For any of you scrap-book fanatics, I would REALLY appreciate your taking a few minutes to locate your High School Album.  I am looking for that little book they gave us with all the classmates` addresses and phone numbers.  I believe it was pale green and about 5 1/2 inches by 8 inches.  With that, I can research where the missing classmates lived back then, find any relatives, and follow the trail to present day. I only have the little yellow booklet from our Junior Year and you`d be surprised how many people were moving in and out of our class back then.   I know many are laughing at this idea - a far stretch you say!!  But I would bet someone out there has what I am after.  I will copy it, and return immediately.  Did I mention you will be a hero!?!?!  Well in my eyes for sure!  I only have a short list of  stubborn Lost Indians left to find. Help me gather everyone into the fold , so everyone can be included in the future Reunions.  Please see the below article.  Thanks so much!

I am looking for these last few classmates…..There are less than 25 now, but you might be surprised at some that are missing,…someone who you talk to every month/perhaps year.  Please help me fill in anything I can on the Master Classmate Contact sheet.I am so close, I can almost taste it!!!! ANYTHING might help me….. a maiden name, or the last place they lived or even a younger/older sibling……Thanks in advance!

Thanks Dale!

A number of classmates are on www.facebook.com   Make sure to list Choctawhatchee High School `81 as your high school so you can look at who`s on the site. Thanks  to Dale Applegate for keeping this site going and all the updates!!  He lists himself as Tech Support on here, but for all he does, I think “The Man” more appropriate !!!  He keeps this site up at his time and expense….Please thank him if you get a chance.

Thanks,

Les

Big invite to any of the gang on the West Coast:

It’s the party you’ve been dying for.

The annual “Halloween Bash” at the Murphy’s
Date: Saturday Oct. 27th
Time: 7pm till ?
Location: Glendale, CA 91202

Costumes are encouraged unless your really scary without one!
Come hungry and thirsty!
We will be serving plenty of entrails and Goblin Snot (patent pending)

The kids are invited, especially if they’re tender!

Please RSVP (We need to know how many body bags to order)
Kevin or Claudia at (818) 243-2419 or (818) 400-2118

Halloween Rules:

=> When it appears that you have killed the monster, *never* check to see if it’s really dead.

=> Never read a book of demon summoning aloud, even as a joke.

=> Do not search the basement, especially if the power has just gone out.

=> If your children speak to you in Latin or any other language which they should not know, or if they speak to you using a voice which is other than their own, shoot them immediately. It will save you a lot of grief in the long run. NOTE: It will probably take several rounds to kill them, so be prepared.

=> When you have the benefit of numbers, *never* pair off and go it alone.

=> As a general rule, don’t solve puzzles that open portals to Hell.

=> Never stand in, on, above, below, beside, or anywhere near a grave, tomb, crypt, mausoleum, or other house of the dead.

=> If appliances start operating by themselves, move out.

=> If you’re running from the monster, expect to trip or fall down at least twice, more if you are of the female persuasion. Also note that, despite the fact that you are running and the monster is merely shambling along, it’s still moving fast enough to catch up with you.

=> Do not take *anything* from the dead.

THIS JUST IN…
THE REUNION PHOTO GALLERY AND THE ALUMI PERSONAL GALLERIES
HAVE BEEN ADDED TO THE SITE !!!

We have integrated a photo gallery with our reunion website to share the great pictures every one took at the reuinion and any other pictures you have from the past, present or future.  We have already posted many of the images people gave us from the reunion in the gallery, but you can post more images in your own personal Alumni Gallery.

OK, so how do you get started?

STEP 1
Login to the Reuinion website using the link at the TOP of the PAGE.
Yes, If you have not registered and setup an account on the site you will not be able to upload pictures.

STEP 2
Click on the PHOTO GALLERY link at the TOP of the PAGE.

STEP 3
You should now be at the main Photo Gallery page.  On the page there is a Gallery with the name ALUMNI PHOTO ALBUMS and a menu item link called YOUR ALBUM, click on YOUR ALBUM menu item.

The YOUR ALBUM link will take you to your personal Alumni Album and the Alumni Photo Albums will take you to see other Alumni’s image galleries where they have uploaded pictures for viewing.

STEP 4
Your should be in your Allumni Gallery now so start building your gallery.

There are numerous options in the gallery that you can use to tweak and manipulate the setup and images.  The first time you enter your gallery you may want to RENAME your gallery as the default uses your login name.  Here I have renamed mine simply, Applegate’s Album, call it what ever you wish. 

Click on the EDIT ALBUM menu item and you can rename your gallery among many other things.

Navigation around the gallery is fairly straight forward and there are always the BREAD CRUMBS NAVIGATION at the top right of the gallery page, just below the header image.
