You can blame Singer 4 finding me. So go ahead and clip his oxygen cord. 40 years and it only seems like yesterday, yet its so long ago I can't remember, or at least just forgotten. Thanks to all who had anything 2 do with setting up this website, It does make it easy to reach out and touch. Thanks for not making it so u can slap. I'm not working any of my jobs today and its 2 dam cold to do anything on the ranch so I'll chat to the moon without any interuptions cause ya'll are all at work. HA! HA! I read through the 4 pages on this forum and remembered the old days. The friends, the fun and all the trouble we had. Running away from home, getting drunk, fighting, playing football, kissing girls all foudations for the life we now live. Shit I'm still doing all those things. Did I miss something? Is there more 2 life? Well If so don't tell me I don't won't 2 know. I'll just keep on keeping on in Ala-freeking-Bama, roll tide roll. As they say in Africa HAPPY, HAPPY ! PS Singer, Ward, JK, Miller, Bev. Thanks 4 your emails. I laughed till I cried. god is great, beer is good and people are crazy. give em hell Randall

03/26/10 02:28 PM #87     Randy Stephens This ones for Van. Just learned of his death. We had lots of good times together and only 2 fights I remember, about what I don't remember. Van's dad was responable for saving my grandads life when we were barely walking. So our families go way back. We played football together, basketball together, ran track together and hung out together. Someday Van we'll be together again. give em hell in heaven dude. Randall

03/27/10 12:03 AM #88     Lloyd Singer Bravo Randy... all very well said. I just thought I'd throw in a tale of Danny. One morning in the Science wing hallway, somehow a group of guys discovered a locker door & frame were loose! With a little persuasion... the door just fell off! Imagine that... Ralph, Paul and I decided to hide it backstage in the auditorium dressing room. About a class & 1/2 later... we were summoned to the OFFICE! I think it was Atwood(?)that told us,"We know what you did with that locker door, but if you'll go get it and put it back on... we'll forget about this incident". After considering our options (and our asses) we agreed. Well when we went to the derssing room where we had stashed it, IT WAS GONE!! We began to panic, and fearing for our tender behinds we explained that someone else must have moved it!! I think we searched until lunch with no luck. By then everyone knew what was up an then low and behold, up strolls Danny to the principals office and confesses," I watched you guys hide it in the dressing room and then after you left, I threw it up on top of the dressing room". We wanted to kill him and at the same time kiss him for savin' our behinds. We all went and retrieved it and stuck it back on... As it turned out, we got to cut most of our classes that day! It was quite an adventure... Good ol' Danny couldn't let us take the fall.

03/27/10 02:43 AM #89     Ralph Ellerd Don't get me started!!!!!! God bless Danny and Van Ok Lloyd remember Me you and Paul getting caught going to the spudnut shop was our 40th time our junior year Paul's first time, we got back to the band hall and Mr Wilson said Mr. Pollard wants to see ya'll in his office. Well 5 licks later during class time could be heard all down the halls and teacher's looking out the class rooms to see who got beat. Mr Pollard said who is first, well I heard he got warmed up after the second person, so I said I'm first, Lloyd was last and lifted him off the ground, LOL But then we were walking back to class and typical Lloyd looked at me and Paul and said "want to go in the bathroom and compare asses!!!! Damnit!!! Randy S. here is one for u, I can't remember if it was our 8th or 9th grade basketball trip but we just pulled out of the band hall alley on the bus and Coach Lance caught u smoking on the back of the bus and kick u off the bus right at ur front door of ur house, U just got off the bus and went home remember that one??? Good to hear from you Randy, U little shit!!! Better go to bed, to be continued!!!! Randy P. ur in my prayers every day!!! Ralph Berriman

03/27/10 09:22 AM #90     Randy Stephens Great stories Singer and Ralph. It was 8th grade and i wasn't only smoking I was giving the buss driver hell. He was the new guy who used 2 hit Van abd I on the head with dumbells, the shitass. Louie, Vans dad, really got mad about that and later got him fired. Any way I was smoking and giving this gup hell about his granny driving when coach Lanch kicked me off the buss. Next day at the office I told ATwood where he could stick his basketball team and buss driver and there went my NBA carrier and atwood had a go at my ass. Lucky for Larry bird Id a smoked him. give em hell Randall

03/27/10 10:20 AM #91     Steve Raymond Randy, I'm intrigued. Tell us more about "Atwood having a go at your ass".

03/27/10 10:44 AM #92     Randy Stephens LOL............U dirty old fart. U need to get out more. That's the Kings English (British phrase) for whipping my ass with a paddle. Like Pollard did so often in H.S. Sorry to spoil your fantasy dude. I guess I did fall into that one. I'll be careful from now on with all u dirty minded farts who out there somewhere and I mean really out there like beyond the cosmos gutters. give em hell Leroy Randall

03/27/10 06:49 PM #93     Celinda (Cindi) Ward (Hanna) So, whatever happened to Mr. Pollard? I found a Howard Pollard who is a school superintendent in Denver City, TX. Hey, how about we invite him to the reunion. Maybe he'd attend if we promise him another go at Randy's arse....or Lloyd's....or Ralph's. What's a reunion without the teacher you loved to hate the most? God bless Danny for his honesty! He was always a considerate guy. I remember getting one lick in junior high school (the kind with a paddle for you gutter minded souls) and it was a female teacher who wielded the weapon. I can't remember who. It was for not turning in homework. My feelings were hurt for a month and I ended up finding my missing paper right after the trip to the principal's office. You guys had a lot more fun earning your punishment! Such hellions you were (ha)! Love the stories!

03/27/10 09:31 PM #94     Mary Lou Delgado (Moreno) Cindi, Mr. Pollard was school superintendent at Denver City, but has retired. Ricky and Debbie (Dunn) Cox live in Denver City now. They both work for the school system there. I don't know if he (Mr. Pollard) could survive a "Class of '70" get-together (ha). He was still the superintendent at Tulia when I started teaching many moons ago. Mary Lou

03/27/10 10:55 PM #95     Randy Stephens Someone get him 2 the renuion and I'll attent just so I can kick his ass. How sweet that would be. Maybe not I might kill him. So many bad times with that devil. On the last day of school, senior year, Pope did something like throw paper on the floor and the devil came after me. Hell I got in trouble with that guy even when I wasn't in trouble. give em hell Randall

03/28/10 08:15 PM #96     Randy Stephens I'm just sitting here resting my bones at the Best Western till I have 2 go 2 work in the morning. So I though another Pollard story might be in order. Ralph I think u were part of this one our freshman year. First period over the com came the names of several people who were to go to the devils den. Some uper-classmen were there 2. This was 2 be my first meeting with the devil. As he always did when u were in trouble, he closed those big blinds in his office and I though this must be the end of the world. The devil layed down the law after telling us our hair was 2 long and not 2 come back 2 school till we cut it. I didn't and had 2 dodge him 4 weeks. He finall caught me and sent me home. Thats when I became a blond beach boy. I made a deal with mom; if she cut it she had 2 bleach it. It looked great. Then dad came home. Well I missed another day of school and returned after mom colored it back brown. I was so sick that no one got to see me as a blond beach boy.

03/28/10 08:30 PM #97     Randy Stephens Pope and Miller got in on the next one. It was another glorious day at THS till over the com came that dreaded invite 2 the devils den. Again the blinds were drawn and I though O SHIT here we go again. The previous weekend Mom had taken us kids 2 Amarillo and bought us cloths. I saw a shirt I just had 2 have and mom gave in. Well Pope and Miller must have had the same Idea because here we all stood in the devils den with new paisley shirts on. Pollard don't do paisley, so we were told to go home and not come back till we changed shirts. I have 3 or 4 other Pollard stories not this tame if anyone is interested. If not I'll shut up. Give em hell Randall

03/29/10 11:04 AM #98     Dallana Carlile (Loper) Man, I must say I lived a pretty boring life compared to you guys. These stories are very amusing. I don't think I ever knew any of your shenanigans went on. Ya'll were pretty funny guys and had a lot of "fun"??? Speaking of Mr. Pollard, he is a retired Superintendent, and I see him every once in a while-especially since I've been at this same job for 36 years!!! He has his own business in Lubbock---Pollard Financial Group. After he retired he worked several years as an "Interim Superintendent" for different districts around Lubbock area. He has grandchildren who attend school at Shallowater ISD. Just too so sad to hear of the passing of Danny & Van. We have had a lot of sadness in our family over the last several years and it's pretty hard to take at times. I just really hate it for their families. Looking forward to seeing everyone in July. It's really fun reading all the interesting information in these posts, of course, I'm sure there is a lot more to the stories than there is being told too! I really didn't do anything compared to you guys. I was pretty sweet and innocent back then! Dallana

03/29/10 02:18 PM #99     Deborah Nelson (Ferriter) I have to agree with Dallana, my life was pretty boring compared to others...

03/29/10 07:01 PM #100     Beverley Clark (Mauldin) Why do I feel like you guys deserved everything you got? I remember the locker incident but did not know Danny was involved. Randy I told you you were still a rebel at heart. Look what you started. Please keep the stories coming.

03/29/10 07:29 PM #101     Randy Stephens Larry, Those girls, Dallana & Deb, don't have 2 make anything up. I have a source that says on a good day they could get a little wild back when. I can't reveal my source, u know honor the code and all but the source says they got a little sideways more than a couple of times. So don't give me this boring stuff. I'm not buying it. give em hell Randall

03/29/10 07:32 PM #102     Randy Stephens Easy now easy Bev. I'm every girls dream and every mans nightmare. U know the Knight in shinning armor guy. The guy on the white horse righting the wrongs and riding to the resque.

03/29/10 07:52 PM #103     Randy Stephens Ok, Ok. So a couple of want to hear more. Really it would have only taken one. I'm easy u know. Ya'll must really not have anything else 2 do 2 want 2 hear this stuff. And what does that say about me? I'm writing it. It was another wonderful day in the neighbor hood and I was dreaming about all ya'll sexy girls in first period class when to my dismay came another becken over the com. Yes the devil was calling again, inviting me 2 his den. This time it was my shirt tail, It wasn't tucked in. Pollard don't do shirt tails out. So I put it in till I got back 2 class and then somehow it must have slipped out. This time it was a tap on the shoulder in the hallway on my way 2 be educated in my next class. I knew it was the devil cause his fingers were as cold as hell froze over. When he drew the blinds I said to myself, self u have reall F..... up this time. Then echoing in the silent halls of THS was a pop, pop, pop, pop, pop. I was lucky only 5 swats, but man the devil could the really swing that thing. give em hell Randall

03/29/10 08:24 PM #104     Randy Stephens Want 2 hear more? I really did spent more time in the devils den at good old THS than I did in class. At least it seemed that way. Maybe thats why I had 2 take all 4 english classes my senior year. Thats right I had not passed a one in 3 years according 2 the devil anyway. That year I even dreamed about english in my sleep or was it night terrors. give em hell Randall

03/30/10 08:31 AM #105     Katrina Donnell (Kimble) I am really surprised at the things you all got in trouble for. In the school I went to in NM it wouldn't have even gotten a nod from the administration. Besides kids in my school were too stoned to come up with something like that! During lunch there was a long line of kids who sat on the curb in front of the high school passing a joint down. Was I one of them? I'll leave that to your imagination. I can tell you this: I didnt inhale! Ha- heard that one before, right? And NO I wasn't a hippie! I was more a rodeo wild child--my horse & I followed the circuit. I'm looking forward to having a great time getting to know all of you again. Is one day going to be enough?? Katie

03/30/10 09:44 AM #106     Donna Bookout (Henthorn) Where was I when all this 'stuff' was going on?!!! It's like reading a novel by authors I never knew....very entertaining! Looks like my life was pretty 'sedated' at good ole THS! Keep the tales coming.........they always make me laugh! DBH

03/30/10 05:30 PM #107     Celinda (Cindi) Ward (Hanna) I'm loving these stories. I'm amazed at how some of my classmates are able to raise the verbalization of BS from the mundane to an endearing art form! The Class of 70 rocks! I also notice that some of you folks who check in on the site often are conspicuously quiet. Makes me wonder what you were up to in HS that you don't want to share. Ha! This is a great place to post those memories of school day incidents, your favorite teacher, your least favorite teacher, etc. I found the booklet created for our 20 year class reunion - do any of you remember it? I have no clue who put it together (Kathy Breitling, Kathy Whitehead, Mary Lou Delgado maybe?) but it contains names & addresses of some classmates with a brief synopsis of each person's life at the time. Someone put a lot of work into it so whoever you are I want to say "thank you"! In the back is a section entitled "comments & memories" with quotes from some of our classmates. My plan is to scan these pages and post them on a link for viewing by all of you. Remember, the comments were made 20 years ago! I think you will giggle and enjoy them as much as I did so stay tuned to the site for their posting, along with some photos from our senior class picnic at Palo Duro Canyon. I forgot I had some great pics of seniors misbehaving. I promise to try and crop the beer cans and cigarettes out of the photos even though we know they were nothing more than "props", right? Just think, I will soon have more pictures of seniors misbehaving but the term "senior" has taken on a whole new meaning! OK - who's next in sharing an escapade? Don't be shy! We need some girls to fess up to having some good clean fun in school.

03/30/10 05:49 PM #108     Debbie Cox (Johnson) Cindi, I remember getting licks for not having my homework. There were quite a few of us. Maybe that was the same time. Mine were from Ms. Welch and think it may have been math, but also got licks for failing a test in another class. Maybe that was Welch. It's been too long to remember. Mary Lou, Ricky & Debbie are still in Denver City, but have retired from the Texas system and now teach in Lovington, NM.

03/30/10 05:51 PM #109     Debbie Cox (Johnson) I remember using a lot of toiler paper on cars & shrubs and also shoe polish. Couldn't do that now without going to jail.

03/30/10 07:12 PM #110     Jan Minchew (Sparks) OK...I have a vague memory of one Halloween night with some unnamed co-conspirators. We "borrowed" a fire extinguisher from backstage (autitorium) and took to the streets after dark. One poor child dropped his bag of candy... Then, my memory tells me, we dropped raw eggs in a couple of mail boxes & pitched raw bisquit dough in a few cars. ...very creative. (Forgive me Lord!) Jan
