1969 Messick Panther
Download
Instructions
How NOT to do it:
LEFT
clicking on the download link will bring up the 1969 annual in your
browser (presuming you have the standard Adobe Acrobat browser plugin).
However it will also be very frustrating as the files is very large
(149
and 160 megabytes) and you may find yourself waiting for more than an
hour
before it appears. If you still have a dialup connection, I would
advise
against attempting to download the file at all; and I'll arrange
to have a copy mailed to you on CD instead.
How to do it: RIGHT click on
the download link (or on the graphic of the annual cover) and save the
file to your computer, then open it in Adobe Acrobat Reader. The
download
still take a long time (depending on the speed of your Internet
connection) but you will then have the annual permanently on your own
computer to look at whenever you wish.
In Firefox: RIGHT click on the
download link and choose "Save Link as..."
In Internet Explorer: RIGHT
click on the download link and choose "Save Target as..."
To get Adobe Acrobat Reader:
Almost all computers have a copy of this, but in case yours
doesn't click here to
download it for free. I would suggest you uncheck the box offering the
Free McAfee Security Scan before downloading.
- The entire 1969 and 1968 annuals are included, even the
advertisements (they
are a vivid reminder of the very different city - and world - we grew
up in, and contain a lot of our homeroom group pictures). Document
bookmarks are provided for the major sections.
- The pages are sometimes a little off center as I was not willing
to destroy my own annuals!
- The annual was not copyrighted and is public domain. Feel free to
copy it, print it, or share it or any parts of it.
- While the pages will print pretty decently, they are really meant
for screen viewing; I still have the original high resolution scans if
you want better print copies of some of the pictures.
