Hey Keith, Kathy guessed what the motto meant, but she didn't guess the motto; "Men Sana En Corpore Sano". Yes, if you live outside the Country, please leave us a Feedback.

Message: Hello Cougars, The school motto was in Latin, if I'm not mistaken. It was: Mens sana en corpore sano. Which is: A sound mind in a sound body. I'm not sure if my Latin is correct and what a shame! I have a bachelors degree from UCLA in Latin. All that time and money for NOTHING! Take care one and all and have a happy and delicious Thanksgiving. Jim Peppers
YES YOU HAVE GOT IT!!! Thanks Jim and I was going to give away the all expense paid trip to Greece but I see you're already there so how about a free chocolate dipped cone at the next Cruise Night?

Thanks Jim, I didn't think anyone remembered that one except Jerry Miles and me.

Message: The noon movies I remember were free, and on rainy days when we couldn't all fit into the cafeteria for lunch. They were black and white versions of "You were There". Sometimes panel discussions or reinactments of history like the "Salem Witch Trials" with Walter Cronkite and other people chain smoking while they educated us. My memory is a little rusty, so I may be wrong.
Wasn't the school motto A Sound Mind In A Sound Body?
Kind of, but not quite....

But I?m fairly sure they started again in later years. Maybe our 70?s people could shed some light on this.

Message: I checked out my handy dandy Student Handbook Bell Schedule and found the lunch periods were forty minutes long, 11:23-12:03 and 12:23-1:03. I remember you always had time to grab some goodies to take with you to the noon movies so they played for about 30 minutes a day. As movies were about 2 hours long this worked out well. For the longer movies, Fridays were free. I also noticed the school motto in the handbook. Anybody remember what it was? Does anyone know if it still is?
Wasn't it: Do your school work or be expelled?

I e-mailed Janice Hall, Fern McNeeley, Judie Monroe, Maxine Woo and so far no answer. Does any one know anything about them??? It would be great to get in touch with them and any others out there. Please feel free to contact me. Would love to here from you.. My Brother Mike Wilson, Class of "60" (posted a few weeks ago) and his wife Aide are here visiting with us. They will be here for Thanksgiving. Speaking of that, I wish all of our Cougartown friends a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving.
Hi Glenda, Glad you're trying to connect with your HHS friends. If anyone can help contact Glenda's friends for her, it would be appreciated. Thanks too, to Don for spreading the word.

Saw mention of the play Harvey, the school drama club did a presentation of Harvey in 58 with Ray Shelley being in the cast.
Anyone know how long the noon movies lasted at school? They were a regular during the 50's. Near new movies shown over a 4 day period and cost $.10/day. $.40 for a movie wasn't all that bad. In Inglewood a ticket to either the fox or UA would cost about $.90 if I remember correctly.
I don't remember exactly but they couldn't have been much more than 40 minutes a day.

Message: Hi gang--it's been ages since I've posted. This should count as some type of Cougar Sighting. An old family photo of my cousins is featured on one of the labels in the Jones Soda Holiday Pack. Linda Kemp-1975, Brian Kemp-1976, and their younger siblings John and Jennifer are on the bottle of Brussels Sprout soda. I've never really paid any attention to these bottles on store shelves, but when I found out I had family on the label I had to pick up a few boxes at Target before they sold out. I hope the approaching holidays can be a time for looking back at good old memories and making new ones.
Nice picture but Brussels Sprout soda?? MMMMmmmm

Also, I hope you don't mind this John, but my husband, Jim, is in a play at the Bellflower Theater in Bellflower. The play is called "Harvey." Some of you might remember the movie with Jimmy Stewart about the invisible rabbit. It's been running for the past three weeks and has two more weekends left. If anyone is in the area and interested in going the telephone number is 562-867-3524. If anyone is thinking about going, let me know when and I'll show up that night too. You will need to call ahead to reserve a spot as they have been selling out every night. John, I hope you don't mind my posting this. Hope everyone has had a great weekend and if you have tomorrow off have a good one and remember the people who have given their lives to keep us free.
Go Jim......

Message: Have been getting familiar with Cougartown again. Was looking back a few pages and saw someone posted a pic of an old Helms bakery truck. I'm sure it brought back memories to some of us old timers. There was a 31 Helms bakery truck brought up here last yr to the annual antique truck show. It looked new and all the drawers were stocked. Too bad the faux pastry didn't taste all that good. Ha! This yr there was a 32 Ford Model B on display that is owned by R.C. Wells & Son from Inglewood. Never saw the owner but sign said family has been in business in Inglewood for several generations. Anyone know the family?
From looking over a number of posts it looks like the Cougars have ventured out beyond the South Bay. See a number of Cougars nearby but they are way younger than I
Hey Mickey, We've got lots of Cougars checking in here, around your age or older. Doris Donaldson, Russ Jacobsen, Dennis Unfried, Marilyn Wisham, Ray Shelley, etc. Join in anytime with your memories of the area.

Message: Veteran's Day is a good time to reflect on the sacrifices others have made for the rest of us. There is also positive things one can do to support current service members. Other than getting an abundant share of scornful looks and rude treatment from people when I was in the U.S. Army as the Vietnam War was winding down, (a lot of folks hated anyone wearing our country's uniform back then), the most discouraging thing was not receiving mail from home on a regular basis. This hasn't changed over the years, and there are a lot of lonely GI's overseas who never get mail. For those interested, suggest checking out "Soldier's Angels", perhaps even "adopting" a service member. There are other organizations helping out service members, but these folks are all volunteers.
