And when those River high boys fall in line (and girls, too)
We're gonna win this game another time!
And for our football team we're gonna yell -
We're gonna yell and yell and yell and yell-
We're gonna fight, fight, fight for every yard,
We're gonna circle end and hit 'em hard!
Congratulations, River '63! Over 5,000 hits - and counting -on this little Web site. Only one hit PER DAY per person is tallied, so we are getting a lot of traffic, a lot of email, and more participation than you know. It started in July 2009, so we're averaging almost 800 hits a month.
THANKS TO ALL OF US WHO ARE OUT HERE, AND WELCOME TO EVERYONE ELSE.
PLEASE ENCOURAGE ANYONE YOU KNOW WHO ISN'T HERE TO JOIN US.
The Pirate says "Take a look at the announcements page and see Ellen Aspinwall's news about a mini-reunion in Arizona in March.... Wouldn't that be a nice break in the weather for our snowbound alumni?"
Take a look at the new photo of St. Christopher School, 4th Grade, submitted by our own John Dawson! Several of our classmates are there...
Turn your speakers on and take some time to look back at our history!
LIVE CHAT IS NOW IN PLACE, and improvements are on the way.
For now, the best way classmates can use it is to set up an "appointment" to have a chat - any two or more alumni - until Instant Messaging is working.
Try it with one or more of your friends!
Please take a look at the free-for-all known as "Message Forum" and use this opportunity to speak your mind about ANYTHING.
(We need some new ideas.... You'll see.)

The free-form "Message Forum" is is a free-for-all. Rather than a threaded, topical organization it is just a continuous bulletin board and open-ended chat. Feel free to add your own topics, thoughts, opinions and ideas. Try it out, and let's talk to one another!

Aren't you a member of the Rocky River High School Class of 1963?
Why haven' t you registered yet?
Well - when nothing new happens out here - no new registrations and new photos, it may get a little boring. Those of us who always attended reunions and stayed in touch with classmates who were friends are here. Now comes the hard part -
We really do need to find those who are lost and learn of those who are deceased. If you want to help, search for a lost classmate on the Internet. If you want to add interest, send new photographs, and add to the personal history on your profile. If you stop visiting the site so frequently, we can appreciate why - but whatever happens, be sure to keep us informed of your email and mailing address.
Even though the 50-Year Reunion is a long way off - have you noticed how fast the years are going by?
MARCH 2010 birthday greetings!
