Shout outs:
Thanks to all the attendees who made the reunion a fun-filled weekend of reminiscing and reconnecting.

Thanks to all the volunteers.  The reunion would not have gone so smoothly without all the people who helped organize, coordinate, call, spread the word, track down classmates, set up & clean up, decorate, gather memorabilia, take photos, make salads/appetizers/desserts,  provide music, check people in, hang banners, bartend, create slide shows, and emcee our events.

Thanks to all our donors.  Without all the small & generous donations we wouldn't have been able to pay for all the reunion expenses and goodies.

Reunion Photos

Please upload your photos!  We would love to see them.

We just added another Photo Gallery for all the wacky photos taken at our Reunion Photobooth.
50 Year Dinner Photobooth Photos

******************************

Hi 1975 Classmates,
PAUSD will be creating recording studios at Cubberley in the ‘I’ building, our former library. As an employee of PAUSD, I will be ordering all the needed equipment. The new studios suites will support teacher collaboration and creation of lessons and content for distance learning, for our students during Coronavirus pandemic times.
I felt so filled with pride as I prepared the first orders. It really had me pondering 45 years since high school. I remember at our 20 year reunion laughing and talking about how weird it would be to go to a reunion in our 60’s. Well, we’re here and no physical reunion. It guess we were right 20 years ago. Weird.
