If you’re wondering where all this information comes from, there’s a whole “invisible” side of web browsing. When you click on a link, your web browser not only asks the hosting computer for the web page, but also tells it what computer and web browser you are using; this information is often used to adjust the content of the web page to make it display best on your machine. Also, when you click on a link from a search engine, that search engine tells the web site computer which term you used to find them.

We need more Yellojacket images from history

admin — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 16:53:12 +0000

I’d like to add Yellowjacket images to the top banner. If you have old yearbooks or other publications with BHS Yellowjackets on them, please scan them and email a copy to me (let me know the year of the publication as well). I’ll start posting them soon.

“Social networking” bulletin board now set up

We now have a social networking bulletin board set up to help folks find each other.

Anyone can browse/view the bulletin board posts, but in order to post you will need to register (free, but you need an email address).

Have a current photo of you to post to the Gallery?

admin — Thu, 04 Oct 2007 05:42:56 +0000

If you have a photo of yourself you would like to have posted to your classes corner of the photo gallery, email it to me (lee AT trampleasure DOT net), including your name, class, and caption for the photo (including date).

Please send me photos you won’t mind having up there for a few years. If your class gets more active in the gallery, the coordinator(s) of your class can remove/update photos, but until then I’d really rather not get swamped with requests to change photos.
