Reminder to Classmates

There are three ways you can communicate with classmates:

  1. You can go to their Classmate Profile page and leave a comment. Note that all your other classmates who have so elected will receive an e-mail notifying them of your comment and will be directed to that page where they can read it. You may want to use this somewhat sparingly.
  2. You can use the Message Center, under Member Functions, to write a directed private message to one or more classmates. If they wish, they can then respond directly to you in a private message.
  3. You can Post Announcement, also under Member Functions, which, after a few hours (for vetting purposes, keep it clean please surprise ), will be displayed here on the Home Page for all to see.

Actually there's a 4th method too. You can use Message Forums (above Member Functions) where you can have more complex dialogues on subjects of your choosing with classmates who elect to participate.

Thank you!

 

 


At the reunion some of you were asking what was going to happen to the web site after the reunion. The planning committee, using funds that you all helped provide, have paid Class Creator, the host system, the necessary fees to keep the site going for another 5 years and it is our plan to keep it going.

We welcome more content, your active participation, and strongly encourage you to keep your profile current (both contact information and also tell us what mischief you've been up to) and maintain connections with fellow classmates.

 

 

We're still actively recruiting contributions (photos, clippings, etc.) from classmates' personal collections to be shared here. Root around a little in your sock drawer and show us what ya got!

 Note: Photos should be sent to JCM@batavia61.com.
 
If you're unsure of how to do this, you might want to go to a commercial site (Office Depot, Office Max, Staples, or similar), give them the actual photos to scan and have them send the images to JCM@batavia61.com. Subsequently we can work out where the photos should go on the site, titles, etc.

Welcome to the Batavia (NY) High School
Class of 1961 Web Site!


Members of the class of '61, if you haven't already done so please register and fill in your profile (you can update it at any time later as well).

If you are having any problems or want something changed/added, please let us know through the Contact Us link. This is your web site.

We expect to be adding more capabilities in the next few months so be sure to come back. This is where the Reunion Planning Committee will first make their announcements for our upcoming 50th. Also, as more of you update your profiles, we hope this will encourage you to come back and start dialogs with your fellow classmates.

Ever Batavia!

This site isn’t about waistlines, hairlines or credit lines...

It’s about lifelines.

It’s about reconnecting with our friends from some of the best years of our lives!

 

 

 

 

In March of 2011 Joanne Beck of the Batavia Daily News wrote an article about this site. Here's a link to that article.

 

 

 

Acknowledgement

I am deeply indebted to Paul Huff (BHS '59) who trailblazed the way on setting up his BHS class of '59 web site. Paul has been very generous and patient in helping me with this site. Thank you, Paul.

Class of '59: Older and Wi...., well, I'll give them Older.  

-Jim
