James Newton Perdue

UCSD 1964 Urey Hall. In addition to me, (the nerdy looking guy on the far left), Fred Longworth, Bob Litchfield were in the original Freshman Class. Our 50th reunion is next year. Fred transferred out in his junior year.

Briefcases came and went during my college days and didn't become a fixture until I started seriously working.

They weren't popular at UCB as I recall and as evidenced by this 1966 photo of Sproul Plaza (by Ansel Adams no less)

The guy in the blue jacket in Newt's photo looks familiar for some reason. Anyone recognize him?

BTW according to the Star News, HHS graduated 415 on June 11, 1964.  I'm nnot going to fact check them right now, but I've always had a higher number in mind.

And since we haven't seen them (literally in years), here's Danny & Freddy

Since we're out La Jolla way

Further east (1961). What's the connection. Well she moved to Detroit which my parents had (thankfully) abandoned, right about the time I was busy being born in CV Community. Never met her.

Quiz answers: Raquel & Aretha 

Bruce Wilson

Getting back to those briefcases, as shown, profs (probably) used them (on your left, as they say on the slopes and bikepaths).  I haven't found any women carrying them yet. Maybe Schayne [sic] or Becky Rule?

Ludwig von Schwarenberg, German Short (in Berkeley?) Hair in the fountain which was frequently filled with dogs and/or soap bubbles. 

Soap, still no briefcases

One more Ludwig

This is a rare one. One of those "What's wrong with this photo" entries.  Telegraph ("spare some change") Avenue ending at Sather Gate.

As good as the Caltech score board prank, probably not.

Amazing sunsets from the Rad Lab above the campus

They did not take tinkering with the clock on the Campanile lightly.

Joseph Raso Shot this pic in 1955 Looking north on 3rd Ave right after his parents opened La Bella Pizza

Bruce Wilson

Thanks Newt.

The video by Joe has been on here for a while, but I have never seen the photo with no buildings on the south next to La Bella. My first memory is a sporting goods store there. I wonder if the House of  Music building existed then.

I think I observed at the time that this video contains what may be the only footage of Bill's Drive In in existance.

The photo store on the north is still there and they have been doing the high school annuals almost forever. I stopped in and talked to them one day.

Secondly, that sure looks like a Nesbitt's logo below the Coca Cola sign

The Berkeley photos got me to wondering what ever happened to the 'math whiz' who lived in the student CO-OP  at Berkeley when I did.

So I looked him up. He participated in the William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition and was one of only two who solved all twelve problems in 1967, making him a Putnam Fellow.

What I remember was that he was a genius mathematician and that he was deathly afraid of dogs, the former was a good thing to be in Berkeley in the sixties, the latter not so much. 

He got his Ph.D. from UCLA in 1992. Why the interval? I don't know.

Works for Microsoft now and does stuff like: 

A heterogeneous computing environment to solve the 768-bit RSA challenge

Finding ECM-Friendly Curves through a Study of Galois Properties

On the Security of 1024-bit RSA and 160-bit Elliptic Curve Cryptography

I'd venture to say that he went a bit further down the mathematical road than any of us here.

Putnam  Competition question from 1953. I haven't located 1967 (yet).

Show your work.

Standing: Madeline Bazzel, Nancy Kuebler, Christine Gardner, Linda Tatreau, Martha Smith, Teresa Madden, JoEllen White, Joy Miller.  Sitting: Lyn Iwashitta, Gail Grosvenor, Cathy Anderson, Sandra Harris, Tika Morgan, Janis James, Evelyn Saks.

Bruce Wilson

Thanks for the photo memories Linda.   A few names I didn't recognize.

I am especially glad to see Evelyn Saks, the first girl I ever had a crush on. A  Mankato/Whitney* gal who seemed to have disappeared after elementary school.

It reminded Michele of playing jacks.  I don't know who these kids are, but they are purported to be eight years old playing jacks in the fifties.

A couple more. Michele says she used a golf ball instead of the rubber ones.

Treasa Struble (Skiles)

I remember playing jacks with a golf ball. It gave a better, more controlled bounce than the rubber ball. The golf ball belonged to my friend, Jean Ann Kym, who died much, much too young, and her father was not be pleased that we used his golf balls for jacks. Thanks for sharing the picture of your Brownie Troop, Linda.

And speaking of those dairies and markets {1956}.

You can now place both GOLD ARROW and MAYFAIR MARKET Prudential' Stamps in your Gold Arrow Book and cash them in with any Gold Arrow merchant for the merchandise of your choice. It pays to save Gold Arrow Stamps.

Return with us now to those thrilling daze of yesteryear, when Putsy was a mere co-editor and hadn't even been elected Queen yet and I was about to get run off by The Bull at El Rancho de Walter..

This is for Claudia just in case she happens by. It was a bit of a shock for ya wasn't it darling.

Some of you may have recognized Bob Dylan back one post and being of enquiring minds, wondered,

what ever became of Bob's faith and Chritsmas celebrations?

A little accompaniment for the San Diego panorama back a wayz. Local HHS boy, Tom Waits at the San Diego Folk Festival, 1974.

Does he play this thing? Most likely it's Jack Sheldon playing below with Tom & Crystal..

From the 1966 HHS page. Not sure why these are locked.

Tom and Time Waits for no one, I saw him on PBS in March and a replay last night DVR'd it..

Rickie Lee Jones worked at our restaurant and he dropped by and came to her solo concert at the Santa Monca auditorium. Where is he now? Will check YouTube

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Happy Holy Days to All and may the New Year bring everyone great JOY.

Bruce Wilson

Happy Greetings to all, including Mr. Waits who lives up near Seattle and/or Sebastopol and values his privacy..

Day before Chritmas [sic - it's an old story] and I've come down with a case of Cubital Tunnel Syndrome, which I had never even heard of until today.

One of the therapuetic exercises. You must be some kinda yogic superstar if you can manipulate your hand an arm like this.
