where are you? It's going to be uncomfortable enough in there for some poor kid, watching those violent Driver's Ed movies--if he has to sit in some ROTTEN UNCOVERED CHAIR thanks to the class of '75, the experience will just be all the more harrowing. He might even decide to skip State Requirements and turn into a Youth At Risk, and inflict pain on society, all because you couldn't cough up $10 for a chair. You people of '75 have deep pockets for the honoring of teachers, and I can definitely respect that. (Well, with one exception--but I understand that Krislock will immensely benefit from a freshly covered seat of her own as she looks for a place to sit down when she takes the time to return to Hawthorne next year to change my grade in Journalism from C- to C.) But is anyone interested in honoring our CLASS OF '75--the class that beat top ranked Loyola in CIF football playoffs, the class that produced Cal Tech and Stanford grads (and Cal Tech and Stanford groupies), the class that will celebrate its Silver Anniversary in the year 2000? Only $40 to go. Clear up this unfinished business.
I agree. We're getting down to the end of the restoration of Nyman Hall. We need your support on the seats still available, above. Please Class of 75 people and others, if you want to contribute 10 dollars to a seat, email me and I will explain how you go about it. It's very simple. Thanks to all of Cougartown for your help in the restoration of our sacred hall.

Message: Well, well, well....I guess being a Rowdy is definitely 'out' for me. I drink gourmet coffee, I even go so far as to grind my own beans. And nothing, I mean nothing could get me to give it up. There are other things that would disqualify me also....I do entrees. What can I say, I like to eat, and going out is too expensive...so I learned to cook. I have mastered the finer art of the micro though, I have surpassed the cherished 'nuked' potatoe, I cook my meatloaf in it, ketchup and all. Although I have used the mens restroom, I always use the toidy, never the urinal....ewwww, and as far as using it as a foot bath? EXCUUUUSE ME, I DON'T THINK SO! yuk! And if I were to use the sink, knowing my luck, I would be the one to pull it out of the wall! But...I do use my 'foot' to flush, that should count for something. I have done other 'ewwww' things though...such as catching puke, that erupted from my son, with one hand while driving with the other, to save the interior of the car, and on more than one occasion I might add. I have also reached into an overflowing toilet to unclog it, when it wasn't empty. To save the bathroom floor/carpet, of course. And I have used my 'foot' as a plunger when the plunger wasn't handy. I have also fished half chewed bugs from my sons mouth. Now how's that for eewwww? I could also toot my own horn and say that I saved our house and neighborhood from my 3 year old son. I relieved him of the 'banger' (hammer), that he was using to fix our gas meter. So....when all is said and done, I guess I don't really qualify as a Rowdy....just a wonder woman! ") hehe

Besides being a major playtoy at Halloween (used in the same manner as the egg..)it is a major ingredient of Grenadine (with which I am sure there is at least one or two Cougs are acquainted. [Mom and Dad would make us pick all the pomegranates before Halloween, just to save on the mess "other" kids would make.] That being the case, neither have anything to do with the reason I use them. If you have never had Pomegranate jelly, you do not know what you are missing. The best jelly in the world. I also have a couple of great salad recipes that use the seeds - they are not more trouble than they are worth. Hey Queen Judy - am I rousting myself out of the Rowdy's because of my Martha Stewart actions in the kitchen???

Message: Yes Judy I do remember the story about the sink at the old Texaco station on the corner of El Segundo Blvd. and Inglewood Ave. being used as a toilet. If I remember to story correctly, on Friday nights a car full of 15 and 16 years old Coug girls would fly into the station, car doors would fly open and about six girls would run to the restroom (all having "to go") and try to be the first to the one single toilet. Well, if you were not the first, you had to get creative because it could be a long wait for six girls. Can you imagine being small enough to jump up on the sink without pulling it out of the wall? Anyway, I don't know who it was that used the sink??? I will have to check with my ole buds Marsha and Cody Soares, Barbara Norris, Sandy Peppers and Virginia Maillard and see if they remember. I know it could not have been me, I would never doing anythin that crass. Hi to you too Sloey..miss you and Debbie and hope to see you soon. Johnny boy I miss you.
Now see if it was six guys, we'd get 3 around the urinal and 3 around the toilet and "play swords".I miss you too Marsha. Be a Rowdy Girl, girl.

Message: My my my Judy.... that is some criteria to become a ROWDY. Just to clear up some possible loop holes. The sinks that are used as toilets? Is there a requirement as to which restroom they would have to be located in? Not that any male cougars would take offense to such an emergency action in their restroom. Urinals for foot baths! Okay, so let us not be bellyaching about wet bathroom floors ever again. Oh yeah, warm foot baths could be a clever marketing tool, while also eliminating the one foot balancing problem. One bowl Entree's. Simple! Question? Is that one bowl to prepare, serve, and feed from or all three? If that's served at a dinner function, is it permitted to give each guest their own spoon? The bed and breakfast... You are assured that with the one bowl meals, that the bed will fill faster than the table. Instant coffee. Hell if you'll wash your feet in a urinal, drinking instant coffee is a snap. But just where do you get the warm water from? 10 Pinks Chili Cheese dogs. My cardiologist will take crawl in's on the second Tuesday of each month. That's how I meet him. The Seven Course Meal.... Be careful. Don't pull the dividers out of that one bowl until that blender is really ready to whir.... Sounds to me like your surgery was a success. Glad to see you back on line...

Message: Hail Queen Judy & King John,
Your requirements for becoming a Rowdy aren't so bad, I've seen worse trying to get accepted to a frat house....however, just so you don't mistakenly deny membership to a worthy applicant, would the following deviations from your list be acceptable?
1. Instead of peeing in a sink, I once peed in a ticket booth (unattended of course) at a race track.
2. I never cook entrees, just finger foods (but I did nuke a box of Stouffer's which had the word entree' on it, does that disqualify me?)
3. My house is always open for bed and breakfast oops, I mean 'as' a bed & breakfast. I make a killer French toast souffle.
4. I just love instant coffee! I like to sip it just before all those granules are dissolved. Yum.
5. Does two 5-inch chili cheese dogs from Der Weiner count? Get me the Pepto.
6. 7 course meal, no problem. In keeping with rule #2, I'll be serving 4 courses of finger foods and 3 courses of desserts.
So what do you think? Let me know, I await your Royal decision. Can't wait to meet all of you.
When is the next get-together??????? I want to schedule my 7 course 'night of delight' when Shy Robin strolls back to town. Bye 'yal.
Hey Norma, I'll put in a good word for you as I think you are GREAT Rowdy material. In fact, you just may have given the Rowdys some new "Lows" to shoot for. Not too sure when, but I think we'll have another cruise night about February, Then it's the Wine Tasting Weekend in wine country USA. More on that one as it develops. Thanks Norma......

Jim, I think YOU just volunteered for HHS ALL Class Reunion Committee President. Yes, do not wait for someone ELSE to get your class together. Get your class in gear and get it started early. Actually half the fun of a reunion is planning it, so do not delay. Sherrie, even though your reunion is over a year away, you are correct in reaching out to classmates now. The class of 66 didn't have a 30 year reunion, but they've got a good nucleus right here on the alumni list, so Dave, or Jim, do not wait for someone else to pick up the ball.
