Tucson High Class of 1981 – See how different THS is now!

Susan Ham here – look at what I found on You Tube. Oh my, seems a lot more “academic”

than our time there? Remember “Special Projects” and AP classes? Anyhow, if you look closely I think the theater is still in the lower level of the Main Building, and the Chemistry Lab seems to look the same?

Tucson High Bookstore

Tucson High Class of 1981 – What’s your favorite item from “the bookstore”?

Susan Ham here with another blog update. Remember buying pencils, textbooks

and notebooks from the THS Bookstore? Oh yes, and Pee Chee folders!!!

I just found out there’s a Facebook page and Wikipedia entry for those golden paper organizers that I doodled all over.

And from my personal Tucson High Class of ’81 Vault...

Less than 2 months to go




Tucson High Class of 1981 – What do you remember from Senior Year?

Susan Ham here – can you believe it’s less than two months until our 30th reunion?

Yikes…some of us may not have seen each other for 30 years?! Will we recognize each other? I’m still short and I think I’m shrinking too?

Feels like I’m reliving high school now in fashion…the '70s and '80s are back with high-waisted flare pants, maxi dresses, wedge sandals and loud colors. Love, love, love!

And from the Tucson High Class of ’81 Vault (that would be my dusty box found in the garage) – the March 13, 1981 Cactus Chronicle front page! Remember the Vocational Building?

Tucson High Class of 1981 – RSVPs so far…


Tucson High Class of 1981 – Who’s coming?

Susan Ham here…as I respect everyone’s privacy I can only report we have 24 confirmed/paid. We’re coming up on the needing to plunk down the rest of the deposit to pull off this reunion as originally planned, and quite frankly…that’s not enough to meet our goal of 50 paid attendees. EEK!

I realize times are tough (really I do).

If you plan on attending we not only need an RSVP at this time, BUT a payment as well.

Laurie has our reunion funds in a trust account.

$80 per person for entired weekend until May 9th

$15 for Happy Hour only

Send payments to:

If you can’t make the two events, then it’d be nice for you and other Tucson High alumni classes to try making the Happy Hour at Maloney’s on June 10th.

And, if you find someone, let me know at

Searching for Tucson High Class of '81 Grads


Tucson High Class of 1981 – Where oh where are you?

Susan Ham again to ask where the heck is our dinky class? Yes, I think it was small.

I counted 272 in the senior yearbook (my math could be off due to needing new glasses, boy the print is teenie tiny, LIKE 8-point size).

Remember the English teacher Mrs. Carter? She hated us using the the word “like” and I rarely do, by the way (because of Mrs. Carter).

I realize we had Special Projects students, Air Force kids, children of U of A professors and dropouts, but I’d thought we’d find more given the internet. Hmm…we have very few on Facebook

And, if you find someone, let me know...my contact is below.
Sorry not clickable link, couldn't get the java encryption script to work.
