Please note that if you do not want your name on this site it may be removed by contacting us. This will end all communications to you from the class of '70, unless you ask that special arrangements be made.

Choosing a password: Passwords here do not need to be the high security style recommended for some sites. Choose something simple that you are certain you will remember. Clicking the "Remember Me" will allow you to bypass entering the password each time you visit, but eventually the "remember me" will fail. Please make note of your password!!
If you forget your password, and you don't remember where you wrote it down the site administrator will send you a temporary password so you can log-in. Simply click on "forgot password). If have have several e-mail accounts, and you don't remember the one you used to set-up your account, contact us, and the information will be sent to you. This could take several hours so please be patient.
4. "MISSING" MEMBERS
The site assembles a missing list for us, based solely on the names of people who don't have profiles; so until you have a profile, the site will consider you "missing".
5. COMMUNICATING WITH MEMBERS
To contact a member, you may simply use the e-mail option at the bottom of each Member's Profile page. This feature will allow open communication between members, while protecting your personal information. If you wish to share your e-mail address or other personal information within a message written on our site, the site will not block you from doing so.
6. ADDING PICTURES TO YOUR PROFILE
Adding current pictures is not a requirement to participate on the site, but it certainly is a nice way to get to know people again.
To add pictures:
On the homepage, locate the links on the left side under "MEMBER FUNCTIONS".
Click on the link: Edit/Upload Photos.
The Photo page will appear and you’ll see a gray box titled: Upload New photo. Click on this box
On the Add Photo page you will find the basic instructions for uploading your photos. There are 3 places on this page to make entries.
Sort: The sort number controls the order in which photos display on your page. By default your pictures will appear in the order you entered them, so this isn’t important for your first picture. But later if you want picture #5 to appear as #1, you will have to change the sort numbers on your pictures.
Caption: Caption is the description you write for your picture.
Browse: Use this to find the picture on your computer. Clicking "browse" will open a window where you will be able to see a list of the folders on your computer. Locate the folder that holds your picture. For most classmates this will be the My Pictures folder located in the My Documents folder.
Select the picture you want to upload by clicking on it once, and then click Open at the bottom of the box.
Now you will be taken back to the Add Photo page and in the Upload Photo box you will see the path to your picture.
Enter the Caption for your picture in the box.
Click the SAVE CHANGES button.
To see your picture, go to your Profile page and look for your picture and caption.
