WARREN SCHOOL, SANTA CLARA, CUPERTINO SCHOOL DISTRICT

Dear Friends,  someohow in May of 2025, I lost this entire page from this website.  I need you to send me your memories and comments to rebuild this page.  All years, all teacher, all events, all memories are needed.  I'll need to redo the pictures and try to update the look.  HELP!!!!  Send your thoughts to: tallpinetree@att.net     I'll mix, fill, and edit to keep from over duplication.  It will be better than ever.  YOUR school will still be remembered.  If I lose this site, as long as I'm able, I'll get it up somewhere else.  Mr. Pine

    Emilio Roman was the first principal.  The school served the children from the Westwood Oaks neighborhoods, so that is the reason for the close "family" feelings we had with the school.  Emilio was a great principal. and I remember much love for him from parents and staff.  He hired me to support Ruby in the front office in Sept. 1968.  Later, he died from cancer.  Bert Gibbs became the new principal. He was there one year.  Sam Lawson came and was loved and respected by all. Ruby Buel, Barb Flynn and I have fond memories.

    I was in Mr. Pine's class for 4th grade. I learned to love reading in that class.  My brother, Pat, and I were in the Chess Club. It was my first exposure to chess, and I have so many, many other great memories.  Michael Craig

    We wore our Brownie uniforms to school on the day of our meetings. We visited the Bookmobile when it came from the big library, and we went to a dairy farm and the newspaper for fileld trips.  We learned to read with Dick and Jane and had a go at New Math.  We diagrammed sentences and wrote research reports at every grade level.  We had hamburger day: I thik from McDonalds, and netball tournaments at lunch.  Dan Frasier taught me how to hit a ball while playing baseball.  Miss Cook was our third grade teacher until she fell ill and lost her hearing. She was young and beautiful and allowed Cindy Mortensen to read us her Diaper Dan stories, which we third graders found hilarious!  Allison (Andress) Quick (fall 1965 to spring 1972)

Ted Engberg remembers Mrs. Ban from fifith grade. "Mrs. Ban was there between 70 and 72, I believe. . . a great teacher and quite beautiful, as I recall as an 11 year old.  Mr Lawson was very strict but also a good organizer.  I remember several student leaders were invited to his house for a backyard lunch.  He had the most amazing set up in his backyard: a basketball couort, a trampoline, ping pong tables, and other choices any kid would enjoy.  Those were good years for me at Warren School."

You must remember something from Warren School, Santa Clara.  Tell your classmates and help rebuild this page.  It is the only place to keep Warren School alive.  I need the link to Mr. Otts work on the buildings and plans.  Mr. Pine

Jim Canavan remembers:  my very first day of kindergarten.  Waliking into the room and meeting the nicest teacher anyone could have: Miss Flynn.  I remember all of my teachers fondly:  Mrs. Rugee, who taught us French, Mrs. Tunnell, Mr. Pine and the love of science that he instilled.  I remember kickball/basketball, the game we made up and played every morning, and soccer, always always soccer.  All in all it was a safe, exciting, postitive place, one that I know is still a foundation for the children who were fortunate enoough to experience it.

Karyn Mills (1972-1975) remembers: ". . . the big trampolines. . . gold stars from Mrs. Rugee. . . math workbooks from Mrs. Peak. . . a March of Dimes documentary with Mary Mimack. . . Taco Bell Day where you could buy Taco Bell tacos for 35 cents.  Being able to walk and ride my bike to and from school."  Field trips mentioned were to the Frito Lay Factory, Mission San Juan Bautista, and Alcatraz. 

My mother, Virginia Howe thaught third grade until I was in third grade.  I have fond memories in Rose Tyson's class singing  "on top of old smokey."  I remember Mrs. Rugee, Mrs. Peak, Mr. Doze and his aluminum yard stick.  Mr Gubler taught me how to read.  We were Mr. Pine's first class at Warren.  I remember his pants split during class, and hi wife had to bring him another pair.  Alex Howe.
