40th Reunion Planning
Part of our distinguished planning committee! (click for larger pic.)
Planning for our 40th reunion is in full swing. Preliminary plans are to have it on Saturday October 17, 2009 at the Marines Memorial Club in Downtown SF. The Golf event will be Friday October 16, 2009 at Poplar Creek in San Mateo (just past the airport) and will be organized by John O'Conner.
The next planning meeting will be on Wednesday June 10 at 6pm in SI's Alumni conference room. Contact Mike Taheny (415-564-1300) if you want to be involved with the planning!
New! See Discussions note below!
| Location: Tarantino's at Fisherman's Wharf |

Check out the SI archive photo links below. I have re-enabled the Discussions link in the page banner at the top of each page. This will allow you to post messages to the guestbook where we can carry on planning discussions for all to see. Supposedly this is a spam-free service, however that remains to be determined; we shall see! I recommend creating a user account so that your name (whatever you pick) will be visible. Email addresses are not needed or displayed. With the web-based photo viewing album, users can choose to view a slide show or manually scroll through pictures; you can even add comments to make fun of your classmates. Individual photos can be emailed to friends and can even be submitted for photo processing (at some cost, of course). The photo album is here. |
SI Archive photos
There is a site that has many, many photos from SI from the 1800's to the present. You can even purchase some of these for $500 each !!! Fortunately, browsing is free. Check out the SI Archive Photos Site or the entire set of pictures at this link.
Talking Like a Native
John Martini dug up this old article by Chronicle writer Carl Nolte
titled "Talking Like A Native", which describes the tribal characteristics
of our vanishing breed - native San Franciscans. SI even gets a mention
about halfway through. Although the story is a few years old (e.g., the reference to broadcaster
Van Amburg on KGO), it's still pretty relevant today. Read it here!

Nostalgia time!
If you don't already feel old enough, you will when you read some of the events that were happening around the time we graduated. Here is a list of events and music that made up the Year of 1969.
How much do you remember?
You spent all those years learning about history, literature, science, geography, and math, and what do you remember? Let's see if you still know some of the things you learned--or should have learned--when you were in school. This is a simple
10-question test. Any SI grad should get at least 70%. More tests on various subjects are available at
Encarta.
If you had Mr. Parker for Chemistry, you should try the 10-question Chem test. However, I disagree with their answer to #7 and have proof here (middle of page) to back it up.
