THOSE WERE THE DAYS
We would like to have a slide show at the reunion starring YOU!!
If you have a box of old school pictures tucked away somewhere, pull them out and share them with us.
We are looking for photos of our days at JMHS to rekindle memories of days gone by. Picures can be of field trips, sports, prom, dances in the gym, groups of friends, days spent at different venues (Orchard Beach, Jahn's, Bronx Zoo, etc).
Remember! We need YOU!

Those who attended our 40th reunion remember the wonderful job Jay Becker did with our Memory Book. Jay has offered to do this again but needs your help.

We would like to honor those teachers who helped us become the adults we are today. If anyone knows the whereabouts, or how to contact any teacher, please do so, or let us know so we can do so. We have contact information for Marge Rosen and Marilyn Demotsis (both from the Math Dept) but, we do need to add to this fledgling list.
Check out all the sites on the menu on the left side of this home page.
You can now chat live with your friends who are on line - or - "contact us" if you want to set up a specific time for anyone and everyone to get in on the conversation. FYI: Green circle means you are actively chatting; Red circle means you are idle, and a pencil means you are currently typing.
