Message: Thanks for the photo of the Dana class.....I remember so many of these kids. Row 1: Yes that is Janet Frantz. Row 2: I think the girl on the end is Mary (or Margie?) McCormick. Row 3: That is not George Lopez....I remember this boy but not his name....sorry. Row 4: Next to Larry Clark, is Lanna M. (Myers?) Hope that helps.

Message: Hello Cougars Class of 62: The girl in the picture, upper left-hand corner, is Sandy Batory. She lived on 117th street. Don't have a clue where she is now. But, she was a sweetie. I think the last person to see her was George Rea or Daryl Lundquist. I believe one of them was locked together with her in a "slow dance". Thanks, Kathy (Tift) Mandel-Reese

Message: I can recall donkey basketball in my freshman year at HHS (64-65) There are pictures of it in the year book for that year. I am certain it was teachers vs students...they all rode donkeys. I think the teachers won that year!

Message: I never heard of donkey basketball when I was in school. The first time I saw or heard of it was in the late 70's at my kids school, Garden Grove High. My son-in-law was a teacher and played in the games, but they had to stop doing that because of the damage to the gym floors.

Message: Donkey basketball....wow..that brings good memories. I so badly wanted to be a player and didn't get picked. I don't know how one (student) gets selected to be on the team. But it was played all 4 yrs I went to HHS (77 to 81). Funny it was mentioned because 2 weeks ago our local High School here in the Portland area (Westview H.S.) played the game. I had to work and sadly missed it but next year I'm definately going to go to it! I too wonder if HHS still has it played there today. OH the poor wooden floorboard...hope the donkeys didn't do much damage!

He was with his daughter and is doing very well! He and his wife are going to join us for lunch within the next few weeks so we can catch up and fellowship!

Me and Walt Krumbach 77 took a few classes together with Mike. He was a great teacher and helped us all learn about Law Enforcement. He did really Love El Camino and his Students. RIP.

The service at the church at 624 15th St. will begin at 10 a.m., El Camino College police Sgt. Jonathon Ott said The 58-year-old chief was discovered dead in bed Wednesday at his Hermosa Beach home. He had been feeling ill for a few days and failed to arrive at work. The Coroner's Office has not determined the cause of death. Police said foul play was not involved. "Mike was well known for his unwavering loyalty to the college," El Camino College President Thomas M. Fallo said in a statement. "He loved El Camino College and El Camino College loved him back.

Message: I started creating a website for my Belton (Texas) HS Class of '60 in late Feb. '07, using Yahoo's free software SiteBuilder. Yours looks SO PROFESSIONAL! What software are you using? I love what you've done with your Favorite Teachers Page. I'm having difficulty getting classmates to participate. The ones who do are very faithful, though. Our school was small, with only 68 graduates in 1960. My site is at www.beltonclassof60.com, if you want to see my humble efforts! Good luck! Jan Stoehr
