"When we're connected to others, we become better people." -- Randy Pausch, The Last Lecture
This is the official site of the Fairborn High School Class of 1971. It belongs to the Classmates and Friends of the Class of 71.
One on One
Classmates, I look over profiles and many of you have listed your best friends in high school. We are at the place where we have found everyone that we are going to find, and we are very “googleable” if anyone wants to find us. If you have someone you would like to contact, and they are on not on the missing list, I will try to help you. Please message me (Denise). If I think it’s someone who wants their privacy protected; we will honor that. We are not here to pester people, but too often it’s been that ONE touch from a former friend that breaks it wide open! At this stage of the game, it IS “one on one.” Let’s attempt to get more people involved!
To protect our classmates and guests, you must set up a profile, which can be as easy as A B C. To gain access to all the features of this website, you register and create your own personal password. It's easy, free and secure. Find your name under Flyer Profiles at the top of the page, click on your name and follow the prompts!
Guests from other years, please use the Contact Us form to request access. Include your name (ladies, add your maiden name) and your class year.
You may also get more information about other functions of the site on the link "How to Use This Site".

From Maggie Clouse Bilby
"We need to hear back....", that is what the postcard stated about information needed for FAIRBORN CITY SCHOOLS, signed by Director, Fairborn Education, Foundation & Alumni Assn.
So, I did what any of you would have, I called. Well, Mr. "Daniel Mitchell" (he gave his name at the start began very cordial confirming who I was & stating what info he had--which I figured the school would have).
Then when he commented about how OTHERS would really like this info (email, retired teacher to help OTHER new ones), I began to question WHY? I refused to give him my email because I told him we had a VERY good website, JUST for us. He then asked for other info. Again, I refused. He then launched into this speech about how others that I did not graduate with would want to contact me, would want to ask me questions about teaching, etc.
Finally, I said, "Wait a minute. Are YOU just trying to sell me a book and need the info for that?" He began trying again but this time, I said - "NO, my info is complete on our website & I am not interested in giving YOU info for your book; I don't want the book," & hung up on him.
If you have gotten this postcard, just know what it means.They are trying to compile a book, and they want to sell it. As always, you have the right to buy that if you wish.

You too can post an announcement!
If you or your "group" are participating in something that you would like other classmates to attend or just be aware of, go to "Member Functions" and "Post Announcement" and compose your announcement. Pictures or images can be added with the image icon to the immediate right of the word "source"
The announcements must be approved by admins. This is mainly to proof the text and resize an image if necessary.
You have seen examples of announcements. This is not the place for personal opinion. The "Classmates Chatter" forum is where we can discuss something.
