Message: Cougar Sighting-Miss Olivia Arias class of 1963 > last night on Access Hollywood, during a detailed piece on the Beatle's LOVE show in Las Vegas- Miss Olivia looked simply marvelous with Yoko, Paul & Ringo. A very nice tribute to George & the Fab Four-
Thanks Neil, but you actually have to see them in person, talk to them and ask them if they've heard of Cougartown. Sorry buddy, no sighting.

Message: Hi John, thanks for the shout. I'm still lurking about from time to time. Between moving, job deadlines, and traveling to look-in on ailing parents, there aren't enough hours in the day... I spoke with Dan Johnson yesterday at the Fiesta Hermosa, and met his 2 very cute daughters Asia, and Layla. Cougartown Connection: While visiting my dad recently, we came across one of his H.S. football team photos, Manual Arts of Los Angeles, early 40's. Seems dad was a team-mate and good buddy of one Mr. Dave Capelouto! Take care, Cougs!
Hey Bob, Glad you're still with us and GREAT connection there. Not only are we all connected, our parents are too. Thanks again....

Message: JB, I agree on the noise issue -- and that's why you need an appropriately configured venue. By the way, they played at the 20 year and it worked out just fine. "Silent Rage" has been around since the early 80s (though when they were at HHS in the late 70s they were just called Rage). Ernie Curcio (aka EJ Curse), Class of ' 77, plays bass. Marc Hawkins (I believe of Lawndale High also class of '77) is the guitarist. Gene Simmons signed Silent Rage to RCA records. For grins, here's a link their MTV video for "Rebel With A Cause" circa 1981 -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUgMlbrmeHw That hair says it all

Message: Am I mistaken or has it been two weeks since Cruise Night? Have I MISSED the pictures and if I have, can someone tell me where I should be looking (and John ... don't you dare tell me where to "go" .. ha!). About LeRoy Feelderwhatever ... his spelling is soooo bad, that in many cases, even I have a hard time deciphering what he means. Bless old LeRoy's heart ... he means well. I did get the part where he invited everyone to his house for dinner ... boy! I'll bet ol' Beulah will LOVE that when about 50 of us show up wearing our best appetites!
Hey Doris, Can't put the pics up. Have none. See you at LeeRoy's.

Message: It is with saddened heart I write this post but after reading Dan Petty's post of the PIEBOY I just had to say that if you new Billy he was special in all kinds of ways. Back in are days at HHS I worked at his dads bakery for awhile. Oh ya Billy got me the job cause he knew I needed some work. I remember also helping him on his first car, a 48 Chevy, and cruising with him in and around the South Bay. Then he and I were in the service about the same time and lost track for a long time. We reconnected at the all class prom, that alot of great people put on. Pieboy, I'll miss you. I know he would like to hear from his friends, so send your e-mails to his wife at estercusac@yahoo.com

Message: I saw a show on public television called " the beach boys an all american band" years ago and was fascinated by the high school that produced this powerful musical institution and especially the exploits of our genuis hero mr. brian wilson , Go # 51 at quarterback for our cougars!!!! Hawthorne high school is like the beach boys music, it is essentially the high school of high schools of all time. I am even planning a trip to Hawthorne to visit the beach boy monument, see the high school and stop by the foster's freeze for a burger etc. just like Brian and the Boys used to. Always Go Cougars Go!!!!!
Hey Kenny, You are correct. HHS is the high school of High Schools. Thanks for chiming in.

Message: Hey Jill,sign me up to help out on the Class of 77 Re-union Committee. I might as well add more to my list of fun things to do. (My wife will kill me, I am already busy at Church & American Legion Post & 82nd Airborne Association, etc. But dont worry I will help you out. It will be worth it. My dog can keep me warm at night when I am sleeping on the back porch ! LOL) Thats probably too much info. Everyone have a great holiday weekend. Fight On SC !

Message: Jill, I will contribute. Among other things, I'll try to convince EJ that Silent Rage/Band X should play again like they did at the 20. I think we should open the "guest list" to anyone who was at HHS when we were there -- that means the classes of '73, '74, '75, '76, '78, '79 & '80 (and JB who is HHS class of ? ).
You might think about keeping the noise down at reunions. People want to visit with each other. Music is somewhat secondary.

Message: Attention class of 1977, I have had John Baker do a search to see if anyone has spearheaded our 30 Year reunion for next year. He didn't find any. Sooooo, I am volunteering to head it up. Now, I need volunteers, badly! So if you are interested email me. In order to make this a success, like the 76ers we need to move now. Dan Johnson, I'm expecting your 2 cents, buddy. That is all.
There you go 77ers, it's time to step up to the plate. You'll have plenty of time so please email Jill and volunteer to be a committee member, get your heads together and plan something. Ask Sharon if you need advice. I know she'll volunteer advice. Good Luck!!
