Byline: Joanne Pepiak Education Columnist

TEHACHAPI - Tehachapi High School classes of 1960 through 1969 will hold a joint reunion Aug. 3 at the West Park Activity Building, 410 West D. Street.

Festivities will begin at 3 p.m. and photography sessions and dinner, with choice of steak or chicken, are at 6 p.m., said coordinator Karen Vukich.

Tickets are $25 a person and admission includes the meal, dancing and a memory book to be mailed to alumni a few weeks after the reunion, Vukich said.

A tentative deadline for purchasing tickets has been set for Aug. 1, she said.

Dress for the event is casual and local disc jockey Allen Centanni will play primarily '60s music throughout the evening.

Reunion committee members still are trying to locate about 80 people and about 300 out of 700 former graduates have registered to attend the party, Vukich said.

Response, so far, is considered to be good, but coordinators asked anyone knowing the whereabouts of former students who graduated during the '60s to contact Vukich by phone at [phone], fax at [phone], or mail information to the ``60s Reunion Committee,'' 787 West Tehachapi Blvd., Tehachapi 93561.

PALMDALE - Buena Vista School students still are striving for their goal of collecting 1 million aluminum pop-top rings from soda cans.

About 67,000 more rings are needed to complete the project, said PTA President Cathy Dougherty.

Rings will be used to help students work math problems, perform weight and measurement tests and other similar experiments, Dougherty said.

Plans for reaching the one-million mark also include contacting the Guinness Book of World Records and burying Principal Greg Carey under the rings, she said.

Students help keep a running total of the rings and each class has a coffee can in the library to hold the collection, Dougherty said.

Other products with aluminum pop-tops include some pet food cans and canned meats.

Anyone can drop off rings to the Buena Vista Library at 37230 37th St. E., or call Dougherty at the school, [phone].

PALMDALE - The Palmdale High School Academic Booster Club will hold a one-day baseball card and comic book show Aug. 10 from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the school cafeteria, 2137 E. Ave. R.

Admission is $1 and door prizes will be given away throughout the day, said booster representative Dan Lintemoot.

Vendor spaces are available at $30 for one table and $25 each when two or more tables are rented, he said.

Proceeds, which benefit Palmdale High School academic programs, activities and student awards, come only from the rental of spaces; vendors take home profits of all sales, Lintemoot said.

For more information on the card and comic show or to rent a space, call Lintemoot at [phone].

PALMDALE - The Palmdale High School Falcon Pageantry Corps and the Antelope Valley Bird Club will hold a flea market Aug. 17 in the football field parking lot.

The event will run from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. and admission, parking and viewing of special displays designed to attract business will be free, said PHS Band Booster President Dan Lintemoot.

Bird Club representatives will have a variety of birds on display for sale, he said.

The Dukes Car Club will have a classic car show on the premises.

Vendor spaces are available for $10 and $20 for community members wanting to sell garage-sale type items to make extra money, Lintemoot said.

Boosters benefit from proceeds of the vendor spaces, concession sales and the group also will have their own booth where they will be selling items donated by the community, he said.

Anyone interested in contributing rummage to the booster booth can call Lintemoot at [phone] and people interested in the types and price range of birds to be on display can call Suzi or Dave Eslick at [phone].
