I've always been a great admirer of PAPA so when I first conceived this web site I hoped their great sound and energy could be a part of it. I adapted an original song written by Chris Trevison for the BEACH BUMS alias STEAMERS entitled, "The Ultimate Wave". I hoped they might do this for tinalumni.org. Knowing that only two of the original members are currently performing with PAPA I felt my chances were, at best, very slim of getting them all back together again to do the recording. After getting in touch with them to my great surprise and delight they volunteered their services. 

As I continued working on the web site I forgot about their promise. I, at one point, got very discouraged. Things just weren't falling into place and I thought of abandoning any hope of CHSAAA becoming a reality. At this fateful juncture I received a Federal Express package from PAPA member Jim Armstrong. It was "The Ultimate School" CD. As I played it, and played it and played it my CHSAAA batteries were completely recharged. Their beautiful rendition was all I had hoped it would be and more. It gave me faith that CHSAAA would also be all I hoped for. I'll never be able to thank PAPA enough for the faith they provided me at this critical juncture. PAPA has since also produced   the TINO adaptation of their classic Gold Record "Be True to Your School" which is part of their bio in the Cupertino Cavalcade.

PAPA  not only pledged their best to CHSAAA but fulfilled their pledge and so much more. By becoming a member of CHSAAA you too will fulfill a much needed pledge to your alma mater. I know, like PAPA, many of you will want to get more deeply involved than that. If that's the case then contact us right now. I sincerely feel that Cupertino High School alumni will answer this call as no other school alumni would or could. We at CHSAAA welcome you with open arms and pledge you will reap much joy and satisfaction from your generous contributions to our cause.

Mr. Bill Boggie
