Message: I went to HHS my freshman and sophmore years and then we moved to Hutchinson, Kansas. I never felt a part of Hutch High, always wish I would have graduated from Hawthorne High, which is the school I considered "my school".
Well Jo Ann, consider yourself a Cougartowner now girl. Please add yourself to the alumni list as you only had to ATTEND HHS to do so. Please add the year you would have graduated. Thanks for showing up and sorry about that Hutch High thing although I guess that too was HHS.

Message: Yes, it's true that I've made a solemn vow to mention "PROM NITE" in all my feedbacks to keep the ball rolling.. but I swear that I'm not RAMMA LAMMA DING DONG. And let me say this about that~~~ Ramma-you won't be at PROM NITE at all if you don't buy your ticket first. I see you filling your dance card with Bob Jensen and Walter Holt.. but you'll be just another lonely gal on in the lobby at the Marriott if you don't pay up... (boy, this ain't easy) Hey Bob Jensen.. so you hang out at the Bev. Hilton.. well, guess who has her ice cream in that hotel.. Yep, ol' "venus nipples" herself.. only I charge them and Merv Griffin too.. his only hit was "I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts" (don't go there John) and so we make Coconut Cream gelato for them..(but you get yours free) how's that for paths crossing...
I'm still waiting for your money Ramma..
Tilly Noodleman.. on a quest!!

That's right Ding Dong sisters. Get your money in and thank your lucky buffalo hoof we're not charging by the ton.

Message: Oh my gosh, I was going to wear my multi-color sequen gown for prom night, but I've changed my mind since it appears that Ramma Lamma is planning on wearing the same dress. Guess I'll have to dig out that old poodle skirt and angora sweater. I hope Omar isn't too busy to alter them.
Everyone have a happy and safe New Year's. This year has been so much fun with all the events Cougartown has been putting on. It's probably been one of the best years since before graduation. Thanks John. I'M REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO PROM NIGHT. My date and I have been taking dance lessons so watch out, we're going to tear up our 12 square inches.

Thanks Sharon, No one's had more fun than me. I will get Janet to help me with a few dance steps before Prom Night so I don't maim her to badly. Maybe I should just stick to the Twist. See you there.

I can make out most of what you say cuz Momma Lamma was raised in that neck a the woods, but YOUR accent is so danged thick, sometimes I have to skip 2 or 3 words. GEEZ! Get a dickshunary!
Back to you Walter Honey!!! Tell us it isn't so! You ain't goin' nowhere, are ya? I'mma countin' on that first dance (Yamma Lamma, the trim one); I'mma countin' on the second dance (Ramma Lamma, the BIG one); I'mma gonna make sure you're a nice boy to BOTH my girls (Momma, the BOSS one)! Didn't Jake mention something about a threesome ... maybe you can work something like that out on the dance floor, special for my girls, whaddayasay? And a Happy New Year to you too Walter Honey!!! CANNOT WAIT FOR PROM NITE 2001!!! eeeuwwww!

3 Walri and Walter in one square foot of dance floor??!! I don't have to go back to HHS and Mr. Wade's math class to know the pressure and heat generated from that event would be enough to melt a polar icecap. Sorry ladies, but if the Ding Dong sisters and Momma are coming to Prom Night, you're going to have to spread out......

Now that that's cleared up, UCLA is still going to the TIDY BOWL! sc is still in the TOILET BOWL! But how can you say to Frank Romano that just because you're and Atheist that you have no one to talk to during sex? Whatever happened to the 3 some? Only kidding COUG'S!!! Just a little humor to kick start your New Years. I will be sitting in my big chair recovering from "gall bladder surgery" (yes they work on saturdays up here) on the 30th! And you all thought I was kidding about "a heart attack", JJ, an "auto accident", JJ, and my surgery! Hey, makes no diff. Life goes on and we're pretty tough, but probably not as tough as Frank Romano! Go Bud! But, whatever happened to all the Fowl and Rodents comments? Seems they slipped into the woods. Lyman's Dawg's are going to prevail. HEY...SLOEY... Do you take on accident case's? I would really like to know. You COUGS be cool. Happy New Year to All! MAY THE COUGAR BE WITH YOU! JAKE N JUDE!

I figured if I didn't settle this, you'd bring Mamma Lamma in on this and then we'd have to fight her for Walter Baby, too! Better this way, don't you think Yamma? I better go start getting ready for this reunion thing so I can lose a couple pounds and get into that multi-colored sequined tent dress I bought for Mamma Lamma's last wedding. Dooo Waaa! shibop shibop. OW!
A couple POUNDS??!!! A Water Buffalo should lose a couple pounds to get into your Mommas dress.

You and I will draw straws for the first dance and then we will let Walter Honey know who the lucky girl is. And yes Walter Honey, I do still have my high school figure ... one of the lucky ones I guess. Oh never mind that I have a roadmap for a face ... my hair is the most beautiful white you've ever seen ... it's more like SILVER as in SILVER FOX! My sister, the baby whale, on the other hand does have a wrinkless face but her body of RIPPLES makes up for it! Also her lack of personality! Now dear sweet boy ... keep in mind, I spoke for you first. Oh come on August 18, 2001! I can't wait!
Hey Walter, remember the story of Jonah? The way it sounds maybe, instead of a safety pin for their corsages, a harpoon would work much better.

She can't dance for beans! And it was you and I who danced cheek to cheek on that 12 sq inches of floor to BM ... BLUE MOON, THAT IS!!! NOT Yamma and you!!! Can't believe you could mistake her for me! oh well. I will have to say, Yamma's body looks good (for her age!) but gawd! she's wrinkled! And has white hair! I, on the other hand, am a tad overweight, but have bright red hair and not a wrinkle to be found ... on my face, at least (of course, it could be the weight). And I can cut a rug!!!! (Of course at this weight, we might have to move the 12 square inches every so often in order to not wear out the floor).
CAN'T WAIT FOR PROM NITE 2001!!!

Well Walt, there you go. Plenty of HHSers to dance with. don't get stepped on as this sounds like a buffalo herd you've come in contact with..... Have a nice time, and wear your steel toed work shoes.

Message: I just had an HHS memory 'flash back'. One evening in 1971 a few friends and I were in a little Toyota. This was when Toyotas were the same size as VWs only square instead of round and looked like they should be wound up in the back. Anyway the driver, who shall remain nameless, decided drive on campus. (This was of course prior to the 'prison look' the school has now.) Of course we were all laughing as she drove all around campus including a trip down Hawthorne Highway. (This Toyota was really little and just fit the walkway.) After a short time, the driver tried to leave the same way we got in and Someone, either as a joke or just to hold us off until the police came, locked the gate we used to get in. The driver turned out to have a few tricks up her sleeve. If only the Toyota could have 'sucked it in a little.' She got a few little scratches...But we were able to squeeze out a walkway and escape. Good memory. If anyone else who was in the car remembers this little trip, don't name the driver, she would kill me. So much for my life of crime.

OK Mr Nelson, I have a lead on the students who came on campus in that little Toyota back in 1971. One of them lives in El Segundo. ......call me.
