JUNE 2006: Reunion 2006 brought much
fun, great memories, and important changes to the direction of the School
of Performing Arts Association. A new Board of Directors has been seated:
look for exciting new inroads in fund-raising, publicity, class histories
and archive development, and a celebration of PA's 59th Anniversary in
2007 which will go even further in spreading the word about who we are
and what we do!
Of special interest are "local color" shots you may have: of
the school, of 46th street, of Times Square; these are all areas that
have changed drastically since our collective times there, even since
the very last class graduated in '84, actually; and preserving our history
and our presence there are of utmost importance-- before those photos
crumble away (or we do!)
We also hope to have a complete YEARBOOK ARCHIVE available here. Your
books will be scanned and converted into PDF format, easily viewable by
all on the 'net. To get things started, the Classes of 1975 and 1964 have
gracefully sent their yearbook in to the Project to get things started.
Continue to look for this site to reflect your interests and needs, to
support the Board of Directors in its new path, and to ask YOU to do likewise:
to support the Board, as its members reach out to you alumni to assist
in the myriad of exciting projects awaiting us all in 2007 and beyond.
