1. THE PURPOSE OF THIS WEBSITE

This site was created as an online community for members of Germantown High School's Class of 1969. This is where everyone knows your name!

No worries about privacy: your information will not be shared unless you want it to be.

Please contact us with your questions, suggestions for this site, and to share information on missing classmates. Memphis area classmates love to get together, so let us know if you are coming to the Memphis area. Email:  GHS69Reunion@att.net.

2. PRIVACY NOTICE

All contact information (address, phone number, e-mail address) that you enter into this website will be kept confidential. The host of this web site, ClassCreator.com, is a locally-owned business. They understand the importance of your privacy. Your personal information will never be sold to other sites. It will not be shared or distributed.

Your contact information is private; your street address, e-mail address, and phone number cannot be seen by classmates. Each classmate has the ability to limit the visibility of his or her profile to only fellow classmates by clicking on the appropriate answer in the Profile Visibility section during profile setup. If you do not opt for privacy on this line your profile can be viewed by non-members such as your friends or family, but also note your profile will be fully indexable by major search engines.

Finding your class web site Profile pages by searching Google or other major search engines:

  • If you are signed on to the site and restricted your profile to only fellow classmates, and then use a search engine to see if the privacy options above are working, it will appear they are NOT. This is only because you are signed into the site. Sign out and check again. You will see that none of your profile information is viewable by non members.

 

Emails may be shared within this site using the contact option at the top of each classmate's profile page (just look under the classmate's main photo in the upper left). This way you will be able to contact classmates without sharing your private email address, unless you choose to do so.

All class Email news sent from us to you via this web site: For those of you with spam blocking or email filtering capabilities, please add noreply@classcreator.net to your email account as a safe sender in order to ensure you receive email communications from us.

Please note that if you do not want your name and picture on this site it may be removed by contacting us at GHS69Reunion@att.net. This will end all communications to you from the Germantown High School Class of 1969, unless you ask that special arrangements be made.

3. SETTING UP YOUR PROFILE

In order to access the pages that are password protected on this site, you must set up a profile by providing a minimum of your email address, and a password.

To set up your profile: locate the "Classmate Profiles" link and locate your name and click on it. Follow the prompts to create your profile.

Private information like your email address, home address, and phone numbers will not be visible to fellow classmates. We collect mailing addresses in the event that we need to contact you by snail mail or phone. Your information will never be given to other classmates without your permission.

We encourage you to add a current picture to your profile as a master photo. This photo will be displayed in various areas around the site. We have already added senior yearbook pictures. Feel free to add photos from any time period, now or whenever. We want to share the years we have missed!

If you were part of the Germantown (TN) High School Class of 1969 and your name is not already listed, contact us and your name will be added. 

Stay in the loop! This is our official class database. If you change your email address, snail mail address, phone number, or name, please update your Contact Info or email us at GHS69Reunion@att.net. You may choose to keep any portion of your Contact Info private, but we hope you will allow our site Administrators want to keep you informed of significant events in our class community.

Passwords:

Choosing a password: Passwords do not need to be the high security style recommended for some sites. Choose something simple that you are certain you will remember. Clicking the "Remember Me" will allow you to bypass entering the password each time you visit, but eventually the "remember me" will fail (for instance when you get a new computer). Please make note of your password!

If you forget your password simply click on "forgot password". If you have several email accounts, and you don't remember the one you used to set-up your account, contact us at GHS69Reunion@att.net. (Replies are not automatically generated, so please be patient. We promise to get back to you.)
