News References to Two Class of '87ers

It happened a few years ago and apart, as well as in a publication that is not widely read. In fact, I think hard copies are given away for free on the street. In any event, see here and here on the somewhat recent happenings of two lovely lady Saxons who, if I'm not mistaken, were members of the Student Council in high school.

Star Studded Reviews

So I'm doing a Google search for "North Torrance High School" and I run across a couple of websites where some people have written reviews of the school. Here's the first one on a site called Yelp, and here's the second one on InsiderPages.

All in all, the reviews are positive, though few.

Senior Class of 1987 (Part IX)

Pink and white ties. Pink and white coats. No doubt it was the 1980's. Or Miami. Or Miami and the 1980's.

4 to 1 odds that Peter Grogan (the guy in the pink coat/sweater) wasn't wearing socks when he took his picture.

Miss America and Miss USA 1987

Miss America was Kellye Cash from Tennessee, who has since "cashed" her title into a singing career.

Miss USA was Michelle Royer from Texas, who was the third of five consecutive Miss USA winners from that State.

I wonder if any ladies from the Class of '87 ever competed in a beauty pageant?

OK, Future Community Leaders: 1,2,3...Blink!

This is a yearbook photo of the North High School Associated Student Body Council™ for 1987. (Not everybody in here was a Senior).



See the first gal on the left in the bottom row (with her eyes closed)? She was one of the two chief editors of the yearbook. Maybe only one picture was taken or something...

Getting Close

Just a little more than 2 weeks away from the official 20 year reunion for the Class of '87. Excited? Going? Bueller?

Senior Class of 1987 (Part VIII)

Oh, no. P*rn mustaches AND mullets. Wrong. Just wrong.

North High Rocks and Torrance High Sux!

Our most famous alumnus, of course, is the near all powerful and subject of some of the funniest jokes you'll ever read or hear, Carlos ("Chuck") Norris.

Torrance High, on the other hand, was the fake West Beverly Hills High School in the prime time teen soap opera, Beverly Hills 90210. One of the main cast members on that show was Tori Spelling. Tori Spelling is a real life parody of Hollywood celebrities.

Googling Yourself

Come on, you know you do it. Nothing wrong with it, mind you, and not to say it happened here (feel free to say "hi" if it's you, though), but for the sake of full disclosure, this blog has a Site Meter account, and I like to check it every so often.

Senior Class of 1987 (Part VIII)

By now you should probably be able to sense that p*rn mustaches were quite popular with the guys. And did Ray intend to look like the Joker in a deck of cards?

Flashback: July 1987

Summer is in full swing, and a lot of us are kind of just hanging out with one another waiting for the next stage of our lives to start in the Fall. Meanwhile, here's a few significant things that happened in the world this month 20 years ago:

• President Ronald Reagan nominates Robert Bork, a Judge on the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, to the United States Supreme Court
• The first transatlantic hot-air balloon flight is successfully made
• After living under it for close to 40 years, Taiwan ends its rule of martial law.
• Appetite for Destruction, the breakthrough album for Los Angeles-based rock band Guns N' Roses, is released
• Lt. Col. Oliver North of the United States Marines Corp., and staff member of the National Security Council, provides testimony to Congress of his central role in the Iran-Contra Affair.

Senior Class of 1987 (Part VI)

Guess there must have been some sort of 1950's theme day going on when the big picture in the middle was taken. What are the odds that whoever thought of this idea is now an office or HR manager?

Also, p*rn mustache o-rama alert!



Correction: The big picture in the middle was taken on a Halloween.
