=Latest News=

I've made several changes to the site to make getting around easier for all. First, you'll notice the links to Class News is no longer on the menu to the left. If you visit the Class Contact List page you'll see a new interface there also. Why? Because the numbers of alumni joining the list has increased drastically lately I can no longer fit everyone on the single page I used to use and have it display  properly. So I have broken the list down into groups by decade. In addition - each decade page now has a direct link to News from those classes as well as a button if you want to be listed. So everything you need concerning your particular class year now resides in one location. This should make it easier for everyone.

A number of alumni have joined the party lately, and about the best comments I can hear are that so many of you have managed to reconnect with old friends via this website. That is my main reason for creating this site, as it was when I created the Delphi Forum, now administered by Don Ericksen. We will soon have our own domain and new home free of the annoying popups and banners here at Tripod.

For those new here, please remember that all alumni returning for visits do not read the guestbook, so messages you leave there asking for connections may not be seen. To help with that, I usually gather your comments there and copy them to the appropriate class page, i.e., "Classes of the 60's", "Classes of the 70's", etc. I then list your email and name to the Class List page. If there are alumni in particular you are looking to connect with - please email me separately and I will place your request on the "Looking For" page.

I genuinely appreciate the very kind comments many of you have sent concerning my website. Hopefully you too will connect with old friends and classmates!

There have been many requests for information on buying replacement yearbooks lately in private emails to myself. Unfortunately, I have no source to provide you other than to contact Calhouns Library department, where I was told there are occasionally extra copies of yearbooks available. I suggest that anyone looking for a yearbook use the link to Calhouns website and go all the way to the bottom and use the link to Ellen Johanson and email her for help. This is something I need to talk over when I meet principal David Seinfeld shortly. Also - if you have an extra copy of any yearbooks you would like to make available ... please email me!

I would like to advise everyone that I just received a very nice email from Mr. David Seinfeld - the newly appointed Principal at Calhoun - offering his assistance to me with this website. David sounds like a very nice gentleman and we will get together soon after school starts to discuss mutual cooperation. This is an excellent opening for us to bring all alumni into the fold and let current students know where they can go to get info on classmates!

Also - the wonderful Ann (Mullaney) McDonough will be trying to get other retired teachers to drop by and let us know what they have been doing in their retirement. So hopefully I will be getting some news to post on the Teachers page!

About this website

The genesis of this website goes back to January 2000, when our previous gathering place at classmates.com began charging for basic access to the message forums. I decided then that we needed a new place to hang out and exchange memories that was free of charges and assorted nonsense. So - I applied for and created a new message forum at delphi.com - which was a free message forum service almost exactly like the original classmates.com. Little by little, classmates started drifting over to our new forum. The only problem I saw was that the majority of members were from the earlier classes of the 60's.

I then decided that we needed a place for all alumni to visit to get information on Calhoun, new events, reunions, general goings-on, news about teachers, etc. without fear of being left out by the older classes. That resulted in my obtaining a URL and the creation of this website.

 I'd like to thank Ellen Johanson - Library Media Specialist at Calhoun High School - for establishing a link from the official Calhoun High School district website to our Alumni site! Ellen tells me that she has had many inquiries from people asking how to locate alumni, and now she knows to send them to us. Thanks, Ellen!

I need help with the memorial pages! Anyone with info on deceased classmates and/or teachers is asked to please contact me so they can be honored. If possible, the time period teachers were at Calhoun would help so I can try to include a picture on the page. This is especially so for those on our Honor Roll from Vietnam - if anyone has info, class years, pics, etc of any of the men listed but without a picture or other info- please contact me! We want to honor these men appropriately and need info I don't have at hand. Also, if you wish to add a remembrance of one of the men, just send me an email with what you want added and I will post it immediately. You may submit pics, etc of your honoree for posting. I think it's important for friends and family to know that we remember their loved ones in their absence. Please help us do so. I will also include general sentiments concerning any of the teachers who are included on their page.

Calhoun alumni are encouraged to submit any items of interest - be it class pictures, reunion information and pics and stories from reunions, etc. In short - anything pertaining to your class you'd like to show off! Don't be shy - if you have *anything* you'd like to say please let the Webmaster know so it can be included in your classes area. So far only the 60's are represented. Let's hear it from the rest of the classes! I am actively seeking new pics of the "old" Merrick for the "Our Town" page. Anyone with anything to offer, please let me know. Just click on the "Email Webmaster" button under the menu!

Reunion Committees!

I have received a large number of inquiries from alumni about possible reunions of their classes.  Please let me know if your class is planning a reunion so I can include the info on the website! Unfortunately, not everyone who participates on the forum checks this site regularly, and vice versa. The only way to be sure everyone is aware of your reunion plans is to either have it posted at both locations - or advise me by email and I will do it for you. I would hope you'd want to participate in our message forum, but will in any case, post anything you'd like alumni to know right here.
