I added links to our new CHS 1961 website, since Yahoo and Google seem unaware of it, despite the fact that I submitted the URL to both search engines, and included plenty of good and valid keywords. We do not have e-mail addresses for all 600+ classmates, so relying on the US Mail (expensive), handouts at reunions (we did that), e-mailed notices (we did that), and search engines, are the primary ways we have to communicate the existence of the website.

The reason for listing 2 links is that some people are unable to reach the shorter alias name (www.spchs61.org), for some unknown reason. The REAL name is accessible, but may be changed in the future.

So many people are out of the loop - despite years of sending out reunion invitations, it's pathetic. This should help. We also have some grade school pictures posted, since grade schools often generate more interest and allegiance than high schools.

Thanks!

I go here, so ill take a picture soon and add it to the article.

[edit] Enrollment figures

The 2201 enrollment was for the 2005-2006 schoolyear. Enrollment for 2006-2007 schoolyear not released, but we know it is less than 2150 (Harding's enrollment). --ScienceApologist 10:47, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Snugging-up the Paragraphs

After adding more text and the first pictures (formatting polished by Uber), I added some white space to better align the text with the pictures. But now I think the article would look better if the extra white space were eliminated. Unfortunately, I don't know how to do that. If someone could that, I think it would improve the appearance of the article.

Yes, it's true—having (many images) with little text can make the article appear unflattering and even disorganized in some instances. To improve the appearance of how paragraphs are aligned with the photos and other paragraphs, more text is needed. ~ UBeR 18:54, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Minutemaids

As an alumnus of Central, I remember that boys from Central were the Minutemen, but the girls were known as Minutemaids. Does anyone have information about this? I'm not talking about the mascot, but rather the students. Larsroe 19:11, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

I hope this [1] clears it up. It is about 3/4 of the way down the page. 67.40.171.203 21:50, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
