IN THIS ISSUE:

Another Friday has rolled around, and it's again time for the weekly letter. Who would have thought that after all these years there would still be enough stuff that would interest over 300 people getting this letter. I appreciate all your wonderful input and help in gathering enough information every week to put this thing together.

Just to keep you all up to date, I've been approved for gastric bypass surgery to lose weight. For those of you who didn't see me at reunion last year, I currently weigh almost 350 lbs and I'm 5 feet tall. I weighed 135 at the 20th reunion in 1985. I will let you know my progress. Right now, I'm doing all the before surgery tests to ensure I'm healthy enough. If any of you out there have had this type of surgery, I'd love to hear from you. The more input the better. Please write to me at bhulse47@yahoo.com. If I pass the tests, I will having the surgery in 4-6 weeks. While I'm recuperating, Bev Shulster Beiman '65, will be taking over the weekly letter. I will put all contact info in beforehand so you can reach her with photos, etc. Thanks Bev for volunteering to do this for me.

Our thoughts and prayers for Louise Lovett Watson,'66, whose son Richard is in the hospital. He is battling a bad case of pneumonia. We wish him a swift recovery. You can write to Louise at Louiselovett48@aol.com .

Diana Rhodes Fisch and Reunion Committee 1966 Class Reunion Coordinator

As mentioned before, the Friday night party will start at seven vice eight. An extra hour to mingle with old friends. Diana Rhodes Fisch says, "We have a great class and our previous reunion Committees have kept us together all these years. With this head start, this years' committee hopes to keep the tradition going and have a HEATWAVE of the best fun yet. We're going to have a nostalgic evening of seeing old friends, hearing songs from the 60's (we may even do the stroll and if any of you still can...the Pony) and we will be drawing names all night for some great free gifts. At midnight we have two Grand prizes to be given away! Our Friday night cocktail party is a no host bar and an excellent time to catch up on the past years. It will be in the Quarterdeck Room at the Radisson. On Saturday, the dinner/dance will open for registration at 6:00PM and maybe a little earlier. Please come early to get your name tag, registration packet and get your pictures taken. The mini yearbook will be in color this year and the price is $20.00. It will be one of the best souvenir keepsakes commemorating our fabulous 36 year reunion. Reserve your copy by adding $20.00 to your reservation request. We promise that the picture taking will be fast and efficient because we want to get the program started by 7:00PM. For any of you who would like to showcase their business or trade, please think about putting an ad in the mini yearbook for $25.00 for a business card size ad. Be sure to take advantage of our "Early Bird" special for your dinner reservations. If you return your reservation by September 7th, the cost is $60.00 per dinner. After that date, it will be $66.00 per dinner and the cutoff date for registration will be on October 1st. Sunday brunch has been set up so that we can get together and relax with old friends on a more personal basis, before we have to say "Goodbye" to a great weekend that went far too fast. This is something that you can do on your own, at any place you would like or to meet in the dining room at the hotel. Our committee will have a list of places available that are nearby and easy to find. Even if you get together in small groups and meet for breakfast, it will mean that we have succeeded in completing a full weekend of great memories and time to exchange emails and phone numbers to keep in touch with each other. Print this message and tape it to your wall so that you don't forget!!!!! This is one reunion that you don't want to miss! Invitations will be sent during the first couple of weeks in August. If you do not receive one, please contact me right away. Keep me informed anytime that you change your address or email so that I can keep the roster updated for this reunion and those to come. Don't forget to visit our Reunion Web Site at . The sooner you reserve your room at the Radisson Marine Hotel, in Berkeley, the better. There will be a UC Berkeley home game and possibly baseball playoffs that weekend, so the room numbers are limited. When you call to reserve your room, MAKE SURE you get a confirmation number! The committee will be monitoring the number of reservations made to determine if more rooms will be needed. The room rate is $119 per night, but you must say you are with the OHS Class Reunion of 1966 to get the rate. If you do not get that price, contact Diana immediately at ladydi@thegateway.com . Lu Cagaanan Maggioria says to check the Radisson site on-line. They often have deals where you can reserve the room cheaper. You have to check by often as the "deals" change quickly. Send your bio's and pictures to Arnie Tong so he can add them to the 1966 site. Check out the Class of 66 website at . Arnie's address is stoof@alum.calberkeley.org

The Class of '67 will be having a reunion on November 2, 2002 at the Lake Merritt Hotel (Clarion), 1800 Madison Street, Oakland, from 6 pm to Midnight. The cost is $75 per person. There will be a photographer there to take photos. Right now there is no yearbook planned, but that may change. There is more info about it on the message board at Classmates. For reunion info write to Judy Gee Sue at jkgsue@aol.com . Roberta (Bobbie) Markle Uhland is still trying to get all the Medallions together before the reunion to catch up.

1874 Clara Hawley www.oocities.org/bevshul/OHS/1874Wall.htm
1912 Charles Donald Shane www.oocities.org/bevshul/OHS/1912Wall.htm
1976 Boni Boyer www.oocities.org/bevshul/OHS/76Wall.htm

There is a little story behind Clara Hawley, sent in by Richard Tan, '65. He went to visit Ardenwood Farm in Fremont. Its a historical farm that dates back into the 1850's. In the house he saw a diploma dated in 1874 for the wife of the farm owner, Mr. Patterson. At that time Oakland High was the only proper high school that accepted woman students. So this woman Clara Hawley Patterson went to Oakland High school. Rich says it was the oldest diploma he'd seen from Oakland High mounted on the wall in the house.

Class of 1882
Frank S. Merriam
Governor of the State of California, 1934-1939
22 Dec 1865 - 25 Apr 1955
89 Years Old

Frank Marriam, Governor of California during the Great Depression, had a stormy administration in Sacramento during tumultuous times. Actually, when have times not been tumultuous?

Excerpt from the NY Times Obituary, April, 1955:

"During Mr. Merriam's term as Governor, the state was racked with trouble growing out of the depression, the influx of the "Okies" and "Arkies" in the days of the Townsend plan and other early pension movements and the Communist infiltration of the West Coast Waterfront.

"A Republican, a conservative and an elderly man -- he was 68 when elected Governor -- he fought off and defeated the New Deal at first, but was finally worn down and overwhelmed by it. Retiring to cultivate his peach orchard he gradually dropped out of the national political picture.

"... In 1910 he went to Long Beach, where he worked for twelve years on the advertising staff of The Long Beach Press. He was one of Calvin Coolidge's state campaign managers in 1924; in Herbert Hoover's 1928 campaign he was state central committee chairman.

"Mr. Merriam became known in the Twenties as a hard worker and an exponent of economy and served five terms in the State Assembly, with two terms as Speaker and a term as State Auditor, before being elected Lieutenant Governor in 1930.

"He became governor on June 2, 1934, when the incumbent, James Rolph Jr. died. As Governor, he was quickly plunged into a controversy of nation-wide interest by the calling of the 1934 longshoremen's strike, which soon developed into a general strike.

"Governor Merriam called out the National Guard to protect the public and keep it supplied with food during the strike. He also went on the radio, charging that the workers were being exploited by Communists. The general strike was soon called off.

"That fall, Mr. Merriam was elected for a full term as Governor, defeating Upton Sinclair, the writer and former Socialist, who had won the Democratic nomination. This was one of the most bitterly fought political campaigns in the history of the country."

Governor Merriam was an 1882 classmate of Franklin Knight Lane, U.S. Secretary of the Interior, 1913-1920 under Woodrow Wilson.

I love getting emails. All the forwarded jokes and stories are great. My favorites are the housekeeping hints.

Heloise has great stuff. I also love the ones about Cocoa Cola. Did you know you can clean your toilet with coke? You can also clean your stove and windows. The Highway Patrol carries Coke to wash blood off the road after an accident. It can be used for all kinds of cleaning. Stove, sidewalks, stains. It cleans your pots and pans right down to the finish.

Seemed like a good idea to me, so I put in an order for 12 cases of Coke, and when it was delivered, my neighbors asked me if I was planning a party.

"Nope," I replied. "Cleaning Supplies."

My neighbors now think I'm insane and will cross the street to avoid contact with me. All within my larger plan of alienating people who MIGHT possibly visit thus requiring me to clean.

You have to be prepared. You never know when you might have to use Coke to clean up blood on the kitchen floor after an accident. My father-in-law is not yet used to seeing Coke floating in the toilet, or pans soaking in the sink full of Coke. The concept of quick and easy clean up just doesn't get through to him. At least not with Coke.

Have you ever had Coke in a paper cup? If you leave it sit long enough, it will start to climb up the side of the cup. Seriously. It also eats through meat. Pour a coke on a piece of meat and see what happens. Well, okay, you might have to wait a while for that one to happen, but it's true. So, if it eats through meat, what does it do for your stomach?

We've already established in previous stories that I am not the world's best housekeeper and cook. My daughter knows this. She sent me an article on how to clean your house in less than 30 minutes when company is coming. The article does not seem to break it down enough for me.

"Your house is a mess and company will be there in 30 minutes. What do you do?"

My first place to stash stuff is the hall closet. It's one of those closets with a door that pushes shut, without a turning knob. I guess I have finally over-filled that spot. The other night, while watching Stir of Echoes, knowing I was going to scare myself, I started to hear a sort of groaning sound. I turned down the sound and kept listening. It was coming from the closet. Well, there was no way I was going to get up to see what was making the noise, so I crawled down under my trusty blanket and hid. Then I heard the sound again. As I looked, the closet door started to open ever so slightly. Crap. The blanket went back over my head!

Eeeeeeeeeeeee. The door squeaked as it continued to open. In the dim light I couldn't see what it was and I was too scared to get out from inside the blanket. The next thing I know, the door is wide open and the insides of the closet are crashing into the hallway! I guess the closet is sort of like that game where you pile on as much as you can until it falls. Well, I lost. Not only did I have to get up and put it away, I also had to find new spots for some of it. I flipped from the scary movie to Cartoon Channel and began cleaning it up. It's amazing where you can stash stuff!

Her article suggests using your oven as a hide-away for dirty dishes, clothes (minus underwear and shoes I would hope), or anything else you want to get out of sight. It is 9 sq feet of hiding room. In addition to this, I've found the washing machine, dryer, freezer, microwave and dishwasher also provide hiding space during a surprise guest crisis.

Note: I don't recommend clothes in the oven. I had hidden some shirts in there and forgotten about them and later threw in a cooking bag full of chicken. After setting off all the fire alarms in the house and alerting all the neighbors to my stupidity, laziness, and cleaning secrets, the Fire Department and the landlord did not see the humor in it. Do you see a pattern here? All my stories seem to include a visit from the Fire Department. It's bad when the Firemen start calling you by your first name. Very bad.

Another tip. Don't put food in the dryer. Especially popcorn. Don't ask why. Trust me on this one. You'd think I would have learned from the Thanksgiving Turkey episode when my kitchen exploded into a mass of popcorn and hard boiled eggs. No. I'm a slow learner. Definitely don't hide chocolate in anything that emits heat. I forgot to take a Hershey bar out last time I used the dryer as a hiding place. While it definitely gives your clothes a sweet chocolaty smell, the brown stains it leaves are not pretty to say the least.

My daughters article suggests keeping a dust ruffle on your bed to hide all this things you've managed to squeeze under there. That's well and good. Additionally, I use the Master Bath. Company's not allowed there, and you can fit anything from dirty clothes to extra furniture. Begin by filling up the shower or bathtub first and work your way toward the door, leaving enough clear space to SHUT the door, so that should you give a tour of the house to your guest, your master bedroom appears spotless.

Dusting. Well, we all know that's not my best thing. The article suggests dusting AROUND articles, and not under them to save time. Not me. I have a huge industrial fan like the ones the Fire Department uses. In fact, I got the idea during one of their "visits" to my house. It is on all the time. It keeps the air circulating so that dust has no chance to settle. Ergo, no dust. Time it takes to turn on fan - one second. Tip: you need to keep your TV at the highest possible sound level in order to hear. Tie or tape down anything that may be blown around by the fan like pillows, papers, knick knacks. Duct tape is great for this. Be prepared to always have that wind-blown look in your hair. Make sure your plastic beverage cups have lids.

Dishes. The article suggests using paper plates, plastic silverware and cups. I do, but it doesn't stop there. I cook everything in foil, so that none of the pots and pans get dirty and greasy. Meat is prepared in throwaway cooking bags. Potatoes and vegetables do fine in there also. I use throw-away aluminum pans and throw-away Ziploc bowls. Also, Barbequing is another way to keep mess out of the house. Actually, I HAVE to use throw-away stuff because my dishwasher is full of junk I've hidden in there.

Leftovers. Better to throw everything out every night, but if you can't bring yourself to do that, replace the refrigerator light with air freshener. That way when you open the door you'll get a whiff of spring fresh air, and not the spoiled tuna casserole. Keep all leftovers in throw-away containers, so that with the swoop of an arm you can clean a shelf of old food. Voila. It's clean again. Very effective.

Lighting the house. The article suggests low, low, low light to hide dirt. I agree. Pitch blackness works well too. Keep the curtains open to let in the moonlight. Light a fragrant candle to hide any unusual smells that might be lurking, and then tell your guests what a romantic you are.

Vacuuming. The article suggests using the vacuum only around tables and furniture. A good idea. How many guests lift up your couch to see if it's clean underneath? I use a Shop Vac. It has a large enough hose that I can knock messy crap off the tables and the Shop Vac sucks it right up. You can suck up every thing from old French fries to parts of Subway Sandwiches and children's toys with that baby. I even sucked up my grandson's hamster with the Shop Vac. Poor thing won't come near me anymore. He was sitting on my table eating a sunflower seed when the Shop Vac took him on the ride of his life. My grandson can't even get him into his play ball now.

Keep Duct tape handy. You could fix the Space Shuttle with Duct tape. It's good for fixing hanging drapes, broken furniture, broken drawers, holding pictures on the wall, hemming clothes, fixing leaks, and broken windows. Ladies, why shave your legs? Stick on a piece of Duct tape and PULL! Good for just about anything. I keep a roll in every room for emergencies. If you should get hurt, a paper towel and duct tape make a great bandage.

Do you ever watch "Trading Spaces"? There is never anything in the drawers or closets. The beds are spotless underneath. Not even a pair of shoes. Real people store stuff under their beds. Real people have clothes in their closets. I can promise you they'd never be done in 2 days and $1000 in MY bedroom.

My son just called. He is coming over with his new girlfriend tonight. Guess I should go home and "clean" to make a good impression.
