Looking back I realize what a Class Act Skyline was. It always seems those that had fun in High School come to the Reuions. I transfered in Spring of 67 from Gresham, OR and needless to say it took a little time to adapt.

The Girls were cute, State Street was great, and looking back I left to fast June of 1968 for the Bay.

Back in Oregon since 1972!!

If Robyn Aguirre or Gary Nichols would show up next reuion ..............

 

I was one of the ones that didn't want to go to any of it because of self-image problems.  I decided to quit worrying about it and just go.  What a great time!! I feel this was the first reunion where people were focusing on each other and just making sure we were OK with our lives.  It wasn't about how successful you are, or what great things you have accomplished, or what positions you have held.  (I hope that's not too mean)  I felt everyone was genuinely interested in talking to all that came.  We would look at the name tag first.  Then we would just hug and chat.

Thank you for all your hard work on this.  Both venues had lots to offer.  Each one different and great!                                          Hope to run into some of you before the next one.  Joyce

Hello old friends, good to here from all of you. Well I have been married for 38 years as of the 18th of this month. We had three children and now have five grand children and life has been great. I have been in the pipe trades all of my career and will retire in two years. I plan on traviling a lot more. I never grew up and don't suppose I ever will. I love to fish , mountain bike and cruse. Looking forward to seeing you all Saturday

Sharon and I were so looking forward to coming to the reunion this time, but recent unexpected changes in family plans makes it impossible to attend after all.  Thanks to you who have contacted us and reconnected even though we will be absent.  Have a great time.

     Curious thing this Internet.  I hadn’t subscribed, yet my email kept being pummeled with messages, events, searches and such, from “Classmates” and “Reunion”.  What’s a Guestbook?  I opened them a while back finding there was a map indicating my house.  That’s not my house in Classmates, Scottsdale yes, but further North, surrounded by a lot of desert between homes and a golf course.   There are a hundred James Cluff, what with a great grandfather and his five wives and thirty-five children and his brother, who begat likewise, let alone my identity being pinched.  Perhaps one of those is the me in Classmates?  Will the real James Cluff please stand?  I noticed that most every ’68 Eagle produced a few “Desmond and Molly Jones”?  A Reunion?  Forty years?  I don’t wanna grow up, at least not that much!  If someone attends claiming to be James Cluff and offers to buy drinks at the bar, well heck, let him! 

     Shortly after Dory McQuarrie’s wedding I exited the Valley in search of a second opinion.  I have owed Marcia Timmerman an apology for as many years for a remark I made at the reception that was meant to be tongue-in-cheek, but failed.  My current whereabouts is 18.43° N and 64.71° W.  Caribbean waters or Mediterranean, I can’t decide which I enjoy most.  I told Doug that I liked being surrounded by water and/or sand and to hear graceful accents.  Jimmy Buffet and Margaritaville are around here somewhere.  I’ll keep searching.  Storms chase you here and there at this time of year but, have charted a course for SLC by September, though I’m not sure the trade winds are favorable at that time.  Invitation received.  Have fun, kids.

I can hardly believe that this is happening.  How did I get so old?  It seems like yesterday when I was singing in Concert Choir, Madrigals, playing  in the orchestra and finding a little time for homework.
I am looking forward to seeing my old friends and talk about the great times we had.  I hope I recognize faces and remember names. But don't count on it since i hardly recognize myself anymore.

I transferred to Skyline between my Sophomore and Junior year.  I attended Jordan my Sophomore year where I knew almost everyone, a school of nearly 900.  I played football my Sophomore year – all 5’6” and 120 pounds of me.  I never went out for football at Skyline, knowing I was way too small.  I really enjoyed watching the Skyline football games – especially my Senior year when they took STATE!  I thought those football players were “awesome”.

It was very hard for me academically at Skyline.  At Jordan, I did very little homework and got B’s and C’s.  At Skyline, I actually tried very hard.  Let’s just say I did graduate.

I had seminary as a Junior   My teacher was Brother Call.  He seemed to have things together, selling shoes at night, teaching seminary by day and he was newly married.  I believe he had a new little daughter.  As I look back I probably got more out of that class than most others.  In Brother Call’s class I had a secret crush on 2 girls, Sharon and Elaine.  I don’t remember much else except I thought the girls at Skyline were very attractive.

Although it was a painful experience going to Skyline my Junior year, not knowing many students, I was able to finally adapt and became more outgoing.  I enjoyed my senior year and hung out with Guy Thornberg.  Guy lived down the street from me.  During our Senior year, his folks moved to Oregon and so Guy moved in with my family. 

I bought a ‘65 Chevy Super Sport working nights at Deseret Book downtown.  I enjoyed racing that round my senior year. 

40 years is a long time but there are great memories I still enjoy.   I often wonder what happeded to Steve Lewis, Pete Black, Tom Kalagorie, and Tom Faust.  If you guys are alive, I’d love to hear from you.  I still live in Holladay.

Greetings!  I have one son who married a wonderful girl with two little boys whom he has raised and is living in Austin, Texas. I graduated from Westminster College of Nursing and have been working as an RN for 26 years. Have lived in Colorado and Northern California and am now back in SLC. The last reunion I attended was in 1978 and it was a blast. Thanks to all those putting this one together.

We've got a great reunion planned.  There are some who have worked so hard.  We need everyone to come so that we can reconnect and catch up.  I'm really looking forward to seeing you all.

This sounds like fun.  What a great idea to have a hike in the canyon.  I haven't kept in touch with any of my high school friends.  It will be a treat to see everyone.  I'll bring the pep club history scrapbook that I found in the Skyline locker room trash several years ago.  What a coincidence!
