Gala marks beginning of new era at CHS

April 02, 2013

From poignant to hilarious, the Claremont High School alumni gala ran the gamut. In celebration of the opening of the Don F. Fruechte Theater for the Performing Arts, the new high school theater played host to performances showcasing the talent of current and former students.

From Shaelynn Parker’s (CHS, ’74) soulful rendition of  “If You Walked into My Life” to Amy Clark’s (CHS ’09) heartfelt performance of “Home” from Beauty and the Beast, residents saw the best of the best from CHS theater on Saturday night at the new Fruechte Theater.

Chuck and Muriel Farritor of Claremont, who enjoyed a front row seat at the performance, have a deep connection to CHS theater.

“We were just delighted with the whole thing,” Mr. Farritor said. “We especially enjoyed Don [Fruechte] and the way he closed the show. He’s so low key. But he’s lived his whole life just that way.”

As part of the Take A Seat campaign, the Farritors purchased 3 seats in the renovated theater in memory of their son Tim, who died at age 35.

“Timmy felt the same as all the people who spoke at the show,” Mr. Farritor said.  “It was his home away from home.”

Tim and I first met in 7th grade at El Roble and became fast friends. Our friendship was such a light in the dark world of pre-teen, pre-pubescence; we could still be goofy kids together. Then I went to La Puerta and Girls Collegiate and didn't see Tim again until we were seniors at CHS.  We picked up where we left off and became very close. We spent a lot of time together cruising in his International, having a plethora of adventures, making the rounds picking up "ditch cards" out of mail boxes and laughing a LOT. He gave me a parakeet for Christmas that year.

I was heartbroken when I came across Tim's obituary in the Claremont Courier. I think of him often. He will always have a place in my heart and I will forever remember him smiling and laughing.
