It doesn't get any better than this!

     This part of our alumni website is devoted to bringing back some positive memories of our years in grades K-12 - and beyond. Browse through the pictures classmates have found in their albums, in drawers and in boxes stuffed up in a closet. This site is for sharing those photo's and any stories you have related to photo's you find. Be sure to 'reload' or 'refresh' for each visit.

      Navigation around these sites might get a bit confusing -- just click and go until you figure out the format. We are constantly looking for ways to improve the navigation of the PhotoGallery section. Please bear with us.

Those Early Years
Pictures in this section go back to 1945 beginning with Max Morris & his mom and dad and Jim Fleming with his grandfather and 1948 with nursery school in Winter Park up through our elementary school days.
Junior High School Daze
Some of us went to Signal Hill for a bit of time but most of us ended up at Glenridge Junior High School. These are those special 'developmental' years.
High School Daze
From 10th grade through graduation. We lost some classmates during these years who moved on with their families but you will find many on our list as they will always be considered "our classmates".
The Proms
(Or any other high school formal function.) Tom Tobin started this section. It's a great idea and fun. We would like to add to it so if you have a picture from any of the proms or Christmas formals, please share them with us.
What's been happening since...?

This section of the website is set up for you to share pictures of you and your family and events you have been to or let us see you and your spouse/significant other.
