Up date 9/12/09 Our reunion was a complete success with a great thanks to the hard working committee. Scott's pavilion was a good choice to meet Friday night. The indoor Picnic was a success at the Piedmont community center Saturday and was well attended. The food and entertainment was great and old friends enjoyed the old times they remembered.
We are looking foreword to the next one, hopefully in two years this time. Ms Roberts our old English teacher was at Scotts and everyone there was happy to see her again. The report by the Principal, Alicia.Romero, on the state of the present school was good to hear. She was presented with a picture of the old building similar to the one above that was to picture what the school would look like when it was originally built.
It was so good to see and meet some of the old friends we remembered back then and how much we have changed over the years. Thinking back to those days, we would never have thought we would look as old like we do today. The thing I kept thinking, was how old everyone looked when I still felt so young. You are only as old as you are in your heart. Then there are some that never change and some that even looked younger, life is strange.
It was also good to know that we were all successful in our own way and the memories have taken on new meanings. The friendship and reunion in this day after all the competitions are over made this reunion special again. Looking back at the stress of competition and stress we went through in the 50's just to be accepted and now it does not matter, we are all in the same boat.
Updated today after the 2009 reunion; sorry for not keeping this page updated as I should. If any of you have comments to make Email me and I will add them to this page.

The Aegis
All you OHSers out there!
EDITED (9/11/09) The Aegis was in trouble! Paul August, the
advisor, needs to raise 6000 dollars to keep the Aegis for this school year.
That amounts to NINE issues. Note this has passed and they are back in business. Previously, the paper was printed at
Folger Graphics in Hayward--Paul now says he thinks he can get a better deal
closer to home. He's been at OHS since 1988, advisor to the Aegis all that
time, and from '88 to '96 he was the Oaken Bucket advisor as well. The Oak
Leaves is still in production as well at about 100 pages. Both the Bucket
and the Leaves are self-sustaining. The Aegis is published once a month,
EIGHT pages. Journalism no longer satisfies the English requirement for Cal
or any of the state u's. It is an elective humanity course only. Even at
that, the class is 25 kids. Do you realize that we had close to 300 people
at the 2001 Class of 65 reunion, and Oakland High only GRADUATED 265 people
last year?? To have 25 kids take AEGIS as a class is a big cut of that
number. WE CAN'T LET THE AEGIS DIE! It's been
around for over 100 years. Paul August is going to try to hold a benefit
concert to raise some of the money. He is part of the band putting on the
concert. My friends, I appeal to you to donate what you can to save the
Aegis. Perhaps in this next year someone can find a way to keep it funded,
but for now, our school needs help from us. Even 5, 10, or 20 dollars would
help. It adds up. If ten people gave 20 dollars, it would be 200 less
that would have to be raised. I'm not one to campaign for donations, but
this is a way to help our school. The Aegis was a constant. We looked
forward to every issue. Remember how cool it was to see your name in the
paper? Most of us could afford a few dollars to keep our beloved Aegis
going. Just yesterday, one OHSer on our
newsletter list who prefers to remain anonymous, donated a little over
500 dollars to the Aegis fund. I am going to start sending all the CD
yearbook money, (above postage) to the Aegis fund (so keep ordering CD
yearbooks!). Most of us could afford a few dollars to keep the Aegis
going. Another idea is for upcoming reunions to put out a jar for
donations for the Aegis during the reunion. I will also try to send a
similar letter out through classmates.com to all of the 7000 people
signed up for OHS.
This has been looked into and is on the
level. We can make out checks to Oakland High School Aegis, and mail them to
the school treasurer at 1023 Park Blvd., Oakland 94610. Paul August says the
Aegis has a separate account at the school itself. 3 signatures are required,
his, the current editor, and the principal. This is necessary to insure the
principal doesn't find another needy program to help. Previously, funding was
handled by Ken Epstein, director of public info, at the schools admin site--he
will not be handling this money.
Thanks for your help.
Hugs to all,
Bonnie original sender...
