Gatherings/Dinners: Check our Reunions page to find your class and visit its reunion page. Because many of our urgent notices are news of deaths of alumni or that of members of alumni families, you may wish to also check our obituary and/or sympathy pages for additional information or for notices more than a month old. Some alumni with profiles listed on The East High Alumni Page are getting e-mail solicitations from an outfit calling itself EastHighAlumni.com. That organization appears to be a commercial, for-profit outfit, similar to classmates.com, catering to alumni of many schools but with the smart idea having lots of web addresses with particular schools' names in them. EastHighAlumni.com has no association with The East High Alumni Page and to the extent they may be using e-mail addresses gathered here, they are being taken without our involvement. We hope you find our alumni site provides what you want and need in an alumni web site without a need to use any of the other "alumni" web pages. We occasionally receive a "bounced back" message indicating an e-mail message from The East High Alumni Page was rejected by the recipient's computer because the message contained a virus. The messages were never from us and all messages originated by us are anti-virus scanned automatically before they are sent. For any mail you receive, use standard precautions in deciding whether to open the message(s) and always be running an anti-virus product. Obituaries of alumni and faculty and sympathy notices to alumni and faculty for their family losses remain on The East High Alumni Page permanently. You may review them at the obituary page, the sympathy page (covering the past 12 months) or the sympathy archive page. News items about the school and/or alumni can be found in our news section.

Notes from column 1 (footnotes): *The East High Alumni Page has a long definition of what qualifies as urgent news for the purposes of this Portal Page. Summarized, it means news available in time for alumni to take action in support in cases of a serious risk to life or express sympathy for loss of life of alumni or their families, or major news about the school. News not considered urgent or especially important appears on ourIn the news... section. 1. Delayed notices - consist of information which would have qualified as urgent or other important news if posted here in a timely basis but were unknown to us at the time or were otherwise delayed. If it would have qualified as urgent, it is usually posted in the urgent area of this column for about a day before moving into the "Recent (previously) urgent and other recent important news" section. 2. Our
ability to provide
useful information about deaths and obituaries of alumni and/or members
of their families has likely been compromised by a new policy of The
Commercial Appeal, Memphis major daily newspaper, which was
implemented June 16, 2005. It has limited the number of words provided
in a free obituary to that which severely hampers an attempt to
correctly identify people. Additional words are available only for a
price. The East High Alumni Page’s primary source for news of
alumni and family deaths is that newspaper and our ability to identify,
with some assurance, those with East ties is based on names of
relatives and other information in a properly written and presented
obituary. So, we expect we will recognize fewer names and be unable to
confirm individuals are East associated and, therefore, be unable to
relay the information to you. The newspaper's decision is regretted in
this office and that disappointment has been communicated to that
publication. 3. Entries with the "reported deceased" designation indicate a reunion committee or other person(s) believed closely associated with the class has indicated they have information they believe quite reliable about the death of the individual so designated. The East High Alumni Page has not received sufficient documentation to confirm the information and therefore does not confirm the death or that the individual who died is the one of the same name who attended East High School. Such reports without confirmation should be taken with a degree of skepticism. Anyone with documentation to confirm the report or refute the report is strongly encouraged to contact the editor of The East High Alumni Page at editor@EastHigh.org promptly. Please see our obituary policy.
