A Class Like No Other....

Well....we hope so!  Strong bonds formed during key years in our lives, many shared experiences, and memories we'll always treasure made the Class of '73 a special group.  Championship football and track teams carved our place in the school's history, but it was the friendships we established that will unite us forever.  We'll periodically highlight a grad--do you know who the student is to the left? Scroll to the bottom of this page and register a guess!

Where Are We Today?

We  are slowly, but surely, amassing quite a library of pictures and documents.  As you'll see inside, these span the generations.  One category that interests everyone, even though none of us has aged one iota, is "Recent Pictures."  We'll periodically post a new addition, such as the one to the left, here--go to the "Photos and Docs" page to see more!

Where Have We Been?

One only knows!!! The paths that we have taken during the past three decades were surely as varied as we are--which is all over the lot!  We'll periodically feature pictures of our post-SJC years....how about sending us some more?

Roslyn Area Through the Years

As with most towns, Roslyn has changed a lot since the '60s and '70s, but the spirit of our home town has not.  We have included a set of pictures from our glory days--check them out!

St. John's Through the Years

Our parish meant a lot to us--most can recall the nooks and crannies of specific classrooms and the church, where we spent many, many hours.  We have included pictures of our parish from the '50s to the present.

Missing Classmates/Teachers

This website and our Reunion have brought many of our classmates, and a few teachers, back into our ambit.  However, our increasingly mobile society has caused us to lose touch with many students who were a big part of our adolescent years.  We will post pictures of some of these missing classmates and teachers at left--if you have contact information for them, please let us know at stjohnofthecross73@yahoo.com  Thanks!
