Some years ago, I started a web site for my graduating class of 1964 at Throckmorton High School.  I contacted almost everyone in our class over the life of that site.  What I found was much different than I suspected.  It was very strange to me that all my classmates were NOT interested in reconnecting many years after our high school graduation.  There were only 18 of us (fifteen boys and three girls) and most wanted to reconnect.  However, since not all wished to participate and many seemed somewhat disinterested, I did not continue the site beyond its initial subscription date.

A couple of months ago, like May, 2010, I learned of this service and took the info I had for our class, plugged it into this site and then became too busy to carry it forward.  A couple of weeks later, I learned this service would accomodate an entire school as opposed to just one class, so I began the process of converting the site to more than just a Class of '64 site, into a THS site.  I figure that we'll not have many grads or participation from classes before 1950, so I arbitrarily made 1950 the earliest date for graduating classes.  Should that not prove to be early enough, I can change that date.

What I hope to find from each class is someone with a yearbook from thier senior year who will scan the images of their class, label or name them with the senior's name and year, and forward them to me for posting on this site.  This will likely take a long time. but it should be fun to see the site grow as time goes on.

If you have questions, please contact me and I'll try to answer.  My name is John Ghormley.  I graduated in 1964 and lived south of Throckmorton on the old Billy Morrison place.  Prior to us moving there in January of 1956, Mr Fred Sweeden lived there with his family, most, maybe all, of whom attended school in Throckmorton.  Fred and my dad, worked for the same company and, surprisingly, we moved from Odessa, TX, to Throckmorton County, and they relocated the Sweeden family to Ector County, of which Odessa is the county seat.  Anyway, my contact information is:
