This website began in 1997 as a single page while planning was underway for the 40-Year Reunion of our high school class. It has been a resource for our classmates, and we hope you continue to find it helpful, interesting and informative.

The 63-Year Reunion was scheduled April 24/25, 2020 at Embassy Suites, Arcadia. Due to the pandemic, it was canceled.
You’re welcome to contact anyone on the committee if you have thoughts about another reunion or informal gathering, and would be willing to organize or help put something together. Contact information is in the Directory.
