1. THE PURPOSE OF THIS WEBSITE

This site provides us with a one-stop Reunion Headquarters. It links Lowell classmates from the Class of Fall 1968 and Spring 1969, letting us prepare and share information for our 50th Reunion on September 28, 2019!  Following the Reunion, this site continues on as a means for you to communicate with fellow classmates via public messages, private messages, and general announcements. You will be able to create profiles, catch up with classmates and upload photos (yes, we want to see it all!). The site will also be a post-party scrapbook of memories for everyone to enjoy. All information will be confidential (see below).

Everything you need to know about setting up a profile to gain access to the rest of our website is on this page. If you have questions, please see 8. Contact Information at the bottom of this page.

2. PRIVACY NOTICE

All contact information (address, phone number, e-mail address) that you enter into this website will be kept confidential. The host of this web site, ClassCreator.com, is a locally-owned business. They understand the importance of your privacy. Your personal information will never be sold to other sites. It will not be shared or distributed (see note below regarding the Lowell Alumni Association) .

Your contact information is private; your street address, e-mail address, and phone number cannot be seen by classmates. Each classmate has the ability to limit the visibility of his or her profile to only fellow classmates by clicking on the appropriate answer in the Profile Visibility section during profile setup. If you do not opt for privacy on this line your profile can be viewed by non-members such as your friends or family, but also note your profile will be fully indexable by major search engines. 

Finding your class web site Profile pages by searching Google or other major search engines:

  • If you are signed on to the site and restricted your profile to only fellow classmates, and then use a search engine to see if the privacy options above are working, it will appear they are NOT. This is only because you are signed into the site. Sign out and check again. You will see that none of your profile information is viewable by non members.

Emails may be shared within this site using the contact option at the top of each classmate's profile page (just look under the classmate's main photo in the upper left). This way you will be able to contact classmates without sharing your private email address, unless you choose to do so.

All class Email news sent from us to you via this web site: For those of you with spam blocking or email filtering capabilities, please add noreply@classcreator.net to your email account as a safe sender in order to ensure you receive email communications from us.

Please note that if you do not want your name and picture on this site it may be removed by contacting the web administrator (see contact information at bottom of this page). This will end all communications to you from the Lowell High School Classes of Fall '68 - Spring '69, unless you ask that special arrangements be made (see 8. Contact Information below).

Updating the Lowell Alumni Association: The Lowell Alumni Association (LAA) seeks to maintain a current database of all Lowell graduates. The LAA provided your 50th Reunion organizers with the list of classmates that we currently have.  However for many, contact information and particularly email addresses are missing or no longer current.  As a reciprocal courtesy to LAA, upon the conclusion of the reunion, we would like to update LAA with any new contact information we receive.  Please let us know if you prefer that the Reunion Committee NOT provide LAA with your updated contact information.* (see 8. Contact Information below.)

(*We do not have the authority to request they remove any existing information that they already have.)

3. SETTING UP YOUR PROFILE

What you should do:  set up a profile, create a password, and enter your email address.

1. Click on the "Classmate Profiles" link, locate your name and click on it. Follow the prompts to create your profile.

Private information like your email address, home address, and phone numbers will not be visible to fellow classmates. Your information will never be given to other classmates without your permission. We collect mailing addresses in the event that we need to contact you by snail mail or phone.

2. We encourage you to add a current picture to your profile as a master photo. This photo will be displayed in various areas around the site. It's also helpful to upload an additional "Now" photo, and a "Then" photo. Classmates will enjoy seeing how you've changed!

3. If your name is not already on the site, but you were part of the Lowell High School Classes of Fall '68 - Spring '69, contact us and your name will be added.

4. Updates: If you change your email address, snail mail address, or phone number, please update your Contact Info so we have up to date information. That way you'll always be in the know about what your classmates are up to!

Passwords:

Choosing a password: Passwords do not need to be complex. Choose something simple that you are certain you will remember. Clicking the "Remember Me" will allow you to bypass entering the password each time you visit. Please make note of your password!

If you forget your password simply click on "forgot password". If you have several email accounts, and you don't remember the one you used to set-up your account, contact the web administrator (see 8. Contact Information below). This could take a while so please be patient.

4. FINDING MISSING CLASSMATES

We've uploaded as many graduates' names to this reunion website.   just had to upload graduates' names which came from Lowell records. You will notice some names have "missing" next to them. Until you set up a profile, you are considered "missing," so the sooner you register, the better for all of us.

Help Needed:  We still need help finding people. If everyone reaches out to just 8-10 people that you're still in contact with, we can make this a 100% event!

When you get contact info for a fellow classmate, listed or not listed, please provide that information to our web administrator (see 8. Contact Information below) and we will try and contact this classmate.

5. COMMUNICATING WITH CLASSMATES

To contact a fellow classmate, you may simply use the email option at the top left of each Classmate's Profile page (located under Master Photo). This feature will allow open communication between Classmates through the site, while automatically protecting your personal information. If you wish to share your email address or contact info within a message written on our site, that's OK too.  It's entirely your choice.

6. ADDING PICTURES TO YOUR PROFILE

Adding current pictures is not a requirement to participate on the site, but it certainly is a nice way to get to know people again. We've had reports of classmates who were routinely running into each other without knowing it, because...well....we've all changed a little over the years! :)

Filling in the photo slots at the top of your Profile:

  • Click "Edit Profile" under MEMBER FUNCTIONS.
  • Roll your cursor over the Master Photo, Then, Now, or Yearbook photo silhouette (Note: you cannot upload a yearbook photo if one has already been provided)
  • Click "Select Photo" displayed in the upper right corner of photo, then click the "Upload a New Photo" button.
  • Select the desired photo from your hard drive, desktop or photo library. You will then be given an opportunity to crop the photo for a perfect fit.

Adding large "Profile Gallery Images" to your Profile:

  • Clicked "Edit Profile" under MEMBER FUNCTIONS.
  • Click the photo tab in the upper right corner of your Profile.
  • You will see any images previously uploaded here. Click the "Upload a New Photo" button to add more.
  • Click to select images you wish to display on your Profile. All images with a green check mark will display. Click again to not display, and the green check mark will disappear.
