Enjoy sharing photos and news of your current life, reconnecting with old classmates, and learning about upcoming reunion activities!

The Cyberannual (1969 Online) :  The heart of this website. This site links to all our pictures from the 1969 Messick Annual, each combined when available with current news and/or pictures of that classmate. (Please contribute & keep us up to date! Instructions for contributing are in this section.) The entire 1969 and 1968 year books and the "Messick Handbook" are available for download here (in Adobe Acrobat format). A memorial video to our departed classmates is also included in this section.

What's New:  Any new features on the site, current news of interest, and a list of current updates to the cyberannual.

Get In Touch:  How to reconnect with your classmates, let us know how you're doing, and get on the Messick '69 email list (1 regular email a month only!). Provides the opportunity for you to submit your update (including a current picture) via a web submission form.

Reunions: Pictures & stories from class reunions, with news of any reunions planned in the future. An album of photos from the 40th reunion was posted October 28, 2009. An album of photos of the 10th reunion in 1979 was posted on November 18, 2009.  Photos from the 20th reunion (stills captured from a video) were posted on June 19, 2010.

Discussion: An online bulletin board to post memories & news & respond to postings of classmates. Registration required. (You can check out & read the bulletin board without registering but must register to post messages.)
