Welcome to the Class of '81, the ORIGINAL alumni page for any class! Thanks to the efforts of Keith Eich, Poland alumni can revisit nostalgia whenever they want. He was the first person to create a site for Poland Schools, doing so while still a student at PSHS. Now that Keith is long gone from PSHS studentdom, a new website has emerged, but Keith still plans to make a new site for alumni. Unfortunately, he has started a new job and hasn't had time to redo the site as he had intended, but he will eventually have an alumni site for Poland at this link. Please check periodically to see if it is up and running yet.
It was upon Keith's suggestion that I decided to create this home page for our class. After corresponding with several classmates, who also thought it was a good idea, I decided to learn some basic HTML and add our page to the Internet's PSHS sites. (We are, after all, the most important page in PSHS history, are we not?!) Well, that was quite a few years ago, and we're still here! We get periodic comments on the site. People seem to like it, and a lot of people wish their classes would do one, too. So we must be doing something right. Thanks to Keith for providing the bulldog graphics that appear throughout the site.
My initial hope in making the site was to keep our class in touch with each other, to be updated on births, marriages, changes of address, and other important changes in our classmates' lives. I am glad to say that it has served that purpose, and I am getting ready to add a page for our classmates' emails and other contact information (only classmates who have sent me approval for doing so). We are now hoping to get started on the planning of our 25-year reunion, and I am looking forward to seeing how much easier it is to keep everyone informed and organized with updates on the site.
We also have a listserv at Yahoo! Groups. If you were ever part of the PSHS Class of '81 and want to join the listserv:

The PSHS marching band takes the field. The trumpets start their climb to the "ta-da!" of the 2001 theme song, and the majorettes kick out, straight legged, their batons entwined with their stiff arms, finally stopping with a pointed toe and left arm pointing high in the air. As the music continues its crescendo, the head majorette kicks out past them all with a brilliant smile on her face, stops at the end of the field to throw her baton to the sky, the trumpets hitting their final exclamatory note, and the baton making an awe-inspiring spiral into the waiting palm of the jubillant majorette!
How many of us watched that every week, every autumn, every year for countless years, and wondered, "Where will I be in 2001?" I know the thought never crossed my mind! I was too busy wondering if I should practice my baton or whether the Bulldogs were going to win... again.
2001 did NOT find all of us in Poland for, oh, my gosh, could it really be, our 20-year class reunion!! We just didn't get enough support soon enough to pull it together.
But we're aiming for our 25th in 2006. Please respond soon and give your support!!
