THOSE WERE THE DAYS
We are looking for photos of our days at JMHS to rekindle memories of days gone by. Picures can be of field trips, sports, prom, dances in the gym, groups of friends, days spent at different venues (Orchard Beach, Jahn's, Bronx Zoo), etc.
Please send them in and we will put them on the website under "Those Were the Days" on the menu. I'm sure we all have pictures others would like to see so, send them on in.
Those who attended our 40th reunion remember the wonderful job Jay Becker did with our Memory Book. Jay has offered to do this again but needs your help.
