Sitting in the quad and
watching people at lunch. Going to and from school with
such nice friends. Having a boyfriend. My German Teacher
fropping her pen on purpose, so the boyswould pick it up
for her. Archery, Tennis, and science experiments.
Telling my Political Science what political party he
was, because he was so obvious. Senoir cut day in Santa
Cruz, Senior prom, and a sweet date. The sun and how
exciting it was on graduation day! Class of 73.

I remember a fake soviet
agent coming to campus and turning into a America the
great speech after everyone booed the original
propaganda. I think it was Peabody's class.

In 1968 I participated as a
member of the Lynbrook Symphonic Band at the annual
California Music Educator’s Competitions. Upon finishing
our performance one of the three adjudicators stood up
and addressed us with the following statement “Your
symphonic band being conducted by Rocco DiStasio an
Italian, performing flawlessly La Forza Del Destino
composed by Giuseppe Verdi an Italian, and adjudicated
by me (I forgot his name) also an Italian, so how could
you not be awarded a Superior rating for this
outstanding performance?” (the only one awarded that
year)! This statement was followed by a standing ovation
from the audience comprised of other high school band
members and conductors. Also, that following spring the
Lynbrook band had a record 33 students (nearly every
member of the band) and 11 first chairs in the Santa
Clara Valley Honor Band and the maximum number of 6
students allowed by a single high school (otherwise we
would have had many more) with 2 first chairs in the
California State Honor Band. I will always remember this
event and the great pride we all felt thanks to maestro
Rocco DiStasio our conductor and mentor! Being a part of
the Lynbrook symphonic band was truly an awesome and
memorable experience

Sneaking into Lynbrook in the
middle of the night with Bob Moore and painting a super
large '73 on the Quad floor. After the school
sandblasted it away you could still see '73 etched in
the floor for a long time after.
