So what's so weird about three potential
gatherings of alumni in a year that is suppose to have two? Well,
for starters there's the class of '67 - who's quietly gotten themselves
invited over to the Riley shindig...while on the other end of the spectrum
there's a group who could certainly use some pointers on how anyone from
JHS could deliberately seek out those very same fictitious wildcats.
I thought perhaps one class might be able to share learn
something...that's all.
It is interesting to watch, sad as it is... but the point might be lost on the first class alumni
since many may not know about the class of
75¾ unfortunate and "non-voluntary" senior
year at Riley...Why brings this up?
Let's just say the enthusiasm generated by
our friends could use some help from those who appear to have a handle on
things.
Things may get a bit busy this summer...it looks like a trifecta for 67,72
and coming around a lap behind our pals from 75¾.
Let me add that the web pages are here for you
to use...just send me an email
and I'll try to give you any help I can...

Logical Problems Exercise 9
If the
train leaves the station carrying only JHS alumni from classes that
share potential reunion years, what class is left behind?
In
addition, no class shares a potential reunion year with any more than
one other class, (70 & 75 for instance) Taking that into account,
your assignment is to present a logical and
reasonable explanation as to why the Summer of 2002 has 3 classes
claiming alumni status who plan to hold reunions.

Class of
75¾
The label they use is apathetic ...at
best you may call them the biggest group of procrastinators this side
of the Mississippi
The reunion committee is ready for a
25th reunion. (At this rate they'll locate our website around
2007)It's a great plan if you're trying to hide from the Riley guys
because who would ever think to look for their 25th reunion twenty
six years later? Nonetheless, anything we can do to assist
you...just let us know.

Networking JHS style
Are you on the reunion committee? Ever wonder how much to charge?
How many folks might show up? What events might be interesting and
fun? Ever wish you knew the mistakes to avoid or thought it would be
nice to know what the other classes have done and share information?
We got it...and we're getting it. Slowly but surely we're building a
database so you won't have to sort through all those lists and cross
off names.
Networking is what this is all about...and the classes having
reunions this year, I would like to ask for your help so we'll be
current. We'll also have available for each class a list
of those classmates that can't be found . We've had good
results from posting the list for the Class of '75 and have also had
some names taken off the Class of 71's missing list as well. Email me
the list for your class and see what help we can give each other.

Strange but True
In Charlotte, North Carolina, a man having purchased a case of very
rare, very expensive cigars insured them against fire among other
things. Within a month, having smoked his entire stockpile of cigars and
without having made even his first premium payment on the policy, the man
filed a claim against the insurance company.
In his claim, the man stated the cigars were lost "in a series of small
fires". The insurance company refused to pay, citing the obvious reason
that the man had consumed the cigars in the normal fashion.
The man sued....and won. In delivering the ruling, the judge agreeing
that the claim was frivolous, stated nevertheless that the man held a
policy from the company in which it had warranted that the cigars were
insurable and also guaranteed that it would insure against fire, without
defining what it considered to be "unacceptable fire", and was obligated
to pay the claim.
Rather than endure a lengthy and costly appeal process the insurance
company accepted the ruling and paid the man $15,000 for the rare cigars
he lost in "the fires."
AND NOW, THE REST OF THE STORY...
After the man cashed the check, however, the company had him arrested on
24 counts of arson. With his own insurance claim and testimony from the
previous case being used against him, the man was convicted of
intentionally burning his insured property and sentenced to 24 months in
jail and a $24,000 fine.

what the heck am I reading here? Thought they closed that place, got rid
of those kids who liked to hang out with each other...Imagine that!
