There were approximately 560 of us who graduated in 1960. Scores of others were a part of the class but either graduated elsewhere, graduated later, or didn't graduate. But, once a member of this class, always a member of this class. This web site is dedicated to all of those who were a part of the class for any length of time.
We intend to keep this web site alive as a continuing tribute to our class. It will be a place where you can always find e-mail addresses, photos from the past, and information about plans for the next reunion.
This counter shows the number of hits on this site since the last reunion, the 45th reunion, October 2005. Este contador demuestra el número de golpes en este sitio desde la 45.a reunión, octubre de 2005.
Take a look, we have more than 200 classmates listed on the e-mail page. You may be able to contact some friends that you have lost touch with over the years.
If you are not yet listed on the e-mail directory page, you can be added if you send an e-mail to any of us listed below:
IF YOU CHANGE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS, PLEASE LET ONE OF US KNOW SO THE EMAIL DIRECTORY IS UPDATED AND CURRENT!

Himmel Park
Many of us spent a lot of time at the pool at Himmel Park during the summers. It looks exactly the same today as it did 55 years ago. For those of you who don't live in Tucson these days, you might enjoy taking a look at this short slide show.

Did you loose your THS diploma? Would you like a replacement? If you would like one, I'll be happy to make one for you. All you have to do is send me an e-mail with your name as you would like it printed on your diploma and your mailing address.
(I sent an e-mail to each of the officials listed on the diploma but none of them responded, so I assume it is OK to make replacements.)

I was looking at some old newspapers and found an obituary for another classmate…Tonie Jo Anderson Warrior Brown.

Tucson has changed a lot since we graduated. We drove around and took a bunch of photos. There are still some familiar sites but there is a lot that's new. The New and The Old in Tucson.

There is an excellent art gallery on North Swan called the De Grazia Gallery. If you have never been there, take a look. Even if you have been there before you will enjoy taking another look.

Sabino Canyon is familiar to all of us who grew up in Tucson. These days you must park at the entrance. You can't drive up into the canyon and all the way to end like we used to do. You can purchase a ticket to ride the tram up to the end however. Seeing Sabino again after 50 years brings back a lot of memories. Take a look.

For those of you who don't live in Tucson and who have not seen our old school recently, here is a quick trip around the campus. It takes 1 1/2 minutes to drive around completely (if you stick to the speed limit, which we never did 50 years ago).
December 12, 2009
Some of us remember the rules issued (or reissued) by Dean of Girls Calanthe Brazelton at some point during our four years at THS. The rules included a ban on wearing red dresses because they got the boys excited and no patent leather shoes because they were shinny and acted like mirrors reflecting up under the dresses of the girls which got the boys excited too. Was there any more to the rule that you can remember?
There must have been some validity to those rules, there was even a book on the subject written in 1975. (Thanks to Kari An Salyer for finding a copy and sending it).
December 11, 2009
The movies in the late 1950s. We went to drive-ins a lot. We didn't really care what was playing, did we? 
We went for the popcorn. 
Yeah, right! But there were some very good movies made in those years. Do you remember? You do? Which movie won the academy award in 1960? Can't remember?
What about music? 
Which songs won Grammy Awards in 1960?
The answers are on the page we call Do You Remember.

Alicia Cheechoff Bellantoni - This info was sent in by her long-time friend and our classmate Sylvia Avenente Dickinson.
Alicia and Ernest Bellantoni were married April 15, 1961 and relocated to San Diego where they currently live. They have four adopted children and ~8 grandchildren. Alicia was diagnosed with a rare form of Cushing's Syndrome in the '80's. As a result of Cushing's Syndrome, Alicia today is bedridden and dependent on her husband and a team of in-home care givers. Alicia has undergone numerous surgeries and treatments and specialists in the field have studied her carefully but they don't have any solutions.
While Alicia is alert and loves to hear from friends, she cannot operated any equipment. Please take a minute and send her a card or a note. I'm sure that would light up her day.

Jim Cohen contributed another old photo with some people you may recognize because they eventually went to THS. This photo of the 3rd grade class was taken at Sam Hughes Elementary school. That would have been the school year of 1950 - 1951 (I think). Also thanks to Linda South Lenoir for helping to identify some of the people in this photo.

Do you remember Invictus? Fifty years ago your English teacher told you to memorize Invictus by William Ernest Henley? Well? Do you still remember how it goes? If not, here it is again so you can refresh your memory.
OUT of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

I received an e-mail today from Angie Lopez informing us that Raul Lopez died on July 19, 2007 of leukemia. She said: "He had a wonderful sense of humor even to the end. Five days before he died we had a party for him. He jokingly called it his going away party. He lived a very spirit-filled life, and thus he died the same way."

My mother kept all of my report cards, even the few that had good grades. Do you remember what they looked like?
I only needed 3 classes to graduate so that is all I took. I was only there in the mornings that final year. One of the classes I took was Advanced Sales (Distributive Education). We studied salesmanship in class and then worked at a local store in the afternoons. I worked at JC Penney in the men's department during the first semester and Dave Bloom and Sons during the second.
I Photoshopped the grades out of the image so nobody would know how bad a student I was in those days.
I think the number 393 on the left side is the number of times I was sent to the dean's office during the semester and 06 refers to the number of times that I was really at fault for the disturbance. LOL!
We lived near the university until UofA bought our whole block and we had to move. We moved East of Rincon and I could have transferred to Rincon but both my sister and I decided to continue at THS where we started.

John Haygood attended Tucson High for 3 1/2 years as a part of our class. He moved to Hawaii for his final semester of high school and graduated there. Some of you may remember him. He may attend the 50th reunion next year.

In 1987 a move was made in Tucson titled "Can't Buy Me Love." It starred a very young Patrick Dempsey. The movie was filmed in Tucson High School and on the school's campus. The story is about a nerd who pays the head cheerleader $1,000 to pretend to be his friend for a month so that others will consider him to be cool and acceptable as one of the popular students.
The cheerleaders' dance routines were choreographed by Paula Abdul. If you have never seen it, now is your chance thanks to YouTube.
