![]() ![]() Now that we have the three yearbooks on-line, it is time to tackle a new project. A while back Tish (Mortimer) Cook proposed an idea to organize our individual high school pictures to show how we morph'ed through those years; and, then add a more recent picture. I have completed the first page so here is a sneak peek at our future THROUGH THE YEARS webpage. Although it may look like Sgt. Joe Friday's mug shot book, it should provide a few chuckles for the grand-kids. This will be a challenge equaling the yearbook project - for each of the 650 classmates we will need to crop, format, and upload three or four pictures. Which brings up your homework assignment. Everyone is encouraged to add a 'Since then...' photo to their line-up. You may email them, or send 'em to Jim Markestad, 27358 Nick Davis Road, Athens, AL 35613. I can scan your photos and return them. I plan to do them alphabetically, but if you send me a picture I will do your photo series right away. As always, your ideas, comments, or corrections are most welcome! | ||||

As we rush headlong into our AARP years let's make a little quality time for ourselves and reminisce a bit on yesterday. We're much too young for 40 years to have passed since that June day when we walked across the stage at the Springfield Armory to receive our ceremonial welcome to reality. So innocent and unsuspecting we dreamed our dreams and made plans to be rich, famous, and happy. Life's hard lessons taught us that the three are not mutually inclusive. The years have pushed us apart in many more ways than just miles. However, time and distance can never separate us from the experiences we shared as teeny-boppers at Springfield High School. In an attempt to bridge the span I have put this site together so we might share old memories and new experiences across the miles that time has put between us. This is our site, it will only be what we make it. Within each of us resides the archive of memories. In our attics and garages are the dusty boxes of old pictures, mementos, and souvenirs. I thought it might be nice to have a place to share those things again before age ravishes our memory and deteriorates the pictures. Here is what I had in mind for these pages:
Now, let me say a few words in self-defense. I'm not a computer geek. My computer is slow and my typing skills very rudimentary. What little I know about building websites is entirely self-taught (which made it real easy to play hooky and go fishing). My pride in authorship is on par with my two-finger typing abilities so I certainly welcome all constructive and destructive comments for improvements. If you have information, memories or pictures that you would like to share please E-mail me and I will tell you how best to send them. Anything you send me can be returned to you. ![]() The computer students at Springfield High maintain an excellent - groovy! - website for the school. There is a great deal of information on the history of our alma mater along with the current activities at the school and links to the Springfield area. If you haven't already, I highly recommend that you take a moment to visit their site and appreciate their efforts and school pride.

Many of us list our home address, phone number and email address here so we can stay in touch with friends and receive information from the Reunion Committee. Unfortunately, there are a number of jerks out there that surf the web looking for that kind of information for telemarketing, junk mail, and spam. Our Class Directory is password protected to prevent unauthorized access to the information. Please respect the privacy of our classmates. Alumni of SHS '67 can receive the user name and password by emailing Jim Markestad. |

Here we honor our classmates who have passed away. A place not of sadness, but of friendship and love; a wayside on the highway of life where we may pause to Remember Friends. Perhaps you had a class with them.., or played sports together, were in the band with them, or dated in high school. Do you know what happened to them after graduation? Do you know how they died.., Vietnam.., accident.., cancer? If you have a memory - be it a sentence, a paragraph or a favorite picture, please share it. |
