IT progress report - April 25, 2013


"87 contacted" includes 74 classmates on the WHS facebook page and does not include 41 guests on that page.

"114 unlisted" are names that are in the WHS yearbooks but not in the Reunion Committee spreadsheet ( the yearbooks mention 658 names, the spreadsheet has 452 names ).

NEXT:  see what's new at the April 25 committee meeting!

  


WHS'73 YEARBOOKS: went online March 24.  Facebook made a jealous nuisance of linking to this, but 71 people saw it anyway and at least 15 said they liked it.

NEXT: add the original yearbook pages, new and better namelists, facebook links, new and better portrait scans.


WEEBLY WEBSITE:  unchanged since March 3, THREE non-facebook people registered
PROBLEM: has zero search-engine visibility.
NEXT: update "planning in progress", possible GOLF registration, possible payment option, get links from other pages such as District 50, Classmates.com, RanumWesty72.com



CLASS DIRECTORY:  the WHS facebook page seems ideal for this.  If not, then facebook is the ideal way to collect material for that, with hard copies available upon request.  The WHS Class of 1974 did a brilliant directory in 2004, absolutely fabulous; to see for yourself, befriend a junior classmate.

WHS yearbook pictures

This website combines four years of portraits from the class of 1973:

Planned website improvements include: display book pages, clubs, teachers and other years.

True irony: facebook is just a glorified yearbook, and pasting the above yearbook link makes facebook jealous!  It treats this URL as toxic !  But the facebook company is only trying to help by being especially cautious.

Alert:  the pictures might not come out correctly on a mobile device such as an iPhone or iPad ( its probably because of special compression by the phone company).
