Uni Tour - 08 Oct 2005, 9:30am

As our second major event of the reunion, we gathered at Uni on Saturday morning to do a tour. Not much had really changed since last year, but I did get a lot of good people shots...


Images
Uni High
Our beloved school. (I'm playing with a 50mm f/1.8 lens for the duration of this shot, so bear with me).
Uni High, II
This shows a bit more of the street. I'm not sure if this really adds much.
Bricks
Many of us paid to have our sayings put onto the bricks outside of Uni. Only a few were censored.
Welcome Sign
This would have been better with a flash. Or more light. Or a tripod. Or generally, me not experimenting so much...
Sniffing the Locker
Tim Ballard wasn't sure what the new students were doing in his locker... (Again, a flash would have helped.)
Extending Out
The handprints, which used to be contained in the lounge, are coming for us!
Extending In
They're growing in the room too, but that doesn't seem as big a deal.
More Extending Out
I expect that the classrooms will be taken over some day.
James
One of many people that I haven't seen for too many years.
RAIM
That's "Redundant Array of Independent Microwaves", for you non-geeks.
D-A
She didn't want her name online, so I've indulged her.
Cindy
One of our Fearless Leaders, even if she did beat me out for Class President back in the day... (Not that I tried very hard.)
D-A and Cindy
You can tell which one is happier to have her picture taken.
Mrs. Laughlin
Our teacher attendance was fairly low, but it was good to see those that did come.
Mr. Sutton
One of my favorite teachers, as well as one of the most likely to be seen around town.
Drake
One of the few of us to reproduce, he was also one of my closer high school friends. I actually met his wife...
Mr. Sutton and Drake
The teachers seemed just as happy to catch up with us as we did to catch up with them.
Wenlan and Asako
Wenland was another late arrival. Asako, of course, had been keeping track of us for days already...
Jenne and Mrs. Laughlin
I didn't recognize it until now, but it's odd to have teachers in the lounge.
General Mingling
This was how we passed the start of the morning, just mingling and carrying on...
Wenlan and Mrs. Joskusch
That, and a bunch of handprints.
Drake, II
Look! A nametag! (I wish I got one...)
Drake and Sari
I honestly think that Sari was one of the most enthusiastic to arrive.
Lilly
She came with boyfriend in tow.
Sari with Camera
The batteries died shortly thereafter, but we got a few shots.
Principal Patton
This was the second time I'd met her; she still seems nice enough.
Contemplative Sapna
Listening to a teacher, like in the old days.
Listening Attentively
Principal Patton was telling us of the future of Uni. (Sapna, Lilly's Boyfriend, Cindy, D-A)
Listening Attentively, II
We were happy to learn what we could. (Jenne, Louis, Mrs. Jockusch, Drake, Gene)
Table
Mrs. Morris' table was a nice addition to the place.
Organ
I just like getting shots of the organ.
Cindy and Tim
Two old runners, together again!
Wandering Classrooms
The science classrooms took up a lot of our time.
Moles
In the Chemistry classroom. Get it? Eh? Eh? *grin*
Felix the Cat
They needed a school cat back in the day...
Checking out the Science Rooms
You can tell that our old science teacher, Mrs. Morris, was the main teacher around to lead us.
Vital Research Equipment
How could anybody work without their iPod?
Library Sign
"Future Home of More Graphic Novels". Yay! (I'm still glad that Frances took my suggestion to get some Sandman...)
Group Shot
Well, the mingling beforehand, anyway.
Group Shot, II
The left side! (Tim B, Hannah, Michelle, Sari, Wenlan, Sapna, N. Hajj, Tim S, Louis, Ellen, George, Drake, Gene; James, Cindy, Lilly, Asako, D-A, Jenne, Becca)
Group Shot, III
And the middle! (Tim B, Hannah, Michelle, Sari, Wenlan, Sapna, Tim, N. Hajj, Louis, Ellen, George, Drake, Gene; James, Cindy, Lilly, Asako, D-A, Jenne, Becca)
Post-Picture Mingling, I
I still could have done better with a tripod, I believe. (Becca, Jenne, Gene)
Post-Picture Mingling, II
Oh well. I still got some reasonable shots. (Sapna, D-A, Wenlan, Louis)
Michelle
She was the last to arrive for this particular festivity.
