Important Site & Contact Information
The section marked Site Information will contain most of the changes on the site made by the Administrator.
Be sure to look at the Class News and Class Message Board for changes, also.
It has come to my attention that some of you do not have Adobe Reader installed on your computers. This is a free program designed to allow the reading of Portable Document Files (PDF). As this is the best way for me to attach files to your Email for you to read, you will need this program.
To download and install Adobe Reader click the button below that is associated with your computer.
For Windows users, if you do not want the Google bar on your Browser, remove the check in the Free Google Toolbar box.
This site will always be under construction! Check back often for Up-dates and Class Reunion information.
On this site, you have many things that you can post directly into. You can post just anything on your profile. The exceptions are listed below for first what you can do. In the right column there are 3 things that you can post to if you have logged on, Recent Reviews, Recommended Recipes and Prayer Requests. In the left column there is Our Class Message Board. I recommend that you type the message you want to post into a word processor first and then after you have spell checked it, The copy it to the clipboard and paste it into the location you have selected. This is true of the profile also. On the profile, you can answer all the questions listed but remember that these postings will be shown to the public at large. You have to have the administrator or assistant post the Yearbook and Now picture on the Profile. On the Home Page the administrator must do the posting to The Calendar, Family News Summary, Reunion Announcement area and Featured Links. If you have a movie, slide show or an album of pictures that you would like to show, your can post those on your Profile page. If it is worthy of the Home Page, contact the Administrator and the information can be moved from your site to the Home Page. I also have the ability to make links to some profiles from the Home Page. For help or assistance, make selection below.
For help or assistance, click on one of the selections below.
Just to the right are some links to various Class Sites. Please check out these sites by clicking on the link name. There are sections that you
can post in just below the Featured Links. Please feel free to use them. Do not forget about the Class Message Board and the Family News Summary sections.
You can post entries there also.
I would like to thank the 49 who have registered.
Instructions to post Pictures, Slideshows and Videos on your Profile.
Placing pictures or even a slideshow of your pictures is something that you can do on your Profile.
For pictures, you will want to make a photo album and use the services of photobucket.com or the other providers of these types of services. I believe that photobucket is what Karen uses and if you have any problems, she could direct you in using this service.
For Slides, you need to go through slide.com or slideshow.com for the making of a slideshow. They are download sites that will make the slideshow for you. You download the pictures, order them the way you want them to be shown and you can even select background music.
Once this is done, they provide the HTML coding to be placed on the profile. I would open a text editor like Notepad to save the HTML coding there first as you do not want to loose this. It is the access to those pictures. Then post the code to the Profile in the Slideshow section provided.
I use Windows Movie Maker and download what I made to youtube.com where they make the video and store it for you. They, also, give you the HTML code that you insert into your profile page.
If you are planning on taking on this type of project and feel uneasy in doing such, select the green Assistance button in the blue box above and drop me a line.
Missing Classmates
Many of these missing attended with class members that went on to graduate. They did not finish their High School Experience in at Ashland High School through no fault of their own. During their attendacnce at AHS, they made friends with others of our class and now have been lost to time.
Our Class Message Board
Your participation is requested!
We would like to hear from you. Post your messages here.
We survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they were pregnant
They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna and meat from a can, and didn't get tested for diabetes.
We ate slushies from the freezer frost
We were put to sleep on our tummies in baby cribs covered with bright colored lead-based paints.
We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes we had no helmets.
We would ride in cars with no car seats, booster seats, seat belts or air bags and riding in the back of a pick up was always a special treat.
We drank water from the garden hose
We shared one soft drink with four friends and NOONE actually died from this
We ate cupcakes, white bread and real butter and drank Kool-aid made with sugar, but we weren't overweight because,
WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!
We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on
No one was able to reach us all day. And we were O.K.
We did not have Playstations, Nintendo's, X-boxes, 150 channels on cable, no DVD's, no surround-sound or CD's, no cell phones, no personal computer! s, no Internet or chat rooms......
We would spend hours building our go- carts out of scraps and then ride down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes but bushes did the trick
We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no lawsuits
We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever
We were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays, made up games with sticks and tennis balls and we did not poke out very many eyes
We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just walked in and talked to them!
Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!!
The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law!
These generations have produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors ever!
The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.
We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned HOW TO DEAL WITH IT ALL!
If YOU are one of them CONGRATULATIONS!
Kind of makes you want to run through the house with scissors, doesn't it?!
