Dear Classmates...........Having to forward bad news to you is certainly not something I like doing, but it has to be done so that we can honor our classmates that have passed and pray comforting words for their loved ones.          

                                     
Louise Pharris Lago lost her battle with Covid-19 the week of July 13, 2020.  Louise had pre-existing conditions which weakened her immune system.  Some of us were lucky enough to see her at our 55th Reunion last Fall.  Louise and her husband, Mike, lived in Placentia, CA.  I received this information from Louise's longtime friend, Sally Webster Bergman.

                                   
Cheryl Patterson Blankmeyer, beloved classmate of ours, met the Lord on Friday, July 17, 2020.  Cheryl had been struggling with several issues at the time of her passing.  She passed away from heart failure. Cheryl and her husband Dave lived in Yorba Linda for many years and they were longtime members of Messiah Lutheran Church. They had one son, Robert and grandchildren who live out of state.

Please keep our two friends and their families in your prayers for peace, understanding and comfort.                         

Well folks, the 55th Reunion is over and it was a tremendous success.  It was smaller than some of our other reunions, but this gave us a chance to really sit down and visit with everyone.  The food was great and the set up was unique.  Our reception/appetizer/bar area was in the middle of the Embassy Suites on the main floor, with our dinner area in a separate room to the left and dancing and photo booth in a separate room to the right. Once again Diana decorated in her usual beautiful style with so many memories to look at and enjoy.  There were a few classmates that attended for the first time since our Graduation.  The DJ played a great selection of music and some danced the night away.  It was nice to have the Bar and Reception in a separate area from the Music, so we could visit without having to shout.

Thank you to Virginia, Mabry, Peggy and Kathy for making our "55th" a very special and memorable one.

20) How can I intimate this to my most intimate friend?

Let's face it - English is a crazy language. There is no egg in eggplant, nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren't invented in England or French fries in France. Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are animal organs .. We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of booth, beeth? One goose, 2 geese. So one moose, 2 meese? One index, 2 indices? Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend? If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it?

If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat? Sometimes I think all the English speakers should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane. In what language do people recite at a play and play at a recital? Ship by truck and send cargo by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell?  How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out , and in which an alarm goes off by going on.

English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race, which, of course, is not a race at all. That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible.

AND...... - Why doesn't 'Buick' rhyme with 'quick'?

 FUHS ALMA MATER

Written by Lilah Esmay in 1912

We are proud of all thy prowess, Fullerton,

And we thy colors bravely bear.

We will be thy loyal subjects ever;

Joy and grief we alike will with thee share.
