I graduated 1960 from Humes High School.
Every picture brought wonderful memories.
I was surprised the Sears and Roebuck Building at Crosstown was not included.  Beautiful architech.  Sears (3rd flr) was my 1st job after graduation.

Graduated 1977.  My sister, Ann Torcigliani Tedford graduated from OHS in 1970. Thanks so much for putting this together.  It brought back so many memories.  My diploma says Memphis State University on it, so it will always be MSU.   I had to go to Briarcrest because I was bussed from Overton.  Why did they have to split us all up?

Thanks for the trip down memory lane.  I so enjoy googling Memphis history.  I lived directly behind the big shoe at Lamar and Semmes until I was 16 and moved to south.  I also watched Fantastic Features with Savid.  He would scare the crap out of me.  Graduated from Overton in 1980.  Would love to hear from former classmates.  I am on Facebook and Classmates.

a good time.

(Class of 63)  Give that Bob (Messick59@aol.com) a great big hand!   Never met him but he is such a wonderful person to keep everyone smiling and never lets us forget about the "good ole times".   Thanks also to Sonja Ungren and all she has done for creation and upkeep of this website which we will definitely keep up with.  Was invited years ago to our reunion but thought I "looked too old" and wouldn't go.   Wow - What a surprise to know I don't think I look any older (much) than all you other geezers.  Retired from USPS in 1997; living on our farm in Taylor, MS; am fishing, hunting, gardening, and keeping my ole man fed "Carl Huber" from Messick - Class of 59.  For those of you that might know Carl - he's now a "Farmer, Iron Worker, Welder, Junk Dealer (ha), Hunter, and Jack of All Trades.  How he knows everything, I just can't explain it but we threw the dictionary away a long time ago!  HA.   Just about to have our 32nd anniversary in April.   Would love to hear from some of our old friends (Overton & Messick).  Please reach out and send us an email.

I was a typing teacher at Overton High School during 1965, 1966, and 1967. I recently retired after 35 years teaching in Memphis City Schools and I can truly say that my time at Overton was one of my most pleasant teaching experiences. 

Coach Miller lived directly across the street from my family and me and was a very good friend and neighbor.  I was fortunate to have a long phone conversation with him in January, 2010 when he called with condolences at the death of my husband.

I am happy to have been able to share this web site.

Great site! Love the old photos of Memphis. I graduated in '63, but was dating Donna Murphrey of the class of '65.  What a sweetheart she was. I wonder what ever happened to her? So many of my old friends are not listed. I am now living in Hawaii. I am a chef, writer, and culinary explorer. Times have changed!

Hi, guys.  It seems I've been out of touch with everybody back there.  I love your website, just sorry it took so long to find it.
Moved from Memphis in '86 to Colorado and then to here in Las Vegas in '96.
Anyone headed out this way to have fun, give us a shout, my wife Lou and I, and you'll have a free room and board for your stay.

Hey Gang!
I feel that, since I went to school with half of you from first grade through all of Colonial Jr High, I am, kinda-sorta at least, worth a honorable member of this great class of '65.   I always wondered what happened to Otis Glasscock, "Beatnick" Ray, Joe Gordy, Janice Dunn, Wendy Braun, Sharon Sparks - - well, you get the picture - the old gang.
Still remember the tough but loving Ms. Gates as one of the more memorable teachers from Colonial JH.
My wife, De, and I are moving back to TN (east) soon as I finally retired from Xerox after 39 years, four days, 2 hours and 45 minutes. . . but who's counting?

I really like the website, very professional! I have lived in New Jersey for 10 years. I remarried a great gal and between us we have 6 kids. The most recent is a very loving 5 year old boy named Johnny. Can you believe it, at 62 I am now a New DAD!! Keeps ya young right?? I am a union carpenter and have been with the same company for 9 years. The economy is affecting all of us, work is getting slow and doesn't look good for the future. My wife is a workmen's comp field nurse case manager for a great company up here. We are planning to retire back to the south in 4-5 years, tired of snow and high prices and taxes and traffic jams!!

What a creative and entertaining website.!

I'm going to see "The Jersey Boys" at National Theater in Washington DC on Nov. 12th.  I'll be remembering the Class if 1965 and all the good times both then and at the 2005 reunion.

Have any of you seen it yet?  Remember "Big Girls Don't Cry" and "Walk Like A Man?".

Hello everyone...
Well, we had a GREAT time at the 40th reunion...! The greatest!

Sonja was the BEST at everything she did in chairing it! 
I'm so disappointed that we don't have enough people to help with the 45th...
:-(
I'll help again... but then I'm only one person...
If we can at least keep the website going...that will help...... and perhaps another year will come about when we ARE able to get a committee together - there is SO much work...
Sonja has family issues now and just really needs help to pull this all off whenever it happens.
After being invited as a former teacher at some of these 'reunions' you REALLY do appreciate what a REAL one IS and Sonja has done the best job ever in organizing the 40th reunion!!!!

If you can donate ANYTHING in the way of funds to keep this site afloat...even $5 would help us! Or ten, or whatever!!
(Give her a bit of help, please??)

I'll miss seeing all of you!
Love,
Marcia Goodson

Hello everyone...how exciting about the upcoming reunion 2010....do we have any month in mind so  can pencil it in?   We travel alot and want to make sure I haven't booked any cruises for the 2010 reunion.  I live in Sorrento, FL.  been here most of my life.  I retired 3 years ago from Elementary education and now just substitute teach.  Works out good for me, because I can travel and go to all the University of Florida Football games when I want and don't have to get permission from the bosses anymore. Life is good.  Keep in touch as I will too. Take care,
Jean
