Annual reunion lunch on April 4, 2009
43 classmates and spouses met for lunch at Zona in Tucson on April 4. Thanks to everyone for keeping these reunions going by attending. We enjoyed good food, chatting and meeting up with a few classmates we have not seen at other events. Our plan is to make this lunch an annual affair so classmates who might be traveling to Arizona can have the option of attending. Please keep checking this webpage for reunion information.

Over but not forgotten - Amphi 50th Year Reunion at El Conquistador Hotel and Resort
Thanks to everyone who came to our Amphi 50th Reunion . It was the huge turnout that made this three day gathering exceptional along with classmate contributions including those of the committee. Folks who took to the microphone, and others who passed out prizes, hosted the various events and held down greeting tables made this reunion shine. Special thanks to Sam Sutton for working on discount room fees for out of town classmates and thanks to Manny Nagore and Bill Mortimer for setting up the Amphi Reunion bank account and Patzi Hughes who makes it balance.
Memorable moments:
Turnout at the Meet and Greet was more than we could have hoped. 125 classmates came including spouses and graduates from other years. A visit from Roger Taylor, who most of us have not seen in 50 years, was one surprise and then just as we thought all classmates were in the room, Gil Munoz appeared.
Forty classmates went on the school tour and visit to the Dairy Queen. Looking at those photos makes me and Bill regret very much not being there. His back was giving him fits from an old bull injury that happened during his clown days; “She kicked me,” he said like there was nothing to it and my Achilles tendons have gone south from wearing high heels most of my adult life and a sports injury from bicycling LA and running in Phoenix, so we were toast by then and needed to regroup for the remaining events!
Dinner turnout came to 75 classmates which added up to 105 party goers including spouses. The food was excellent and the weather perfect. Things got off to a great start with Bill announcing from the podium and Barbara Barrett-Hyde giving our welcome prayer. Gene Mahler Merchant followed with a moving tribute to the deceased classmates, including a banner with their photos which she designed and brought to each event. Our reunion banner hung over the podium. It was designed by Robert Townsend who also did our logo, drawing can and Pete’s award. Jim Walters framed the banner in various ways so it could welcome classmates at each event. He also had the committee table-top thank you printed and put at each place setting. Rick Wilson gave a rousing welcome speech and Ken promised more Panther Pause Newsletters. Ike was entertaining along with Fred Montgomery, Paul Crawford, Judy Tiemann-Larson and Judy Carol Fuller-Terlizzi. Eugene Settle was perfect along with his daughter in handling the door prizes with help from the effervescent Joyce Van Reenen-Irving and Ruth Warskow-Schaller. Thanks to Sam Sutton and Bob Polston for getting out the green door prize tickets! Props to Laura Walters for prizes from the Amphi bookstore and Jewell Pearson-Fuller, Connie Witt and Dale Sage-Wright for decorations. It was a sea of green pom-poms, clever M&Ms in elegant snifters and lots of work which we all appreciate. We thank Bob Smith and Eugene Sherman for taking care of the t-shirt orders and Manny Nagore for making sure orders of visors and polos got to the right people. We loved the award given by Dan Peck to Pete Cress and again none of this reunion stuff could happen without a classmate name and address resource like our webpage that has been years in the making. (Friendly reminder) If you have not posted a bio please do and add family photos. The Memory Book was pulled from the webpage with a compilation of additional photos added. Thanks to Jim Walters for getting it printed and out to the classmates with mailings by Manny.
Lunch turnout totaled 95. The food was not so good but certainly the dessert and atmosphere was. Thanks to Nancy and Ron Rhul for holding down the greeting table, Ken for hosting, Ben and Connie Witt and Ed Goodman for passing out the door prizes after Don Shelton had made certain everyone had green tickets!
A great way to end was by attending the Amphi Homecoming Game and thanks to Patzi Hughes for spearheading this event. It was very special being there again, our welcome banner on the 50 yard line and us females wearing those spectacular mums that Barrett-Hyde made for this occasion. We all wished that we had brought at least one of the pom-poms and thanks to Jim, I did get my photo taken with the panther mascot!

Thank You For Your Support Of This Class Website
Thank you for supporting this class web site over the last couple of years. We hope that this web site has given you some enjoyable remembrances of our high school years and renewed friendships with our classmates.
Because we have donations to support the web site through the end of our 50th year since graduation (50 years since graduation, ouch!), we no longer need to make contributions for the web site support. One of those few cases where it pays to be a senior. In this case, the firm that provides the web site structure, waves the payment requirements for support of our web site after we pass our 50th year. Yipee! Save your money for the next reunion. Thanks again.
WE HAVE NO INFORMATION FOR THE FOLLOWING CLASSMATES. CAN YOU HELP?

How about some "Golden Oldies" from our High School days?
Do you remember the music during our high school years? Check out this Jukebox for some of those songs.
Select a song and press the play (forward triangle) button for some of those golden oldies (or you can do it the old fashioned way and punch in the song number on the buttons at the top of the Jukebox). If you want the music to continue playing while you look at other things on this site, hold down the shift key when you select a link. This will open up a separate window for your new link and leave this one open and playing the music. When a song ends, come back to this page and select another one.

Where Is Everyone?
Use the map below to see where classmates are located. Click on a house to see who lives there. Use the scale on the left to zoom in and out. In the upper right corner, you can select whether to display as a street map, satellite image or a combintation of the two. You can move the map around by selecting a place on the map (other than a house), left mouse click and hold and move the map around. Well now, look at the Tucson folks. They didn't go very far from the nest, did they.
Addresses have been obtained from Internet directories and rounded to the nearest block number. If you want to see your house more closely, go to the maps.google.com web site and put in your address (ie. 123 Street, Tucson, Az) in the entry location at the top of the page.
If you want to change your address on this class web site (correct it, removed it from the map, etc.), email me at Amphi58@Yahoo.com.
Those Who Have Left Us - We Miss Them

Our Class Message Board
Your participation is requested!
We would like to hear from you. Post your messages here.
After graduation, I went right into the U.S.M.C. I was stationed 29 Palms, CA, Camp Pendelton,CA, Okinowa, Japan, Guam, Camp Le Jeune, N.C., Spain, Cuba & then I was outta there!
After I returned I went to work briefly for Lear Jet. Then I was hired on at TG & E as a typist. I never left there, but was trained in the gas department as a Measurement Technician.
I was married in 1963 and had a son. We divorced in 1971. I then met my present wife, a retired teacher. We've lived in the same home since 1972 and raised my son. I guess you could call us dinosaurs. We both stayed in the same profession & companies for over 30 years.
We have three teenage grandchildren in Tucson.
We also have a mutt who walks us every morning.
I enjoy golfing,landscaping,hunting and dabble at woodworking, welding and lapidary work. Retirement 11 years ago was not traumatic for me; I never lack for some project to keep busy. I also volunteer as a handicap van driver once a month.
