Welcome to AHS Class of 71

Did we REALLY wear
this stuff???

Long overdue -- a web site for the Athens, Texas High School Class of 1971. Hey--we were an important group of folks, right?

What do you remember most about AHS? What did you like? What did you not like? Who were you dating (goodness, a scary thought, huh??!!)? Who was your best friend? Who was your favorite teacher?

Have you even thought about those things lately?

Through the technological magic of the Internet, we hope to re-kindle some of those old memories and share them amongst ourselves.

Browse around and have some fun. Check out the Discussion Board, where we hope to see ongoing dialog about all kinds of things.

Please be sure to check out the "slide show" in the bottom right corner of each page on the site. These are the "missing" from our class. Please let us know if you know how to contact any of these folks!

We hope you enjoy the site. If you would like to see us add something, just drop a line to the and we will try to get it added for you.

If you haven't done so, visit the Athens ISD web site. Be sure to check out the dress code for students these days! (WOW!!)
