BY JOINING US YOU ARE REGISTERING TO USE THIS SITE AND YOU ARE INDICATING THAT YOU AGREE TO ABIDE BY THE RULES LISTED AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE.
This website is maintained by Bruce Eskander ('72) & Mary Gill Smith ('61).
"This is an Official Website of the South Pasadena High School Alumni Association".
It is completely free to all of our alumni. You will never be asked to pay to make a profile or to be able to access other alumni profiles.
Your only requirement to participate is to provide all of your contact information. Please enter your complete home mailing address including zip code and your telephone number. [...even if you are outside of the U.S.] If in the U.S.A. you will receive a FREE annual copy of Tiger News the next time it is mailed.
ONLY 4-STEPS TO JOIN US: Start by clicking on the:
2) Find your year of graduation and click on it. The next page will have your classmate names, including yours.
3) Find your name and click on it. You will see "JOIN HERE" and right below it you will see "Click Here Now to complete your Profile".
4) Follow the prompts to create your Profile. The password that you enter during this process will be used as your Log On password.
To access password protected pages on this site you will need to create your individual profile. You can personalize your page with information such as what you have been up to since graduation, school memories, your family, and photos.
IMPORTANT! Please do these two things as soon as you register:
1) Go to your profile page. At the bottom of this page check mark "Profile Visibility". This will block Google and other Web Search Engines from (indexing) making your page information viewable to the general public. If you want anyone other than registered SPHS alumni to have access to your page you can leave it unchecked.
Again, checking the box is how you restrict your personal Profile to only fellow Alumni, which blocks the general public and search engines from accessing your Profile details. Once you create a Profile, you will also be able to see all Profiles of your fellow classmates and interact with them.
2) Whitelist Postmaster@ClassCreator.net. Do this so you can receive future emails from us. Make sure this email address is safe-listed so our messages are not considered spam. If you don't know how to do this, check with your email provider or you can Google "How to whitelist my email".
All contact information that you enter into this website will be kept confidential. It will not be shared or distributed. Your contact information is private: your address and phone number can't be seen by the classmates unless you grant permission on your Profile. When someone clicks on your name, the only contact information they will see is your city and state and whatever information about yourself you choose to put on your Profile. Your email address is not visible, although an email can be sent to you using the contact box at the bottom of your Profile page. Note, however, if you send a message to someone through their Profile page, the Classmate will see your email address so that they can respond.
If you click "Remember Me" when you log in, you will not need to log in next time you go to the site. Note there is a password retrieval feature to click on: "Forgot Password?" in case you need to log in sometime and can't remember your password; the password will be sent to your email inbox. You can login from computers other than your home computer but you will need to enter your email address and password.
If you cannot find your name on the Classes & Classmates page, please contact us to have your name added. If you do not send us your full name, current home address and phone number, you will be asked for it before we add your name to the list. We welcome Classmates who went to school with us but did not graduate with us. If you feel more associated with this class than your own, we can provide you with a guest account. Contact us if you wish to obtain guest access for this site.
If you change your email address, snail mail address, or phone number, please update those in your Profile so we have your correct information at all times.
Always check back with the Home Page, where main information and announcements are made.
Most of all, enjoy and have fun with the website!

More Instructions
How to upload pictures to your web page:
- Be sure you are logged in on the home page. In the links on the left side under MEMBER FUNCTIONS, click on the link: Edit/Upload Photos.
- The Photo page will appear and you’ll see a gray box titled: Upload New photo. Click on this box and you will be at the Add Photo page.
- The Add Photo page gives basic instructions for uploading your photos. There are 3 places on this page to make entries.
- Sort: The sort number controls the order in which photos display on your page. By default your pictures will appear in the order you entered them, so this isn’t important for your first picture. But later if you want picture #5 to appear as #1, you will have to change the sort numbers on your pictures. If you delete a picture, the sort numbers for the remaining pictures do not change (e.g., if you delete picture #2 out of 4 pictures, you will show pictures #1, 3, and 4.)
Caption: Caption is the description you write for your picture.
Browse: This is the most important one, for this is how you find the picture on your computer and get it to appear on your page.
- Your first picture will automatically be Sort Number 1.
- Now click the Browse button. A list of folders on your computer will show up. Locate the folder that holds your picture. For most classmates this will be the My Pictures folder located in the My Documents folder. When you have clicked through to your picture file, click the view button at the top to show icons as pictures. This makes it easier to find the specific picture you want to upload.
- Select the picture you want to upload by clicking on it once, and then click Open at the bottom of the box.
- Now you will be taken back to the Add Photo page and in the Upload Photo box you will see the path to your picture.
- Enter the Caption for your picture in the box.
- Click the SAVE CHANGES button.
Now go to your Profile page and look for your picture and caption.
Shortcut for multiple pictures: If you are uploading several pictures that are in different folders, you can copy them to your desktop, then delete them later. Make sure you COPY, not move, your pictures, so you won’t delete the original.
If you are still having problems, please contact us.

Does Class Creator rent, sell, or in any way profit from having our Classmates' names, addresses, and personal information? How does it make its money?
No. Class Creator does not rent or sell any Classmate information or engage in any marketing or solicitation to Classmates. All personal contact information is held strictly confidential. Class Creator does not sell advertising on the website or display banner ads or pop-up windows. Class Creator does sell domain name registrations to Classes through its ClassNames.net subsidiary for $19 per year, but using that service is optional. This website is owned by our Alumni Association--not by Class Creator. Some classes have their own personal website they built using the ClassCreator system.
What is the purpose of this website?
This site has been created for three purposes. 1) It connects all alumni that do not have a class website with their classmates in order to have a reunion. 2) It re-establishes old friendships. Anyone that graduated in a particular year may want to reconnect with others even if they are not planning to attend an upcoming reunion. This gives those individuals that option. 3) It encourages alumni to join and support the South Pasadena High School Alumni Association.
Can I join the site even if I don't plan attend the reunion?
Yes. Even if you do not plan to attend upcoming reunions, it is hoped that there are old friends on this site that you would like to reconnect to and for that purpose you can still join the site.
Can I volunteer to help with the reunion?
Yes. Volunteers will be necessary to make sure that your reunion is a success.
