My Dad unexpectedly PCS'd us all to California a few weeks before graduation. So I went to a new school and graduated with a bunch of strangers. Ain't that military brat life tho! I consider myself a RoHawk forever.

Hi there,
My name is Ann Mitchell Jones, and I graduated in 1972. I think the Spanish teacher's name was Mrs. McCormick, but I certainly didn't have a favorite Math teacher! Except I do seem to remember one in the 8th grade that everyone loved! Yes, I was a Rohawk for a long time. I can't believe I just found this web site. Thanks so much putting it together for all of us.

Hi Ann,

Nunzio here. Great to see you found the web site. Close on the spanish teacher. Mrs. McCorkindale was there for quite a while. Were you thinking of Mr. Porter for the Math?

I also see where you registered to come to the reunion this year. It is shaping up to be our largest ever. Lot's of '72's are already signed up. It is going to be great to renew old friendships.

Hi Nunzio...so good to hear from you. You are right about Mrs. McCorkindale...I can't believe I forgot her name. And you were right again about Mr. Porter. That was his name. Who was the crazy Geometry teacher that we had? I saw on the registration list that Betty Jo was planning on coming to the reunion. I can't wait to see her and catch up again. Looking forward to seeing you again!

This Bulletin Board is getting hit very hard with spam, other unsavory posts and members who have less than honorable intentions.

I have been diligent about editing those things promptly, but sometimes the e-mail address is not-so-suspicious looking, so I don't delete it soon enough.

To help me out in this, when you sign up for a membership, please leave a post somewhere on this bulletin board or e-mail directly to me indicating when you graduated and a few choice items regarding your favorite math teacher, your favorite red headed Spanish teacher, the first name of "The Hunk", your favorite memory of JT's shop class (clamping the leads from the hand crank generator to Jon Russ's neck while he was sleeping in class and JT was in the dark room was fairly memorable!), what was the original color of the brick on the outside of the gym walls (and why it is no longer that color), the name of the bus driver/custodian who drove us to every game we ever went to, who stole the jerseys, was there really an alligator in the O-club pool, or Peggy Mc*****'s current address. Grin

If you do not know any of those things please feel free to adlib and let me know you really belong here!

If you get deleted and you really belong, re-register and/or e-mail me and I will get things right.

Sorry for the hassle, just want to keep this bulletin board around!!

Hi Nunzio - Sorry I haven't responded till now. As I recall a group of us got together with school staff during the summer of 62 to discuss school colors, mascot, etc. We decided to pattern the school after the AF Academy -- thus the blue and silver and lightning bolts on the football helmets (I assume those are still there!!). But we didn't want to copy exactly so we brain stormed for the mascot. I don't remember who actually came up with Rohawk, but the group decided on it as something that would be unique to the school. I don't remember who else was part of the decision. Hope that helps some. Cheers.

Post on facebook got me thinking (sometimes I set myself up). . . .class of 1974 . . .my sister linda class of '76 and younger brother Don class of '83 (I think) with Scott Baker.

Left Randolph and tried to play football at TLC in Seguin. . . you could measure my career in minutes .. . back to San Antonio where I worked in several restaurants and was the 1st Marine officer commissioned from UTSA. . .studied economics was on their student govt and became active with Ronald Reagan's campaign.

Flight school where I ran into LaFawn Cumaford. . one of those lovely randolph ladies who got cuter as she got further from HS.. .stationed in Hawaii (tough duty but someone had to do it).. .couple of WestPac deployments. . .got to see much of Asia and the Pacific. .took up scuba diving.. ..now living in Frisco Texas (north of Plano). ..married to Michelle with our 10 year old Travis who's a great kid . . .financial planner. .close to having a radio show and a book published. . . . our biggest hobby is working with the Iraq and Afghan Veterans Association and supporting our young veterans.

Linda got married to a great guy. ..she has a daughter and grandson .. .they live north of 1604 and she teaches

Don is a LtCol in the Marine Corps. . was literally one of the 1st Marines in Afghanistan . ..now is the CO of a reserve battalion and on the list for chickens this summer/fall. He is doing very well with his career Bronze Star 3 meritorious service medals. . .yea . ..I'm pretty proud of him .. . Don was one of the rare 12 year Ro-Hawks. . . .

Dad passed in 1979 2 weeks before I was accepted into the Marine Corps. . .mom still lives in the same house (down the block from the Chauret's) . .only house they ever owned. . ..she retired as a teacher but still is active volunteering and tutoring. .

Funny story. . . .Dave Weikel, Phil Williams and I had a small business going driving to Marble Falls and loading the trunk with coors beer then selling it in the parking lot of the Randolph O CLub .. . we could get $20 a case (we paid less than half that) from the pilots there.. . . you couldn't buy coors in SA at the time. ..

Things went well till we got pulled over by DPS. . .so much for that biz venture. . .
