Memories from High School....
1. Winning the Copper Kettle my junior year. Watching those Vandals crawl into our gym was fabulous!
2. I went to Globe High School before airconditioning and when you went to science class and had to go out in the weather.
3. When Kivisto got caught at Safeway stealing steaks and then became our truant officer
4. Leonard Paul's Pizza - There was nothing like it!
5. During the play my senior year when one of my fellow cast members forced me to shake his hand that was covered in butter.
6. When we did MASH our senior year and a couple of the guys were supposed to play golf in the audience with oranges. Except on this evening they pealed them! We had orange juice.
7. The chimes that regulated our day
8. The last senior assembly
9. The Apache crown dancers at pep assemblies
10. Teachers I will never forget: Mr Perry ("hey Vern"), Mr. Groves (Groovy groves), Mrs Nutting (she could smile through anything), Mrs England (despite her best efforts I still look at my fingers when I type), Mr Vierling (I understand it is Dr. Vierling now), Mrs Kanon....I could go on and on.
11. The first time I tried on my cap and gown

Giant Cinamon Rolls from the Cafeteria.

The Cowboys sitting on one wall and the stoners sitting on the other, in back of the school.

Miss Rice..the best girls coach ever! Sports road trips on the big Mercer buses. Now that was cool!

Summer marching band practice in front of the school.

Crusing around and around and around the school.

Eating lunch at the Rolling Pin or at R-Dels.

And of course "The Tiger Den". Just to name a few.....

As a freshman in 1967, Mr. Crawford, the very strict English teacher, made me stand up in front of the whole honors English class and had me promise not to do as miserably as my sister had done in his remedial class. I wanted to disolve into nothingness as the snickers from Patty Sowden, Elaine Bosse, Robert Clark, and all the other kids in class smothered me. I aced the course, but the stigma of what he did to me followed me all year. That was part of my decision to transfer to Miami High for the rest of my high school years.

Robert - Now that wouldn't be fair of me to name my sister, would it?! I do love her, you know. But unfortunately for both her and me, she was the school's designated person to pick on and be mean to. All through grade school, she and I were both just your regular no-bodies, but she was sent to Holy Angels Catholic school during her junior high years to get her caught up on her studies, much as I don't think it did her much good. There at that school she got picked on, and that turned her mean. Ridicule followed her all through high school. And in turn, I got stuck with being known as her little sister. We were poor and not stylish, and unfortunately for my sister, she hung out with the unpopular crowd. As a little freshman, I just couldn't understand why the football players and cheerleaders picked on me just because my sister was who she was. After all, I was me, not her. I was the nice, shy, smart and almost pretty sister, but living in the shadow of my mean, dowdy, butt-of-jokes older sibling. I transferred to Miami for my soph, jr, and senior years, having a much better time of it, even making the pom squad. I still have vivid memories of GHS, you were one of the holy upper classmen, one of the elite set; smart, rich, good-looking, popular, student council. I knew you'd make something great with your life because that was what your type did, of course your crowd would all become doctors or lawyers or CEO's of airlines or something wonderful. I even actually thought our state was named after your mother! That's how important I thought, in my youthful ignorance, your family was. So you probably knew who my sister was as we all went to school together for a while, but to make you remember someone who's much better off if the "kids" of her past don't have to think of her, everyone's better off. We don't need to be a Maury Povich show. And I don't have any grudges against anyone. I'm just glad she doesn't have access to the internet or this web site. I do enjoy reading your comments here in tigerden and on classmates. Take care and keep posting.

This is too hard to figure out, 35 years later. I do remember Patty Sowden and Elaine Bosse, whom you mention (and their sisters Kathy and Mary, respectively one year senior to me and in my GHS graduating class, whom I knew better), and I am racking my brain trying to remember who you were, Susan, as a freshman in 1967. (I suppose if I had the Wigwam handy I might be able to figure it out.) Karl Foerster has my e-mail address, and is hereby granted permission to disclose it to you. I'd love to hear from you, because I probably did know your sister, but I can't remember anyone whom I would describe as the "school's designated person to pick on and be mean to." I can't believe that anyone who writes as well as you do didn't get something out of Mr. Crawford's class (I know that I did, mostly from reading Great Expectations and having to do that blasted poetry notebook). Trust me on this: "elite set," "rich," "good-looking," and "popular" were not words that I would have applied to myself in high school ("smart," well, yes) -- and I failed in every attempt to be elected to the student council. I'd say that you have the wrong guy, but my mom's name was indeed Arizona (however, I don't believe for a moment that you thought "our state was named after [my] mother"), so that can't be it. So, please refresh my memory through a private e-mail.

Hey, Karl - read Robert's message? Sure, I'd write to him if you feel like sending me his address - you have mine. Thanks for this forum. I'm on it at least every other day because it's my only connection to "home". Well, maybe there's another slight connection, but... And Robert, yes, I do remember you, just maybe didn't have all my facts right about the student council -- remember, I was just a little bitty freshman. And it was HONORS English and I did ACE it, yes I did get a lot out of it! And Skip Cochran, thank you, too.

Wow doI have memories of Globe High and all the friends that I left behind when I moved in 1955 to the valley. I did want to share with everyone, who does not know, that my brother Dominic "Pusso" Renon passed suddenly on November 16, 2000. He will be truly missed and was loved by everyone. I always remember the number "22", Pusso's football jersey number. And what a football star. Every Saturday, after a football game, people always stopped and talked to Pusso, about the game the night before. And our Thanksgiving game every year with Miami. What good memories! I can go on and on.

Author: Catherine Renon-Nugent [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 22:09:25 12/29/03 Mon On December 24,2003, we lost a great friend to Cancer, Howard G. Termain. He graduated from Globe High in 1955. He leaves us with many good and fun memories, and will be truly missed. He has joined my brother, in their home in the sky and I am sure they are talking over the "good ole times".
