Ken Ferguson: Under the
guise of a
9-year old's birthday party, the Homer chapter of the "He-Man Woman
Haters Club" inducted it's 12 charter members in the winter of
1968. With one exception, they were all members of what would become
the HCS class of 1977. Can you identify Pete Allen, Steve Cinquanti,
Brian Costa, Paul Diamond, John Fellows, Ken Ferguson, John Healey,
Derek Lienemann, Martin Knoble, Dale Murphy and Kirk Purcell. For extra
credit can you name the sole member of the class of 1975 that shared
the platform with the others? |

Another from Ken Ferguson:
The year was 1972. The entire country, still reeling from the Watergate
fiasco, was mistrusting of government and their elected officials at
all levels. Despite this new cynicism, these eager young faces embraced
the opportunity to serve their constituents and return a measure of
integrity to the political process. None of those pictured have been
named in any federal indictments.....yet! |
Phinal foto from Pherguson:
Quick! What does the acronym
M.A.C.O.S. stand for? It was an attempt, by the 5th grade faculty, to
take some of the pressure off our parents and teach us about the birds
and the bees and the salmon and the sea gulls and the baboons.
Personally I was more confused at the end of the process than I had
been at the beginning (my wife would confirm that a great deal of that
confusion lingers on to today). Anyway, the experience allowed three
participants to get their picture in the Cortland Standard (a HUGE deal
to your average 5th grader). I can identify myself and Dave Lundeen
without reading the caption. I have long since forgotten the name of
the salmon.

Steve Albro, Susie Kerr, Mark Darou, Ted McBride, Carl Thompson, Brent
Gorman, Brian Costa, anyone else remember who was there? |
From Brian Spollen:

From Kevin Dieffenbach:
This a picture John Abbott took at our 5th year reunion. We are up at
Song Mountain, where we just got kicked off the Go-cart track for
DWI!!! John A wrote that it actually got worse AFTER
this... '300 beers... Glen Haven Hotel... Stu's comedy act...'.

From Kathy Williams:
Attached are two newspaper photos (note the contemporaneously done
artwork on our illustrious president!!) and a photo of me and Beth
Coburn on the very first Earth Day! See, I have no shame! I'm having a
ball already. Can't wait to see everyone in July. |
|
From Martha Drake:
Here's a cool (I think) double-exposure: first exposure is of Kathy
Williams on Total Involvement Day in 8th grade, then the same frame was
exposed later during a trip to NYC with my family.

If you want your photos posted on

it. Thanks.
