Biblical
Aromatherapy
by Robert Bike 
The Bible mentions about 232 plants by name, or closely enough to figure out what plant is meant. Of these, 24 are aromatic plants; that is, parts of the plants can be pressed or distilled to get an essential oil. Essential oils are the lifeblood of plants and have tremendous healing capabilities. The
healing power of plants is the basis for modern medicines. Originally published in manuscript form in 1999, I completely revised the book and added illustrations. To order
Biblical Aromatherapy in paperback, List price $24.99; introductory offer $19.99 To order the pdf version and download to your computer or phone, The electronic version is only $2.99! |

Roger Hayes, a 1965 graduate of FHS, played guitar & sang "Sentimental Journey", included photos from this website and from a real photographer, Dennis Schmidt, and put the compilation on YouTube.
And here's some Freeport teachers on You Tube!
Freeport Pretzel Mark Hollis, Class of 1999, qualified for the 2008 & 2012 Olympic Trials held here in Eugene. Here's some videos Mark in his event, the pole vault.
Two other athletes with Freeport connections competed in the 2012 Olympic Trials. Maggy Infeld ran the 1500 meters and her sister Emily Infeld ran the 5000 meters. Their father Michael is a 1976 Pretzel.
Here's a history of the Nomadds, a legendary Freeport band, written by Lee Garner.

Pretzels
I saw on classmates.com a few years ago that 19 people from my class, 1966, had joined. While they do a fine job of keeping track of thousands of people, I didn't think they should have a monopoly on our class. So I created this page, which links to a Yahoo group where we can keep track of each other for free!
You
can access our group using the link below or from the Yahoo! Groups "My
Groups" page.
Group name: 66pretzels.
Group home page: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/66pretzels.
Group email: 66pretzels@yahoogroups.com.
To join, you must have a Yahoo account, which automatically gives
you an email account of unlimited size!
In August of 2006, I went to my 40th high school reunion.
On this page and the four following pages are photos of Freeport High School and from that reunion.
Photos are of classmates, spouses, mothers, a teacher, and various others who happened by, including a former President of the United States (POTUS). I recognized very few of us. Whenever anyone new would walk in, the rest of us would say, "Who's that?", then when we'd find out who it was, we'd say, "Oh, wow!" I'll identify those I remember and as I have time.
There are some un-labeled photos. If you can let me know who is shown in the photos, I'll label all of them.
Sherry
Ingram helped with the identification. If we got your name spelled right,
and we got you identified properly, thank Sherry. If we blew it, blame
me. If you have changes, email me at .

these links to see photos of the reunion.

Intricate detail work on the brick & tile mosaic.
I've seen a lot of high schools in my travels, but none compare to the beauty and intricacy of the work at Freeport High School. Notice the spiral columns with intricate tops, the arched bricks, and the pretty tile work.
Did we pay any attention to this beautiful brick work when we attended high school?

magnificent tower atop Freeport High School.
Have any of you been up there?
Freeport High School viewed from the east. The football field used to be a deep bowl, with the track running around the outside. The "Pretzel Bowl" is gone, and the track is in front of the stands. The football team has continued our winning tradition in recent years.
