Hello friends. I have been living in the San Francisco Bay area and appraising real estate for the past 25 years. My daughter Katherine is 24 and is working for me. My son Jimmy is 28. He is a senior at the University of San Francisco. I have put Jimmy up for adoption because I can't afford him any more. Would someone out there like to take over the payments??
I've been trying to find pictures from the 30th Reunion and haven't been able to find them yet. Anyone know where they are? Had a great time seeing old friends. I have a new e-mail address, so please take note!
Hello fellow classmates.. I have been living in Colorado the last 15 years and I am the Librarian at the New High School in out town. I still do hair also. My twin Sharon is still in San Antonio. Would love to hear from you. I am looking forward to the reunion.
Dear Ones This is Mr. Shooks daughter writing once again. I am in search of a dear fellow alumni named Leslie Greenspan, which is her maiden name. If you are out there Leslie, or if someone can get in touch with her it would be a dear pleasure to reunite. Please folks keep me informed of any upcoming reunions Blessings, Tanya Shook Scarpitto PS. Look for an article we were part of in Newsweek Business Magazine.

WOW! Stephen Ahearn, David Ghiz, Julie McCormick - there are some familiar names from the deep dark past. Does anyone else miss those days of streaking and other forms of blatant exhibitionism? We sure knew how to have a good time! What's happening with the 30th reunion? I'd love to reuinite with some of you balding wrinklies - I mean beautiful youthful beings! Love from Dawn
Hi to all my classmates of 77. It's nice to have stumbled onto this site and to see some familiar names. Boy....it's time to brush the cobwebs off the memory. Hope everyone is doing well.
Dear Ones I am Mr. Shooks daughter announcing the death of Mr. Irvin James Shook, former teacher at Phoenix Union. It was brought to my attention, today, that there were many that did not learn of my fathers passing. He died the year Ronald Regan passed, so he went out with the best of the best. I also have to announce the sudden death of my middle brother, Dr. Eric B. Shook, DVM who practiced as a Veteranarian for many years in Cotton Wood Arizona. He was only 45 and passed with a second heart attack. We mourn for both my dear father and brother, and could really use some encouragement and kind words as these years have been quite rough for myself and his grand daughters. Mr. Shook, lived in an Althemiers home for the last five years, and was loved by all the nursing staff at the Place at Glendale, ( Nursing home for Altheimers patients.) Please feel free to email me at tms65@cox.net Thank you, Sincerely, Tanya Shook Scarpitto Glendale, Arizona
Just got a call from Will Mies about the reunion plans for September--very exciting! I just recently found Vicki Jones and will forward all the info to her as well. We should form a '65 site to make this easier. Am living in Westfield, NJ--anyone else out in these parts? Marty
Whats up all. Hope everyone made it to where they wanted when they graduated form CHS.

What a wonderful way to walk down memory lane. I enjoyed seeing so many familiar names. I've lived in Colorado for the passed 31 years. I plan on attending the class reunion in Nov.
I am not and alumni. I found a 1980 High School ring for Central High Bobcats with the name Lori Hussey engraved on the inside. I am writing to all the Central High Schools with the mascotte bobcats in an attempt to locate the owner of the ring. If Lori Hussey is an alumni of your school, I would be happy to send the ring to you to send to her or I will send the ring directly. Thank you for your assistance.
Hey Fellow Bobcats: It was good to hear from Ava that the Class of 65 Central High Reunion is back on for September 15, 2006. As we approach the bottom slopes of middle age, reconnecting with old friends seems more and more like a really fine way to spend some time. And fortunately, many of us don't act our age! Meanwhile, I am residing (hiding out?) with my wife Eloisa on the lost continent of W. Marin - and working weekdays in San Rafael, California. I look forward to the class reunion in September. Best wishes, Alex Hinds
An informal reunion is planned for September 15, 2006 4-7 p.m. at Aunt Chiladas. If interested contact Ava Rubenstein - avars@pacbell.net or Susan Hubbard Herman 602-997-5666.
good to see the school is still operating. i wonder if mr. ball is still around? i got a call from Ava, the reunion sounds like a fine idea. I'm still the winemaker at the Old Creek Ranch Winery in Ojai, Ca. Hopefully I can get away during the harvest.

I only went to the school for a short time but the memories I took will stay with me forever. Shout out to all the kids I met in 1984-85.
I'd like to say hi to all my old friends. 40 years, and with the exception of leaving for college, i've been here in the valley the whole time. I'm looking forward to the reunion and spending some time to see how all are doing. I'm really looking forward to seeing the madison meadows classmates.
Well, I moved back to Phoenix a year ago and I am loving it. Now I'm moving back to the old neighborhood and I'm feeling so sentimental. I was disappointed I didn't make it to the 30th reunion. I'd love to hear from anyone who used to be in choir or chamber singers with me back in the days of Kay Poore and Kathleen Hergt. Anybody out there? *Heidi*

The Class of '65 is having an informal get together on September 15, 2006, at Aunt Chilada's Restaurant. Please contact me for more information.

I am looking for an old friend that graduated around 1970. Would appreciate any help. Thanx
welly welly well...... many a good time was had by all and i can't believe that i finally made it out of high school. yes, central is the greatest; yes, the class of '05 was the most awesome bunch o' hooligans to ever grace the campus; and no, class of '06 can NOT hold a candle to us. we are the best, the rest of you are embarassments to the bobcats... just kidding, but '05 was the best. period. bobcats bobcats, HOOOO-RAH!!
Central was a great school and I miss all of my fellow classmates. The 60's were the best years for young people and I am so glad I got to experience those turbulent times. I've enjoyed the reunions that I have attended and it's always great to see how everyone has changed and what they are up to now. Thanks for the great site and keep it up.
i love the site
What a long strange trip it's been. Married and left PHX in '82, returned in '03. What a difference. Wow. So, 30 year reunion this year? It will be my first...
Any news of a class of 1976 30 year reunion?
I'm still here????
class of '03. graduated a year early. so yea. dats all.
Being on both sides of the desk, I am happy to say Central is doing well. I also hope to see the class of 88 soon.
Hello everyone. Nice to see Central is still going strong. Hope to see the class of '77 at the next reunion.
HEY GUYS I DEY HERE SIMPLE
The Class of '85 20th reunion was a blast! It's hard to believe we're all that old now. See the pictures at: http://community.webshots.com/user/specedteacher
Great web sight. I wish I knew about it before.
Hey everybody. Has anyone heard anything from Pat Mahoney? (Football, Baseball, class of '75). I lost track of him in the 80's and have thought about him since. thanks
Thanks Terrilynn for being the only rep. from class of '77. Thanks to Boo (I know who you are) for telling her about it; and how about a note form you Boo (...Boo Hoo). How about all the other '77'ers writing in too (Chris-Z, Davy-T, Jorgie-L, etc., etc.) Hope all are happy/healthy.
Chiming in on a few previous comments, it is too bad that the class of 1980 apparently is not going to have a 25 year reunion. I went to the 10 year reunion and even though it was poorly done it was nice to see so many friends after a decade. Somehow I got dropped from the mailing list and missed a 15- or 20-year reunion. I know that many people were looking forward to a notice on the 25-year reunion that never came. I live in Fremont, California now or I would try to help organize it myself. I hope that Janie McDade and my good friend Kevin Kottmer take up the torch that our class officers dropped long ago. Jeff Kiehl
Great site, hope to see some of you at the 30th!

I only attended my Junior and Senior year, but I remember a bunch of you graduating in '71. Remember, it was the end of the war. Gas was still cheap. No computers or cell phones.

I would like to contact anyone from our class, but especially former members of the 65 football and wrestling teams. I have lived in Los Angeles since graduation.

After reading the mandate from Stephen Ahearn, I felt compelled to sign the guest book. Stephen is "the man"-always has been, always will be. I like the "76er" tag line. What a four years it was. Everything from Friday night football to Friday night at the fights!part'ys at the Dunhams to having fun with the bridge gang. Ms Scholanda (is she still there?) to "oil well films". Sometimes I wonder how we survived. There is no doubt in my mind that if we pulled the things today we did then, we would have attended several funerals. Thank God we were blessed! I would love to hear from any of the "old gang". We were a pretty special group!Just as I am sure all classes were.
Great website!!! Hello to all the other members of the class of '79! I was back in Arizona three years ago for Christmas and visited the campus, it looked real good except for the fences around everything. Anyone wishing to contact me, please feel free to do so. Frank
Friday night, Jan 30, 2004--CHS Bobcat's final home basketball game. Game is at 7 p.m.; we've been meeting at 6:45 p.m. $3 per person. Camelback Alumni Association will have alumni there; so join us and perhaps meet an ol' friends from the other CHS. Hope to see you Friday--wear your CHS red.
GREETINGS TO THE CLASS OF 1980 - And hats off to all those whose talents brought this website to life. It's hard to believe that 25 years have passed since the wild-times at Central High. Have been happily married to Bob for 23 years and have five wonderful children (3 in college) Getting older for sure, but loving life. Would love to hear from any old friends - drop me a line at janie@infowest.com. Best wishes to you all.
I am so sad I missed the reunion. It looked like everyone had a great time! I'd love to hear from anyone that was there! There are a few people I want to be able to get in touch with! Hope to hear from someone soon!
Congrats on a job well done. Many fond memories of CHS in the 70's. Best wishes to the class of 1975.
Bobcat Basketball anyone? Alumni are gathering for the last two CHS home basketball games on Jan 23 and 30. Jan 23 is against Carl Hayden; Jan 30 against old rival Camelback. Meet at the west entrance to the gym at 6:45 p.m. Park in the ol' North parking lot. Cost is $3 per person. Alumni attended a spirited game on Jan 16th and had a wonderful time. Because Helsing's is closed, we opted for a nightcap at Applebee's, Central and Camelback. Join us, it is a nice evening. Bring your kids and watch Bobcats in action.
Great website! It sure is nice to see we still have the spirit. I would like to talk to anyone who remembers me.
Great Site! To any and all former JROTC cadets---we are getting together with COL. Salm end of Jan 04 in Phoenix. If you are interested in joining us for dinner feel free to email me and I will let you know a definite date and time in JAN. Time is fast approaching. Hope to hear from you all. We are going to try and get CSM Payne there too. Kim
I really enjoyed finding this site. thank you for putting it out there.
2003 was an eventful year for these two Bobcats now living in Virginia..Ron and I just celebrated our 23rd aniversary and married off our oldest daughter on October 11th. (Of course, Ron took many of the pictures!) Can't wait for the next reunion!
Does anyone know how to get in touch with Betty Fairfax? I am diversity coordinator for Motorola at Price & Elliot plant. We are planning our annual MLK Breakfast and would like to invite her and her sister to be our keynote speakers. You can reach me at my home email: l.d.cunningham@att.net Thanks for your help.
Hi Alumni, I am currently an ESL Biology teacher and varsity girls soccer coach here at CHS. Our team needs tax credit donations for various items for our season. We function on a very limited budget and any donation (even $20) would help! If you would like to track how we are doing, please and paste this in your browser: http://www.azcentral.com/sports/preps/prep_sport.php?schoolID=35&sportID=8 This site has our schedule and current record, 7-1. Hope to see you at a game sometime! Ms. Michelle Rollins Varsity Girls Soccer Coach :)
Just went to our 30th reunion and it was a blast. It was great to see everyone. Hope to see you all and more at the next one. The years and Meadows and Central were very special and wonderful. Thanks to Maria, Peggy, Richard, Sheila, Denise, Bob, Sandy who couldn't even make it and everyone else who helped put it on. It was also get to see Coach Ray Laing at the old timers game. I was so sorry to hear that Coach George Endres passed away. Mrs. Fairfax can still rock.
I'm curious now,37 years after graduation and a life spent mostly at sea, what has become of some of my classmates. People change so much over the years. I know I have. I'm back in Arizona, hopefully for good, and like to hear from any of those who remember me.
Kathy and I were searching the internet for homework website for our daughter's freshman English class and found this website. We pray all of you are well. Kathy (class of '79) and I have been blessed w 17 years of marriage and two girls. We enjoy being back in Phoenix (10 years) and running into bobcat friends. I have had the extra joy of being an assistant coach in wrestling at Central for the last six years. Love and may God bless you all- Travis and Kathy
I miss Central High School. I loved it there and I can't wait to have my first reunion. The sad thing is that the class of 2003 doesn't have a class to visit. Maybe some one could possible contribute. I may too. Thanks Central for some fun. A few good times and a few bad times. Love ya lots central and class of 2003.
1968 classmembers - get ready for 35th reunion-e-mail me if interested-will be spring 2004 --FOR SURE!!!I'm doin the work now!
I was an exchange student at Central. It was cool finding a site like this to find out what's going on at central now:) Thank you!
Chuck and others, this is a wonderful idea. Thank you for your efforts. My four years at Central were very good ones, and I am happy to contribute to the cause. Bill Neiman ('62)
Sorry I could not make the latest reunion. I had some last minute schedule changes and could not work it in. Just thought I would say hi to the gang. Stuart
It's been along time class of 93. I cant believe I just found out about this website. I wish I could make it to the reunion.
NICE MEETING ALL 67 AND THANFS FOR THE GOOD JOB IN PROVIDING THIS SITE.
Enjoyed the 40th Reunion at Fiesta Inn. Finally found web page How do we get copy of the photograph that we had taken that night?
The class of '83 just had our 20th reunion. It was great to see old classmates! It was a little like stepping into the Twilight Zone, since so many years had passed. Most of us were the same people just a little older and more mature? at least we hope to think so. For those of you who couldn't come we missed you and would love to see you at the next reunion.
Nice job! Thank you for taking the time to organize the Alumni and build the site. The effort is greatly appreciated! I did not know about this site. Haven't lived in Arizona since 1986. But, I would love to help in any way I can. I will join as soon as I am done posting! : ) Thanks for all your hard work!! Wish I could be there tonight! Enjoy!
This looks like a great idea-I saw this for the first time today - so we'll see
Just the picture of the mighty BOBCAT brought back lots of great memories. Good Job on the web site WHAT'S UP CLASS of 93!
HI CHUCK AND ALL YOUR HARDWORKING BOBCATS! JUST HEARD ABOUT THE GREAT PROGRESS YOU'VE MADE ORGANIZING CENTRAL'S ALUMI !!!!!! CONGRATS!!! I'M TRYING TO COME OVER FOR THE FRIDAY EVENT AT CENTRAL. WISH I LIVED CLOSER TO BE MORE INVOLVED AND HANDS-ON HELP, BUT IT WOULD BE GREAT TO SEE OTHER BOBCATS. MY CELL IS 949-500-7560 HOPE TO SEE YOU. I JOINED AS CHARTER TODAY. THANKS, CHUCK PS LOVE THE WEBSITE CAN YOU LINK UP WITH CLASSMATES.COM TO REACH OTHER BOBCATS.
High School seems like a lifetime ago. Ten years fly by so fast. Remember Lake Central, how easy it was to sneak off campus through the teachers parking lot, how incredibly awefull "Alice in Wonder" was, or how amazing the '93 Prom was. My husband got a HUGE laugh out of watching my old "Blythe Spirit" tape. I can't believe we ever deluded ourselves into thinking we were good. I would love to hear from those who remember me.
My last name was Maguire in High School. This website is great. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Chuck Stankey and all involved in putting together this web page. Great idea and great work. FRED TISH IS STILL AROUND?! What a surprise!
G'day from Australia (how predictably tacky). I can't believe it's nearly ten years since I set off on my American adventure. Being an exchange student at Central High was many things - exciting, different, challenging and, at times, bloody scary. I am glad I did it though. I still wear my Central High t-shirt all the time and take pride in knowing that, unlike alot of the other American highschool/college "pretend" logos splashed about over here, that mine is REAL. I will hopefully be coming back for another look in 2004 ... I just hope the security guards let me in!
Many thanks to the efforts of the "Alumni Association" for orchestrating this event and web site. A THOUGHTFUL WORK, may it continue on... The 17TH Sounds like good clean fun for the whole family. I haven’t set foot on the campus in years. Who knows what the statute of limitations is on any activities that MAY or MAY NOT have taken place, ON or NEAR the "BRIDGE" area. NOT THAT I WAS PERSONALLY INVOLVED IN ANY SUCH ACTIVITY. ;-) Lets see MORE POSTINGS from "Class of 79". Steve Ahearn (see below) believes the class of 76 is "rightfully the most active", sadly he forgets his class learned on "BASIC and FORTRAN" computers (pre-stone age) and many have yet to recover.
Wow!!! 25 years already. Forgot about the bridge till I read below. Not that I ever went there of course. Anybody that may remember me, please drop a line. Wow!!! 25 years. Thanks for the site. And the bridge.
I've been living in Newport Beach, Ca. since 1985. I went to both the 10 year and 20 year reunions. Can't believe the 30th is not too far off. I think the October 17th event is a great idea, and I hope it is widely promoted. I hope to be there. Would love to hear from any of the old gang. David Weisman
The website is great! Passed the info to several of our classmates. Although I can't attend the Alumni get together at homecoming this year, I wish you a wonderful event! I think we all have fond memories of Central High, which we will cherish forever!
10-6-03 Hi to All! Just learned about our website and think this is such a great way to remain connected with each other. I am unable to attend the Homecoming as I work on Saturday and live in Prescott Valley. Would love to hear from anyone who remembers me! Joan Fischer Kazubowski
I miss Central High School!!
Fab site! Old pals from the '70s classes, drop me a hello! ScottyP scottyp@comcast.net
Looking forward to the news, reunions and positive things that can be accomplished through this organization
This is a great site and a great opportunity to stay in touch. I attended the 62 class reunion in May 2003 and had a wonderful time - I am so glad to see the messages on this site also - THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO TOOK PART IN THIS PROJECT - Would love to know the whereabouts of Brenda Farris from the Class of '62 if anyone knows where she may be
I am so thrilled for this website and the Alumni Association. Because my family moved to Texas the middle of my Junior year, I did not actually get to graduate from CHS. However,I am going to join the Alumni Association anyway because of my great memories as a student and a cheerleader at CHS. Much of my work ethic (especially when things are tough) comes from the demands for excellence made by our cheer coach, Miss Cook. I had dear friends among the girls on the pom line and the cheer line.
Hey this is great! (Boo thanks for letting me know)
Wow this is great. I read about the website in the newspaper and thought it is about time. I will pass this on to my brothers Earl and Alfred since they graduated in the 1960's.
Haven’t lived Az for 25 years but would love to hear from all or any of you. I can be reached at michael.hyams@hp.com Chow MH
WHAT A WONDERFUL PROJECT THIS IS. I HAVE ALREADY RECOGNIZED MANY OLD FRIENDS SIMPLY BY THEIR E-MAIL ADDRESSES. AS YOU CAN SEE IT'S BEEN OVER FORTY YEARS SINCE MY CLASS GRADUATED BUT THIS BRINGS BACK MANY FOND MEMORIES. CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THOSE WHO HAVE WORKED SO HARD ON THIS! GO BOBCATS! MIKE ESPY '62
Where's the pictures of the bridge?
Looking forward to hearing from long-lost fellow Bobcats! Brad
Great site! Thank you Jules for sharing it with me.
Glad to see that an alumni association has been started.
I would like to see more pictures of the campus. Thanks.
What a great website! Looking forward to our 40th reunion in October. Go Bobcats!
What a great website! Looking forward to our 40th reunion in October. Go Bobcats!
This is a great website!!! We are celebrating our 40th reunion this year! I find that statement a little hard to believe but all too true. We went to school at Central High and now 40 years later, we are still getting together as classmates and friends.
Folks: I ordered 1,000 copies of the newsletter today. Please make sure you give us an address for you so we can send you one. It is available on the website and can be copied with Adobe Acrobat. Chuck
Awesome web site! Thanks and congratulations to the creators. Ellen (Grodzinsky) Dean I now coordinate the BookPALS Literacy Program in Arizona sponsored by the Screen Actors Guil Foundation (Performing Artists for Literacy in Schools)-putting actors and theater students into high risk elementary schools to read to kids on a weekly basis. I was wondering if some of Central's theater students would like to read to kids as a community service project. Does anyone know who I should contact? Ellen
great to see the interest. Loved my years at Central and looking forward to hearing from any of my classmates
I would dearly love to locate Valerie Thornton ('65). Please, does anyone know her where abouts? I attended CHS from January to December 1962. I reside in California. Thanks Linda S.C. ('65) for notifying me of this wonderful site. Love being in contact with you and Dusty.
The Bobcat of '65 wasn't near this ferocious, but this is a great website! What a great way to keep in touch. I remember so many of you from class of '63. Hi Ralph, Fred, Chuck, and all the rest of you. Thanks, Paul for sending this to me. I will forward it on to other Centralians I know. Long live Central!!
Central still rocks! GO BOBCATS!!
Hi - I'm the art teacher at Central who did the garbage can project. Jim Perry, an alum, just sent them to me. What a great feature. We have 40 cans in all representing where students and faculty are from. Actually we have 65 countries represented on campus so it's a goal to do all 65. Budget problems cut short getting the other cans last year. They seem to be holding up well too. As anyone comes on campus and sees them all in a row down the center of the campus they get a unique glimpse of Central's International flavor. The unkown cans were from Irag (I had 3 brothers who could hardly speak English), Navajo Nation (actually we had two from here - the most artistic can was missing. Central has the largest Native American population of any), Vietnam and Congo. I actually went to West High, never visited Central back in those days - but I like Central's campus layout better than any in PUHS. Perfect for Le Grand Garbage Cans. Thanks for featuring us. Real-world art projects make the kids feel good about what they do. I'll show them this page. Thanks for putting it together - so I can use it in class! Lorna Holmes
Hello to all Bobcats! The Class of 67' has been enjoying our class website for a few years now. This website is great! Anyone looking for my brother Ron Jones, drop me an email and I will let you know where he is.
I have Teen Gazette articles about Central and its Bobcats from 66-67 if you are interested. I can make copies and mail them for any scrapbook you may have or wish to make... Thanks, Louise Gacioch
Send the Bobcat cheer on high...
It's a easy way to keep in touch and know what's going on with the class of '63.
All the good work by the dedicated soles who brought this website together, and our Class of '63 reunions, make me feel like we're still in High School at good old Central - and that's a good thing. Thanks to all. Hey Gene Pauling, hope to make the 40th and see you there!
Has anyone heard from David Swan, class of "63. Please e-mail me if you have. Thanks, Gene Pauling
GREAT idea,the Association, and well needed. Hope it is a big success and brings many CHS alums back together. We all started shaping a life and furure from our years at Central. How many people can remember when "Home" football games were not played at the Central football field because there wasn't one? "Lead, Follow or get out of the way" Class of '63, Leading the way to the future and beyond while being a part of history at the same time.
LETS GET TOGETHER SOON GIVE ME A CALL SAC
Dear Friends, I am the basketball (varsity) coach here at Central. And have coached, tennis, baseball, football, and golf. I would like to help fundraise dollars to Central Athletics. Of course Basketball would be my priority. For the last seven years, my friends from the community have helped to support the program by contributing 200 to 250(married) dollars in exchange for participation in "The Morning Hoops Program". We play here at Central from 6am to 7:30 am. Gentleman's game...full court. All are welcome. Thank you for organizing this...of course it will become a terrific asset to all. As you already know (I'm sure), the 50th anniversary is coming up in 2007. We should work with the Varsity club in order to pay tribute to the Student Athletes by recognizing them through photos in the gym ect... Please contact me for any assistance. thanks....Phone 602.263.6008 e: tomawilliams@cox.net
I noticed your bobcat and wondered where the graphic you used originated. It does not match the image in my memory. I played the bass drum when I first became part of the band in 1959 and wanted to do something special because, after all, I was a freshman! So one afternoon I took the bass drum over to the art department where my Sister Penny was a student. After convincing her teacher that I had authorization to paint the drum (which I didn't)she proceeded to paint both drum heads with a full bobcat; not a cartoon, but not as wild as you depict. I don't know if they still have a marching band at Central or if the bass drum still carries a logo of sorts, but I will tell you that even today, I fondly recall the moment and sense of pride we all felt when the band stepped on the field for the first time with that drum; even Band Director Harvey Zorn, a man not known for sentiment, smiled a bit when he saw that bobcat march by.
Class of '63 is still the only class that has reunions "Every Year" OFTEN IMITATED, BUT NEVER DUPLICATED - THE CLASS OF '63 Long live all the BOBCATS!
Well organized website design, great use of Red & Gray (white) colors with a nifty Bobcat logo. Looking forward to the Reunion in October.
Of course Julie Mac is the first 76er to write in (see below). A call to the Class of '76: let's hear from more of you in this Guestbook and let's see some more of those memberships. We're letting the Class of '63 run away with the title of best, most active class, which everyone knows is rightfully the property of 1976!
THIS IS GREAT! THANKS FOR GETTING IT TOGETHER.
FRED TISH WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN BY THE CHS CLASS OF '63 !!! Right on BOBCATS - then now and forever!
This is wonderful! Sort of brings us full circle and gives additional wholeness in our lives. I didn't have too many friends in grammar and high school, but as I'm getting older I am beginning to understand and appreciate what a profound influence my early education--teachers, school administrators, classmates and friends--actually did have in my life. The impressions some of them have made are indelibly a part of me. Some inspired me to reach far beyond what I had previously accepted as my limits, either self-imposed or forced on us by societal values and mores. Thank you, one and all!
Stephen: You've done a terrific job on the website. It is something we can all be proud of. It conveys our purpose, methods, and organization clearly. The site has great potential on which to build. Chuck Sankey -- Tempe, AZ
Randomly generated sentences for test: Don't you drive below the bridge? That janitor shouted between the two buildings. Don't you sing at home? They shave at home. They work in London. Albert doesn't talk at the bookstore. That student drove near our school. The plumbers don't surf in the river. I wrote next to the police station. That taxi driver isn't reading below the bridge these days.
Go Bobcats. This is a test, this is only a test...
