Today seems to be the day to stroll down memory lane. I too have some very fond memories of E.R.H.S

The acrobatics of Ed Sylvis. ( diving out a second story window and performing a perfect flip in mid air) His way to exit the building in case of fire.

The football games, the school dances, dancing cheek to cheek with Juanita Payton ( one of my early loves that only I was aware of) Muscle beach with Harvey Lifsey and Dick Getzelman. The Charles Atlas’s of our day. Many a great time was had at Santa Monica pier. The roller coaster and few other places that come to mind.

How about those Easter Vacations at Balboa. Many wild times were had. There was Corky Schneider in his 1930 something Chevy and the rest of us in our model A’s There was Kenney Nesheim, Cal Drake, Bob Ashline, Walt Schreiner, Chuck Mock, Al Powell, Connie Conover and a few of the lesser rowdy crowd were also present. How alive we were.

Then there was the spice of life the ladies. Marcia, Sharon, Mary (The brat), Janice, Juanita Payton, Pat Smallcomb, Gwen Evans, Bev Schultz ( the quiet but cute one), Pat Koestner ( loved her energies), Dalton Klepper ( That gal could dance) and so many more. All the wonderful ladies which were really the bright spots in the guys lives. We were too busy or too dumb to realize it. Our apologies ladies.

The school administration and teaching staff to which we owe so much. Bob Kelly, One of the finest men I ever knew. He left a real impression on me. In more than one way. John Shepard, The drill sergeant. Did you ever see him smile? I don’t remember if they were Miss or Mrs. My personal nemesis was Hatcher. As hard as she tried she couldn’t teach me anything. Then there was Carpenter, Hill and my favorite If You Can’t Beat Em Cheatham. She was really under the impression she could teach us kids about life when we already knew it all. Didn’t we? The coaches Elmore and Berry were a lot more than coaches. The guys could go to them with all sorts of problems. Today they would be fired for talking to us the way they did. We all came away better men because of them. I didn’t know much about the lady’s coach so I will have to leave that subject to the gals

I know we owe all of the above principals and teachers much more than we can ever repay. We were fortunate to have the caliber of people we had teaching us.

And then came graduation. We were going to be turned loose on the public. Some to go to work, some to college, and some into the various military services. To those who went into the military and didn’t return I salute you.

I feel we grew up in a time where we learned the value of family and friends. We learned to respect others and their property. Since we were all depression babies we probably learned early on the value of a dime. World war two took us into a period of our lives where we faced confusion, separation from loved ones, loss of loved ones, rationing.

I think we grew up to be very responsible people and I am proud to call you my friends.

The Desert Rat, Chet Piolatto

Retired Physician Martha Hoover Class of 52 married fifty years ago this June. After retiring from active clinical practice in '92, I became Medical Director for Community Hospital of Long Beach, then a three hundred bed hospital. I retired in late '96 and soon became the volunteer chairman of the hospital foundation. The hospital was closed by its new owner, Catholic Health care West. We raised the sufficient funds to restart as an independent stand alone hospital. We were successful and it is still alive and growing slowly in the East Long Beach area.. We then decided that it was time to move closer to one of our two kids. Mark, 47 lives with his wife and four kids in San Diego, still part of the metropolitan scene. Our daughter Ann lived in Eureka CA with her husband and two kids. We had visited them many times through the last 14 years and finally we found a home in Trinidad, a magnificent seaside village in Humboldt County about twenty miles North of Eureka. Naturally we had to find a new church, new dentists and physicians. I have joined a local Rock band called the Rockin' Rangers and play harmonica, banjo and do a few vocals. We have performed three times in a local night club.. It is a lot of un to practice. Martha and I both work out in a physical therapy gym three times a week. It is cooler and wetter up here but you get used to it and the population density is far more to our liking.. I don't see well enough to play golf any more and Martha does all the driving. We have joined several clubs here to get to know more people.. Now when we go south to visit, we can hardly wait to get back to the Redwood Curtain. It is like living in the mountains at the beach.. Hope this helps you understand where we are and why we moved. Cheers, Schu---	Schumacher, Robert 295 Westgate Dr., Trinidad, CA 95570 707-677-3787
