Talk:Huntington Beach High School

message: :Darrell Stillwagon was the long serving Activities Director at HBHS. The auditorium didn't have that name in the early 70s. My guess is that they probably named it after he retired. 
:For the surfing program, there was a small program that was started when I was there, probably in 1969 or 1970 with Mr. Ortiz, the Biology teacher, as the coach. It wasn't a CIF sport, and there were probably less than a dozen SoCal schools with surf teams at the time. Because it wasn't a CIF sport, the surf team isn't even in the 1972 yearbook (same thing with the volleyball team that was started when I was there). BlankVerse 18:45, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Retired?  More like passed away.  He passed away three days before his retirement (as reported in Trailblazing).  He was also vice principal at the time.  But really...surfing and volleyball not CIF sports?  Huh.  I've always thought surfing was a staple of HBHS; I guess that picture int he office (bunch of boys around a boat) was a lifeguard class or something. - Hbdragon88 01:42, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I can't imagine Darrell Stillwagon as a school VP. He was way too easy going as an activities director. / Surfing was always a staple, it just wasn't a CIF sport. I can remember students sneaking out to surf during lunch break and coming to school in their wetsuits. BlankVerse 14:33, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Stillwagon's legacy is as Activities Director. Anyone who attended the school during his tenure remembers him well. Mr. Knight always talks about him, and I seem to remember having some article clippings lying around the archives. I'll pick those up this week as well. WesleyPinkham 02:50, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

text: I have some great shots lying around this hard drive somewhere, I'll find them...soon... Shots of the tile wall, the stone marquee on Main and tower shots without the lightpost in it on my Canon 350D, in addition to the bazillion scans from old yearbooks I have.

replies: text: I don't profess to have the best photography skills.  I've uploaded a new version that was taken from just outside the north entrance ot the office; the horitzon is straight, but the tower is crooked.  It looks much better, however. - Hbdragon88 21:28, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Formatting Concerns

message: If I remember correctly, everything was torn down except for the relatively new two-story science building (60s vintage?). If you have a copy of the '72 yearbook, look at the aerial photo on the inside covers. You may be able to figure out what's old and whats new from that photo.
Your best bet may be find a teacher or administrator that was around then. If anyone is still around, they are probably pretty close to retirement. Looking at my '72 yearbook, the youngest teachers look like Ben Rapp (art), Jinger Wallace (business), Patricia Lane, Bruce Moffitt and Susan Rederus (English), Marie Coots (Home Ec), Steve Setterlund (Math), and Karen Adams and James Ortiz (Science). Better still would be to find someone who graduated from HBHS and then returned as a teacher. BlankVerse 07:39, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Huh.  I swear that Mrs. Wallace and Ms. Lane were teachers last year.  Did they retire?  *is confused* - Hbdragon88 09:30, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  1970s: Remodeling 

message: Beyond the occasional vandalism of supposedly notable alumnus, there were a few left that I removed as questionability per WP:NOTABLE. The names removed were Quenby Hersh, Hank Conger, and a Stu Gillies/Drew Scott. I suppose I could address each of these individually.. Attempting to be fair (I was in the graduating class with two of these three names), these just don't pass the Google test, or the straight face test. Quenby and Hank were referred to as professional, despite still being students working their way up the ladder of their respective fields. Quenby was dancing with Royal Academy Ballet, a professional company, but does dancing with a professional company and winning the Youth American Grand Prix qualify as meriting an individual article? If you wish to make that claim, than it's worth hearing. Hank Conger was a first round draft pick by the Angels (25th overall) and is a top prospect. However, he's been injured for a major part of his minor league career. Again, maybe he deserves a page, but it's not an easy claim. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Wes!

thread_title:  Notability Claims 

message: I'm not sure if the paragraph on the 1992 wrestling season is notable enough for the sports section.  There have been other sporting achievements at least as notable as this.  Alanraywiki 14:55, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
