A video sketch from John Axsom
Memories Of Hilltop High School Class of 1962
DOUBLE click onto the You Tube START button to run Video.
You will have to play it a second time in order for the video to
run smoothly. During the first run your computer is loading up
the streaming video, this causes the video to start and stop a few
times.
This is a video clip of the Hilltop High School class
of 2007 doing a PEP rally
in the amphitheater in back of the gym. The theme of the pep
assembly is
JAMES BOND....007. The reason this theme was picked is because
this is the
class of 2007 which shortens to 007. Take a look at what our next
generation
is doing at our school today. DOUBLE click on start button
to run video.
This video plays smoothly the first
time around.

VISIT JAMES BANNER'S WEBSITE. CLICK ON HIS PICTURE BELOW
Now, this is absolutely GREAT ! Everyone needs to watch this video that James Banner made with his older brother Harry Banner. Do you remember Harry Banner from the Hilltop Class of 1960. Harry played trumpet in the marching band. But, anyhow, Jim has created this autobiography video snapshot of his life growing up in Chula Vista. THIS IS A MUST SEE! The video editing is outstanding, Jim Banner should get an academy award. Click on the IMAGE LINK BELOW to watch Jim and his brother Harry discuss their lives growing up Chula Vista.

Click on the picture of Craig Higgs to visit his website. When Craig graduated from Hilltop, he entered law school, and passed his bar exam and is still practicing law in San Diego. Visit his webpage. Craig has a great looking website. I think he should have run for president back in 1994. Things would be better today if he had.

DOUBLE CLICK on the START button and watch the Chula Vista Jr. High School Marching band back in the 1950's, the Fiesta De La Luna Parade, the Lancer Marching Band, and even the Spartan Marching band. But, the best part at the end are the lancerettes, flag corps, and the baton twirlers. The best part of every football game was watching the baton twirlers at half time. |
| Double click on the START button and go back into time and check out the great cars that we grew up with while attending Hilltop High School. Check out Bob Hargrove's woody station wagon, Craig Higg's 58 chevy impala, Ronnie Hawkins 32 Ford Coup Hot Rod.....and Jerry Holmes' 1950 Studebaker. |

Year 2007 - La Bella Pizza House today: Do you remember all of the times you went to La Bella Pizza House with your friends. Maybe it was after a football game on a Friday night, or perhaps it was just a good place to take your date on a weekend. Photo supplied by Dennis Driscoll. Thanks Dennis. Wasn't there a little music record shop in that yellow store next to La Bella's Pizza GArden. I used to buy 45 RPM records there all of the time. I can't think of the name of that store...can you? If you can.... E-mail John: jaxsom@satx.rr.com And, wasn't Niederfrank's Ice Cream shop used to be located in the blue building next to La Bella's Pizza Garden? So, what was your favorite ice cream cone? Mine was "RAINBOW SHERBET". E-mail me your favorite ice cream cone. jaxsom@satx.rr.com

Year 2007 - Vogue Theater today: How many times did you stand in line to walk up to the ticket window and pay 25 cents so that you could watch 2 full length motion picture shows of Johnny MacBrown and Bob Steele, plus 2 cartoons. Remember sitting on the front row and getting a headache. Hey...remember sitting through those two full length movies and the two cartoons, and then walking outside into the bright sunlight. Those were the days. How about spending the entire saturday afternoon at the Chula Vista plunge which was 50 percent water and 50 percent chlorine. Remember how blood shot your eyes were because of all the exposure to chlorine and reflected light off of the water. Those were the days. By the way, the Vogue theater is closed today, everybody is watching YouTube...Ha ha ha ha ha... Photo supplied by Dennis Driscoll. Thanks Dennis. If anyone else has present day photos of Chula Vista, or photos from the past please E-mail them to John: jaxsom@satx.rr.com

CLICK TWO TIMES SLOWLY ON THE ARROW TO GET THIS VIDEO TO RUN.
Part One
of a 35 minute interview with Werner Prigge
This video clip is rather slow loading up. There are two ways to handle this. First, just let the video play through, and then the second time you play it the video will run smoothly. You have to let it load up in your computer first, before it will play smoothly a second time. The other method which is faster is to let it load for the first few minutes and then push the movement circle back to the beginning so that you can listen smoothly as the newer data streams into your computer.

COMING ATTRACTIONS:
VIDEO OF THE 20 YEAR CLASS OF 62 REUNION,
AND MANY MORE CLASSMATE PICTURES, WEBPAGES, AND VIDEOS.
| The next video project I am going to do is focused on the teachers that we had at Hilltop High School. What I want you to do is to think of a memorable moment that you experienced with a specific teacher back in High School. Maybe it was a word of encouragement, or perhaps it was some advice that was given to you. But, whatever it was.....E-mail me your experience and I would like to include it in the next video.
