This section of the Web site displays
photographs provided by members of the NNHS Class of ’55 and other
sources when we can find them. At the moment, there are seven different
photo galleries identified, but we reserve the right to change this from
time to time as more material becomes available or we just get tired of
the same old format. Not all of the galleries have photos yet, but this
will be remedied when we get submissions from class members.
Good quality photos take a lot of storage
space on the server’s hard drive, and we have purchased only so much.
Consequently, the pictures in each gallery will change over time with a
frequency that is commensurate with the quantity of material provided by
our classmates. We hope they change a lot.
Most of the pictures in the galleries are
thumbnails—pictures that are large enough to see generally what they
contain, but small enough to get a whole bunch on a single page. When
one strikes your fancy, click on it and you will be hyperlinked to a
larger version of the photo which has comments by the photo supplying
classmate (if any), the quips supplied for that photo by various
classmates, the photo’s identification (so you can supply your own quips
or comments), and the best identification of the people in the picture
that we have.
At the bottom of the "Quips" page there
is a "Back" button and a "Make Quips, Etc." button. Please send us your
own (classmates only) quips or comments to add to the photo. Note that
such quips and comments will be attributed to the supplying party, so
give us your name as you want it to appear in the text.
We have also used a packaged Photo
Gallery feature provided by Microsoft for groups of pictures. This
is a quicker and easier (but still laborious) way to get the photos on
the site. These mini-Photo Galleries have the thumbnails along the
top and arrow tabs on either side if there are more thumbnails than will
fit the width of the page. Click an arrow to scroll to a new
thumbnail. Click on any thumbnail to see the larger version of the
photo.
We also need help from all viewers of the
site in identifying people in the pictures. If you are viewing the
picture and know someone that has not been identified or see a
misidentification, please let us know by using the "Make Quips, Etc."
button.
Within the limits of our purchased space
and the practicality of editing and maintaining the galleries, we will
endeavor to keep pictures displayed as long as possible before archiving
them.
The displayed photos will be annotated
with whatever information we have been supplied by the providing
classmate. Comments and quips, where there are any, are identified as to the originator, which adds some fun to picture viewing.
Some photo pages got too big and required
additional pages to prevent incessant waiting for the page to download
to your Web browser. In these cases, the main page is clearly
marked to indicated additional pages of photos and a button link is
provided to get you there. Even with this tactic, dial-up
connections will probably be slow.
To get to a
Photo Gallery, just click on a button below. To return to this
list, click on the Return button at the bottom of the Photo Gallery
page.
