2012 Announcements

THE FOLLOWING HAS NOT YET BEEN UPDATED SINCE OUR 40TH REUNION

Welcome back to 1972!

We've started this journey into the past and you can make it truly memorable for all of us.

Please take a few minutes and bring us back to those good times at Dear Old Davis High.

  • complete your profile
  • fill in some favorite memories
  • send messages to your classmates
  • dig into those contact lists and help us find the long losties
  • scan your photos, funny moments, pics of you in that uniform (you know the one)
  • make suggestions for us!

I don't know about you, but Monday isn't typically the best day of the week for most of us.  

That is unless it's the Monday just before you get to see all of the wonderful people you knew in High School - many of whom you haven't seen since.   Think back on those crazy times or read about them here - start with Vince Eccles History of Hysterical Dates.   Then take a trip around the world with David "Waldo" Kirkham - don't miss his amazing photo jounal.   Ken Burns is assembling a crew for that story.

Check out the photos posted by Michelle "I never sleep" Dean, who has tirelessly worked to make this site fun and full of surprises.   There will be food, fun t-shirts and an auction!   Music!  Memories!  Spontaneous bursts of joy and laughter!  All can be yours!

But wait, there's more.   Everyday new profiles come to life, another lost soul is found and messages appear  from those you miss the most, just when you thought nobody remembered.  Have you checked yours yet?  

Jump in.   You've waited long enough.   Just imagine how you're going to feel... smile muscles sore, hugged to pieces, tears welling up when you least expect it.  

Here's a little preview.   

(If you think Monday was fun, just wait til Saturday!)

Classmates, I lied.  Last week you were promised a flaming missile of guilt, aimed at all those who haven’t responded to various, more pleasant, invitations.

My bad.  I've been away too long and have forgotten that most of us are neither Catholic nor Italian and therefore missing that requisite guilt gene.   

Instead, I'll appeal to your general sense of fairness:  

We really just want to hear from you!

Check in!

Consider how much more time you’ve had to do your bit than, say, Moses.      

He spent 40 days and 40 nights wandering in the wilderness before he figured out what to do.

You've had 40 years to plan for this.    And you won’t need to chisel on stone, just type a quick profile or find a kid who will do it for you.

More time, less work.   And you have more help.   A small but capable DHS geek squad is standing by just for you.  Call us!  603-966-8246 (Colleen) 801-557-2391 (Michelle)

Just in case you're too busy to read whole paragraphs or you're a "list person", this is for you:

  1. open the link     CLICK HERE
  2. fill in the blanks
  3. talk to your spouse, equivalent really-important-person, or yourself
  4. decide how you're going to attend the most fun event of the past 4 decades
  5. fill in the RSVP
  6. pay the relatively tiny donation – your entry into Reunionpalooza
  7. pat yourself on the back
  8. dig out your D-book
  9. laugh, cry, scratch your head, repeat until convinced you have to be there

Alternatively, if you're a "just tell me what to do" person:   CLICK HERE

If this fires you up, help us find everyone else who has, so far, managed to hide.  PLEASE!

Thank you and see you soon!

"Do, or do not. There is no try."

You've got 2.5 weeks to make some hay.  In the time it takes you to read this clevery crafted prodding, you could have written your profile already and joined the 57 others who saw the light saber.

Let's go for it.

- schedule the haircut
- whiten your teeth
- try on your old uniform and make your kids laugh
- get those contacts you've been talking about for years
- just say no to Botox - your smile made those creases and it makes you fun
- practice the dance moves - someone is bound to blast an 8-track in the parking lot    that night
- bust out the Grecian Formula - you know you've just been waiting for an excuse!
- jam in two weeks of P90X
- complete your profile for our reunion
- dig through those little black books and find the missing Darts


If you do it now, you can feel pretty self- satisfied when you get the incoming flaming missle of guilt I have aimed at non-participants next week.  Just sayin'.... your call of course.
 

May the force be with you.

"We're up to stuff, we never, never, never bluff... "

40 years later, the darned song is still stuck in my head.   Why?  Check out some of the D'artifacts that could jar your memory.   And be sure to dive into this page and relive those crazy dances!   Don't forget to help us find the missing classmates.   We have only 3 weeks to go!

If you haven't had a chance to sign-up for our free reunion site, you're missing some great pictures, life stories, music and memories.   You were never one to miss out on anything, so...

Take 5 minutes.  Let the papers pile up, let the grand kids play, let the weeds grow.  Don't pass up the chance to see what we've become!  More importantly, add your own personal touch.   Share some funny stories and tell someone how much you've missed them.  

Go for it!

LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT!
 

Davis High School
Class Of 1972

Hello!

We are one month away from our 40th year class reunion – Get ready.  We finally have a website up and running and ready for your personal touch!  I personally would love to see some news, stories and photos from every one of you.  I know that Michele Dean Jackman, Colleen Tanner Clark and Wanda Price Lewis have worked countless hours to set up a template for us all to work with.  It's easy to use and we're already catching up on 40 years of life.

Please go to the website located at https://www.classcreator.com/Kayville-Utah-Davis-1972 to fill in your profile information and upload your pictures.  I am a little technologically challenged and if I can do it, we all can do it.  If every one does this it will be even more fun.  I can’t believe the enjoyment that I have had reviewing just the first few profiles that our classmates have posted.  Please join us in this effort.  
 
There are so many of us who we haven't contacted.   Please, if you know how to reach a classmate for whom we have no contact info, forward this link on to them or send their info to us.
 
Additionally, I know that many of you have had successes beyond comparison.  I think it is time to give back.  We are taking over the Davis High School Endowment Fund and want to solicit donations of all kinds, sizes and shapes.  We are going to have a silent auction on the evening of our event on August 18th specifically to raise funds for this cause.  If you have anything of value that you feel you could donate to the cause, we would appreciate it.  Just send the descriptions of your items to me at brentferrin@gmail.com as soon as possible so we can arrange for the silent auction.


Thanks again for all of your participation and hopefully we will see all of you at the reunion.
