ROSTER

 

Class Roster

Who should be included, those who walked across a stage n picked up a diploma ..hmmm


If it is about your connection to people you went to high school, some might have dropped out, some pregnant, some moved away, some may have died.


My imaginary roster would include all who would have graduated your year if no curves changed their path.


Don't know if it still is so, but when I went to high school I was in classes with the class before ours and after.

I had pals like that and am guessing many others did n even married some.


Each year would have their roster but they would reach out to some in the class before them and after them to create their roster.


The various classes adding their data to the alumni group (all years)


Where to publish can be lots of places facebook …

I have been on the internet since the 80's and have seen major social media host vanish. When I began there was a box making a squeaky noise to log on. You did not type back n forth directly but write or reply to others, it was put in a packet and sent to other bbs boards.


Yahoo, myspace, onelist, wildcat .. gave up.

Now facebook is a major provider BUT those accounts are hacked and lots of them are shut down by facebook.


Facebook being on top of the list along with Google, which has so many other tools that people know how to use.


Having information on a google spread sheet, it can be modified and links can be changed.

Kind of like a community newspaper.
I never read the obituaries .. more of the funny papers I guess.

I never knew the LHS Alumni existed until I was looking for a girl I loved in high school .. and found she was gone some years before.




One of the guys who was my pal (Year b4 me) The last time I saw him he lived over by Dayton and I was at his house the day Nixon resigned.. took a pic of him with my film camera.

Every once in a while I looked again.. didn't know until I saw his sister's account .. gone. My old Pal John moved back here some years ago and was gone.

In my imaginary classmate roster, there could be articles of what people were doing now. They might be in some business n if I were gonna have that service done or buy a gadget they were selling..

In the theme of ancestry dot com. The data base would be created in this time and passed on to those who followed.
(The idea of creating a no profit organization for those in school now and attended in the past.)
The records, stories of the now, being the collective database of the set.


Lots of people might not be interested but in the future grand kids might want to look to see what they were into when they were in school.

Other than prayers n comments that come n vanish in a couple days, some fun stories n pics


***
In the theme of a sorority or frat
When students go on to a university there could be a support group to help em out.

Knowing one who belonged to one years ago, still network with them for jobs or things of great importance like getting football tickets at their big college games.


In school our circle is tight. As the years go on there is a great age range we connect to...

Instead of some years after high school, starting a social group of classmates I think the best time is when they first start.

Some will go lots of places through out their lives n some not so much.. especially indoor places n fancy duds. 
In a few years there might not be pals in your class that are going to a reunion but if there were an annual 'gales picnic' at rising park... there might be many who would come out n walk around to see who they might run into.

Check out the average attendance at the LHS football home games . In your group declare this night of the season will be the annual Gales alumni   game. It would be my guess there would be a large number of fans on the benches. 

Here I share fun thoughts that are possible. Use your own imaginations, argue why what ever won't work and find solutions how you could make it happen.


You can be made admins and owners of the facebook group started for this idea and the domain is to be transferred to a class group who will run with the ball.
