Oak Trees Grow From Little Acorns

We've been getting some emails from classmates who like the idea of homeroom based photos, and of course, that begs the question of who the teachers were who had homerooms? In my experience, they are usually newer teachers first, then the tenured ones last. Anyway, everyone who has emailed us has struggled with their memories, and it made me think of the Reflections project which started all of this in the first place.

As you may remember, we had, well, still have, plans to republish the yearbook digitally, for those classmates who no longer have one but would like to again. Additionally, it might be useful for those of you who can't remember all the teachers. Well, needless to say, between the class directory, the April Get together, and then the Great 2010 Condo Drawing, the Reflections project got set on the back burner a little bit. Well actually, a lot. Well truthfully, it came to a dead stop half way through. In the interests of helping out with the homeroom memory situation, I will be posting the faculty pages on the website as soon as I can. With that little memory push, maybe we'll be able to compile the senior homeroom teachers and their students and their alphabetical breakdown a little more completely so we'll be prepared for the Reunion photos when the time comes.

For those of you who have only recently found out about the Condo drawing, $10 for a $2500 Condo for a week in Orange Beach AL, donated by Gary Malin. The tickets are available from Linda, Nancy, Patti and Tom and Bob Willis. But sales are almost done. Tickets must be bought and paid for by Monday August 1. The drawing is August 7, 2010, at Parkway Pizza, on Broadway just a little west of the levee. The winner must make arrangements with Gary to book the specific time within 60 days or forfeit the prize.

Shake those memory trees. Somewhere in there is the name of a homeroom teacher! Now close your eyes. Open your memory. You are sitting in homeroom. It is 1967. Let your memory look to the left and to the right. Who's that sitting there? In front of you, whose head are you looking at. Whose passing notes to you from behind your back?
