1. Drive to Safeway
2. Go to freezer section
3. Remove Sarah Lee Cheesecake from freezer
4. Pay Cashier
5. Drive home
6. Thaw
7. Eat in front of Sunday afternoon football game.(Like how I weaseled the sports angle in there?)
There you have it. It's not often that I disclose these old family recipes, but since we're all (well most of us, anyway) cheesecake junkies, I figured I'd make an exception.

NEW SUBJECT: The ROWDYS have a function in the works for next summer.. How about a "PROM NITE~2001. I'd like to hear how many think it would be a gas to dress up, dance close to that special person..and enjoy going to the prom again one more time/or perhaps for the first time. (this time with brains) We'll get Coach Hal and Cathy Chauncey and Mr. Plotkin and Cathy Brooks to chaperone. I also need to hear about a theme. I'm partial to Tommy Edwards, so my vote goes to "THE MORNING SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN" but I'm flexable..(don't go there John) If we hear enough good vibes, we'll start getting something together.. can you spare an evening for a COUGARTOWN PROM.. or would you rather stay home & bake cheesecake?? It's up to you. Oh ya, no cheesecake allowed at this prom.
Judy Wudy. THE ROWDYS
OK Folks Prom Night is going to happen. It's going to be the middle of next year, so make plans to be there and just try and sneak a half pint of Southern Comfort past the Coach and see how many push ups you'll have to do (and you thought they were hard to do in High School). It will be a blast and actually how many more Proms were you planning on going to anyway. Last Chance Prom Night......Be There.

I remember a band Christmas Party at Peggy Anderson's house. You arrived, in a very old, dark colored car that gave me goose bumps. To my wonderful surprise, you took me (and a wayward group of "band bods") for a ride in your fabulous Jenson-Mobil.
I will never forget that night because it was the first time that a "Senior" treated me like a real person (instead of the invisible flautist) and it was the first time I ever road in a car with running boards. Thank you for making my year and my question is, what was that car?
She's hoping it was a 36 Chevy.

Message: Speaking of cool teachers and cool cars....In 1973-74, my 6th grade teacher at York was Sandra Schaller--a six-foot blonde who cared a great deal about her students. Among many other special treats, every few weeks Mrs. Schaller selected two or three students for a trip to the main library, next to City Hall, to help select books for recreational reading time (what a concept!). Anyway, the highlights of the trip were that (i) you took the trip in her fire engine red, classic Jaguar coupe, and (ii) you were treated to ice cream at Foster's on the way back to York. For some reason that stands out as one of the better things about life at York (besides the brilliant concept of fold-down tables and benches in the "Cafetorium").

Now, on to hot looking teachers....I remember you guys talking about your teacher in the 60's who taught Russian (or was it that she WAS Russian), Not only was Karna admired for her car, I know many a guy who took her ceramics class fell hard for her! She was a cutie, too, blond hair, blue eyes and didn't look a whole lot older than we were, and she was such a cool and sweet lady,too. Cheryl Carr, ( who later turned out to be the coach's wife) was another one who guys would come to watch as us girls in dance class did our thing ( O.K. they were there to see ALL of us, I guess, in our danskins!) But Cheryl is another very pretty lady, too.
As for us girls in the 70's at HHS, it was good ol' Mr. Pat Macha! What a cutie, and a great sense of humor! I had him for Africa studies or as he liked to call it "Welcome to A-freek-a class!" Good ol' Pat Macha! Wonder if he's still a cutie pie today. Hey, we gals had to have a cutie or two to make us more interested in certain subjects, too! Equal opportunity lookers, I always say!
