In reply to: Lauressa Thomas 's message, "Thank-you" on 19:50:20 11/06/02 Wed

Hi Lauressa--

First -- you are very welcome. I have really enjoyed establishing and running The Tiger Den web site -- and I am pleased to see that younger GHS students are finding this site and enjoying it. There will come a day when I will have to turn the site over to a younger generation -- hopefully that is yet many years away.

As to the old traditions from "back in the days," well, I don't know -- I'm sure some of the "traditions" weren't exactly legal.... LOL!!

Seriously, I hope you get a lot of responses for this thread you started. It has the potential to generate A LOT of great comments and stories.

The one tradition I remember was the Thanksgiving Day Globe-Miami football game that stopped just before my freshman year. I understand why it was stopped, but it was a huge tradition for many years. See Ricardo Lucero's recollection of the games on The Tiger Den web site to get an idea of how rough things were.

Student Body President, eh? Impressive. Stay in touch. I am curious about the Papoose web site . I removed the link to it because nothing was being done on it. Do you know anything about it?

Thank YOU for the update on the Southern Division Champions!!!! I'd love to go to Friday's game, but I doubt if I will be able to make it. Let us know when and where the next round is being played. You know, in our Senior year, we had a perfect record, but it was upside down -- we were 0 and 10, pretty embarassing! So I am excited to hear how well Globe has done this year.

Traditions, Karl? Didn't they all involve the old CCC camp in the Pinals? Bob

Most, if not all, Bob. And other remote places. Then again, many of the "traditional" activities in those remote locations also often fell under the "not exactly legal" category....?

But being the sweet and innocent type, I wouldn't have any real first-hand knowledge of those activities -- all I have is second-hand accounts, i.e., heresay....

To tell ya the truth the "traditions" (I'm assuming they would be under the "not exactly legal" category) at Pipeline, Chinatown, CC Camp and other places, still pretty much go on out there. LOL. Other then most of those places, every cop in town knows about, so there are some new spots too...not that I would know either, hah! But, yes the Tigers Beat Higley 40-7 and they play Willcox, once again on Friday, November 15th at 5:00 pm at Mesa Community College.

Apparently I was the good one of this alumni group and I spent time doing the actual legal tradition stuff!!! It's been only 10 years so I don't know what's the same & what's changed. We of course started off our freshman year with the traditional white washing of the G & painting of the M. For us pep assemblies & spirit yells were really big. FLOAT BUILDING FLOAT BUILDING FLOAT BUILDING!!!!! I have to say that this is by far one of the most memorable expierences of most everyone in my classes memories! We had the best time and my class ('92 of course) Had the best record (2nd freshman & a sweep for 1st the next 3 years!!) Huge on mechanical moving floats. It's a great way to meet people in your class that you've never really hung out with before. There's always the copper kettle madness! Ask Mrs. Hunt for a copy of the '92 yearbook. It was a 75th anniversary edition and there are lots of good ideas in there for you. We researched back to the early 1900's. There is also a little room right next to the auditorium filled with yearbooks & memorablia that will help[ you as well. You'll need to Ask Mrs. Hunt for permission though.

Good luck and email me if you have any more questions!!


Have fun,
