BARNSTABLE HS 1978 NEWSLETTER FOR AUGUST 2004

HERE ARE SOME UPDATES FOR AUGUST AND SOME COMMENTS/SUGGESTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN SENT IN: 1. A NEW SECTION HAS BEEN ADDED TO THE WEBSITE FOR EMAIL ADDRESSES OF BHS GRADS FROM CLASSES OTHER THAN 1978. SEE LINK ON MAIN PAGE OR CLICK HERE TO CHECK OUT

2. A GOOD SUGGESTION WAS TO HAVE A "WHERE ARE THEY NOW" SECTION OF EACH NEWSLETTER WHERE WE FIND OUT A LITTLE ABOUT A FORMER GRAD. IF YOU WANT TO SEND IN A FEW WORDS ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE DOING NOW AND WHERE YOU LIVE WE CAN DO THAT. SEND TO barnstable1978@hotmail.com 3. SPECIAL THANKS TO SEAN MULLEN FROM THE CLASS OF 1979 WHO POINTED OUT THAT THE LINK TO THE PIC OF THE 1978 FOOTBALL TEAM WAS INCORRECT. SINCE WE GRADUATED IN 1978 THE PIC SHOULD HAVE BEEN OF THE TEAM FROM THE FALL OF 1977 NOT 78. CORRECTION HAS BEEN MADE. 4. A FEW NEW EMAIL ADDRESSES HAVE BEEN ADDED TO THE CLASS LIST THIS MONTH. 5. BATHERS WERE SEEN WRAPPING THEMSELVES IN TOWELS TO WARD OFF THE COLD AT CRAIGVILLE BEACH ON THE FIRST SATURDAY OF AUGUST. SOMEBODY TURN THE GLOBAL WARMING BACK ON!! BUSINESS OFF 20% AT 4 SEAS ICE CREAM. 6. CAPE CODDERS SHOULD LEARN FROM THE MISTAKES MADE IN FLORIDA HURRICANE. PEOPLE DID NOT STOCK UP ON WATER OR HEED EVACUATION WARNINGS AND ENDED UP PAYING THE PIPER. IN THE CASE OF THE FORMER OWNER OF THE HYANNIS DUCK INN PUB IT WAS FATAL. HURRICANE SEASON IS HERE UNTIL OCTOBER SO WATCH OUT. 7. SEPTEMBER STILL HAS THE FEEL OF THE WORST MONTH OF THE YEAR AS IT MEANS "BACK TO SCHOOL". HOW MANY OF US WERE FORCED AT GUNPOINT TO GO TO PURITAN CLOTHING TO SHOP FOR THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR? NOW KIDS BACK TO SCHOOL SHOPPING INCLUDES A TRIP TO THE PIERCING AND TATTOO PARLOR AND A STOP AT A LOCAL HEAD SHOP. OH AND THEY NEED A CELL PHONE TOO. IN OUR DAY A PACK OF MARLBORO REDS WAS PUSHING THE ENVELOPE..HA! 8.AUGUST TRIVIA: NAME THIS LANDMARK PICTURED BELOW.(PAGE DOWN)
