We're glad you found the site!  If you are new to this website, please read this entire page, as it should answer all of your questions on how to create your profile and password, update your personal information, and how to use this website.
 

This website was created by Steve Swingle and is now maintained by Sue Olsen.  It is completely FREE to all alumni who are listed as a classmate. You will never be asked to pay for creating your profile or accessing other alumni profiles. This website considers a "classmate" or “alumni” to be anyone who was a member of the WHS 1974.
 

Before you can update your personal information and access password protected pages, you must create your profile and password. Please click on "Falcon Profiles", find your name and click on it. Follow the prompts to create your profile and password. The password you enter during this process will be used as your login password. Look to see if you are on the Missing Classmates page and, if you are, just click on your name and follow the prompts to create your profile and password.  If you cannot find your name, please contact (sue.olsen55@gmail.com) to have your name added.

Please add my email address to your address book and adjust your spam settings to ensure you receive emails that keep you updated with the website and reunion details as they become available.

You have the option to password protect your personal profile, which blocks the general public and search engines from accessing your profile details. Once you create a profile, you will also be able to view profiles of your fellow classmates and begin interacting with them.

Once you have created your password and updated your profile, you may choose to keep your personal information private, such as your street address and phone number. When others click on your name, they will see your city and state, and any other contact information that you choose to put on your profile. However, if you send a message to a classmate through his or her profile, that classmate will obtain your email address so communication back and forth may occur.

Be sure to check back on the Home page to stay up to date with the latest WHS 1974 updates and view new announcements as they are posted. If you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions, please feel free to email me.
