First Web Site Visit
Welcome! If you are new to this web site, please read this page because it answers questions on how to get a password, make a profile and use the site.
This web site is hosted by www.classcreator.com and was created by the GRC '85 reunion committee. It's free to get a login for this site. A login is required to see all of the content on the site. Only GRC '85 alumni and invited teachers will get logins.
You have the option of password protecting 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 see the profiles of your fellow classmates and interact with them. Each profile has a picture of your classmate from the yearbook. We encourage you to post a current photo in your profile as well.
All contact information that you enter into this web site will be kept confidential. It will not be shared or distributed. Your contact information is private: your address and phone number can't be seen by classmates unless you grant permission on your profile. And even when you grant permission, access is only available to members of our class who have logins. Your email address is not viewable, though an email can be sent to you using the contact box at the bottom of your web page. However, if you send a message to someone through their profile, they will see your email address so that they can respond.
You will need to create a profile in order to access any password protected pages on the site. Start by clicking on the Classmate Profiles link. This will take you to a page with all our classmates' names, including yours. Find your name and click on it. Follow the prompts to create your profile. The password that you enter during this process will be used as your login password. You can personalize your page with information such as what have you been up to since high school, school memories, your family, and photos.
If you click "Remember Me" when you log in, you will not need to log in next time you go to the site. Note there is a password retrieval feature. Click on Forgot Password? If you can't remember your password and need to have it sent to you via email. You can log in from computers other than your home computer, but you will need to enter your password.
We have tried to include classmates who were in our class for at least two years but left Clark prior to 1985. If you don't see your name on the Classmate Profiles page, please contact us to have your name added.
If you change your email address, snail mail address, or phone number, please update those in your profile so when we download a hard copy for reunion planning purposes we will have your correct information.
Enjoy and have fun with the web site! Listen to the songs of the early '80s, play some classic arcade games, and read about the events of the early 1980's. Have other suggestions on what to put here? Let us know.
More Instructions:
How to upload pictures to your web page:
3. The Add Photo page gives basic instructions for uploading your photos. There are 3 places on this page to make entries.
- Sort: The sort number controls the order in which photos display on your page. By default your pictures will appear in the order you entered them, so this isn’t important for your first picture. But later if you want picture #5 to appear as #1, you will have to change the sort numbers on your pictures. If you delete a picture, the sort numbers for the remaining pictures do not change (e.g., if you delete picture #2 out of 4 pictures, you will show pictures #1, 3, and 4.)
- Caption: Caption is the description you write for your picture.
- Browse: This is the most important one, for this is how you find the picture on your computer and get it to appear on your page.
Now go to your Profile page and look for your picture and caption.
Shortcut for multiple pictures: If you are uploading several pictures that are in different folders, you can copy them to your desktop, then delete them later. Make sure you COPY, not move, your pictures, so you won’t delete the original.
If you are still having problems, contact us.

Would you like to put your favorite You Tube video on your Profile page? Here’s how:
On You Tube, make sure your video is showing in the play box. Example: you want to put the Muppets Mahna Mahna video on your site. (If you want to follow along, the URL is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTXyXuqfBLA&feature=related.)
To the right of the video you’ll see a gray box, and near the bottom of this box is the grayed word “Embed.” And just below that a long horizontal white box that contains the code for the video. When this code is placed in the Video box on your Edit Profile page, the video player with your video will appear and classmates can view it from your page. Here are the steps to get the code on your page:
1. With your mouse, left click once on the white window that contains the code. It should turn blue. (Alternately, you can move your mouse across the box until all the code turns blue.)2. On your keyboard hold down the Control key (Ctrl) and click the letter C key. This copies the code.3. On your Edit Profile page, locate the box “Videos.”4. Place your cursor inside the box and left click with your mouse.5. Now press the Control key and the letter V key on your keyboard. The Embed code will now appear in your box. The code should look like this:<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="https://www.youtube.com/v/QTXyXuqfBLA&hl=en&fs=1&color 1=0x234900&color2=0x4e9e00"></param><param name= "allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="https://www.youtube.com/v/QTXyXuqfBLA&hl=en&fs=1& color1=0x234900&color2=0x4e9e00" type="application/x- shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height= "344"></embed></object>6. In the Video Description box just below, enter a name for your video or something about your video, like: “What’s a Mahna Mahna? Who cares?” This will appear just below your video.7. Now click the Save button and go view your page.8. The video will appear before your pictures.9. If you need help, let us know.
