This fine piece of work shows how many registrations we have by decade and is now displayed on the main Alumni Directory page. But I thought it might be worthwhile to add it here. Though the data may not be particularly interesting, it is updated every time the page is loaded. The image is actually being created in real-time. Yes, I’m easily amused and frankly, surprised I was able to figure out how to do it.
Month: January 2008
Class of 1983 25th Reunion
Save Your Favorite Class
A month or so ago, the capability to display a single class was added to the Alumni Directory, but it was somewhat hindered by annoying messages when using the back button afterwards. The solution to that issue has also now enabled the ability to save a single class display as a bookmark or favorite, including a logical name.
Just select your class from the pull-down list in the Alumni Directory, click submit, then save the page as a favorite or bookmark. Your class directory will automatically be generated every time you select that bookmark or favorite.
John Sullivan ’72 on YouTube
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKJjpE2infY
I found a video of the late John Sullivan ’72 that documents his making of a mandolin. I think this dates back to 1999. There are 3 parts that make up the complete video.
It’s easy to see why he was so well respected among musicians.
Alumni Basketball
Thanks to Tiffany Marvin Cotsonas for organizing the alumni basketball games last Saturday. There was a good turnout of players and spectators. Bill Lewis, Bill Burnett and Randy Luke from the Class of 1972 played. Here is a list of players: Paul Marvin ’00, Sam Weeche ’96, Shelly Sanchez ’02, Marty Aman ’78, Kyle Marvin, John Cotsonas ’91, Brian Miller ’00, Bill Doyle ’83, Kara Miller ’01, Nikki Sanchez ’00, Bob King ’00, Eric Alvito ’07, Josh Britt ’07, Erika Schnepf ’07, Ryan Aman ’07, Lamar Simpson ’06, Shawn Gillow ’05, Tiffany Cotsonas ’97, Brendan McCallum ’07, Kaitlin Hollenbeck ’07, Kara McCallum ’02, Bryan Tailee ’79, Ryan Gallo ’96, Adam Luke ’00, Tim McBride ’00, Jay Hannon ’03, Matt Luke ’07.
Lee Slocum ’58 was in attendance, but didn’t lace up the sneaks this year.
Sorry, if there were a few I missed. If you didn’t make this one, another event is planned for next year.
Back to Normal?
I think most of the major problems that occurred as a result of a server upgrade are fixed. If you observe any strange errors or problems, let me know.
If you attempted to register here in the last few days, and nothing was happening, please try again. The registration system is now working properly.
New Yearbook Photo and Site Weblog Post
I decided to utilize the photo I scanned from the 64 yearbook to remember Dick Ficarra for the Yearbook Picture of the Week. That’s pretty much how I remembered him, looking sharp sitting on a motorcycle around 1963.
I also added a post to the site weblog. But it’s late, and maybe it doesn’t make much sense. Maybe in the morning I’ll edit it or delete it. Who knows.
96 and 97 Yearbook Covers Added
We finally have 1996 and 1997 Yearbook Covers added to our collection. Now only missing 1998 and 1999 (and possibly 1950?? Is there such a thing, or was 1951 the first. Anybody know?)
Thanks to Tiffany Marvin Cotsonas ’97 for use of the yearbooks.
