70 Year Reunion Announcement!
A POSSIBLE REUNION IN 2026, YES!!!!
South High School's 100th anniversary celebration SEE VIDEO BELOW Mother's Day video!!!!!
UPDATE:::The following article has come to me on FaceBook. You may want to do some sort of reunion around the day in April. What better way to celebrate our 70th with a big crowd of people that would admire your longevity!-----
Denver South High School is getting ready to celebrate a BIG birthday...100 YEARS!
The PTSA, along with SHAFI (South High Alumni and Friends, Inc) are working together with South students, staff and community to celebrate the past and raise excitement for the next 100 years.
Throughout this school year the building will see some added decor celebrating 100 years. This will include banners, posters and more featuring the 100 YR Denver South logo, designed by South students.
The ROTC and National Honor Society will be working on yearlong service projects. One of these will feature bulb planting and ground beautification.
The music department is commissioning a new South song which will debut this spring.
A new mural is being created for the interior of the building. It has been designed and executed by South students and the art department.
Treasures from the Alumni museum will be brought up and displayed throughout the year.
Finally, in the spring we want to celebrate with the entire South community! Saturday, April 11 South HS will open their doors and offer tours, speakers, music, booths, food and more! Planning is currently underway.
Mark your calendars because this will be a party you will not want to miss!
Wanna get involved in the planning? Reach out to Crissy at [email protected]
I have just read this from the SHAFI alumni newsletter. There is going to be a 100th celebration April 10/11/2026. Perhaps we can doing something during that period of time??? Please speak out to me or SHAFI if you are interested.
**************************************
Aloha Classmates:
What a wonderful time to get our class together to celebrate its 70th anniversary. There must surely be some way we can piggyback our reunion to the one that is being planned for the school. I have heard from a number of you who live at a distance that are willing to travel to a reunion. Who I have not heard from is anyone living in the greater Denver area, either to attend or more importantly help in any small way. I am going to get in touch with Francis Tafoya who does the FaceBook page for SHAFI, she has good contacts with the reunions scheduled at South. If there is anyone out there who is interested in attending or helping in a small way with a reunion next year please email me, cut and paste my address into your own email program. [email protected] Hope to see you at South in 2026.

Between having Covid at Christmas, which took my soulmate of 64 years, and minor annoying computer problems...... I think I am back on track of some kind. A bit of a backlog to catch up on

After high school (one week) I entered the Navy with classmates Bob Speicher and Arnold Stackelbeck, stayed on active duty in the far east until 1960; returned to Denver, worked at Graham Paper Co., Western Electric, Color-Wrap of Colo., married in 1963, divorced in 1964, first child was born in 1965 after divorce; moved to Michigan in 1965 (Detroit suburbs) worked for Zantop Air Transport, AT&T Long Lines (remained with various Bell System Companies until 1993); married second time 1967 (met my wife via computer dating--a new thing back then), two adopted children from marriage, promoted and moved to New Jersey in 1978. Retired in 1993, moved to Sedona AZ until both my wife and I got cancer, I had a heart attack and decided to move back east to be closer to our daughter and our two granddaughters in 2000. I never did go to college but went to a number of higher learning schools to advance myself with the Bell System. My hobbies are exercising, oil painting, and astronomy. My wife makes jewelry. My health has gone downhill in 2020. Besides heart problems I now have colon cancer and am in chemo therapy. My wife health is less than average. My sister who graduated from South in 1941 passed away in Denver at age 95. Also lost a newphew to pancreatic cancer. Now only myself and a nephew are left. The rest of the family has passed. This year we made a life changing move. We have moved from PA to UT into a Independent Living facility.
Our house owning days are over. ( that above turned out to be a lie. We have moved to Arizona and bought a 5 bedroom house which we share with our daughter and granddaughter). We have moved out of snow country into a very warm climate.
We have one 12 year old grandson in Las Vegas. Maybe he will graduate from high school in 5 years since our granddaughters did not.
