Besides the photographs, there's a treasure trove of facts and trivia about our final year in high school. Each time I thumb through it I seem to find something new.

Despite the work involved, I believe this yearbook belongs on the world wide web. People from anywhere in the world can travel back to small Texas school and see it - through our eyes.

I'm ahead of schedule for adding pages to the web. My original goal was to add ten per week.

Eventually I'll get to the most poignant part of our yearbook. It's those pages at the back where many of my classmates jotted down a short note shortly before graduation.

It's those words that mean the most to me. They stand out over the years that separate us.

As I reread them from time to time, it always hits me that, although I can read my classmate's words to me, I have no idea what I wrote in their yearbooks.

Perhaps they'll remind me some day.

Over the next several months, I hope to present the entire 1971 high school yearbook from cover to cover.

A couple of warnings however:

• In order to make each page readable, I've scanned the pages at their actual size. This may mean a longer than usual page load up time for your modem
• Because of the size, you may have to scroll back and forth to see the full width of a page

Of Course, if you have your screen set to display 800X600 resolution, you should have no problem at all.
