I think that's Tarzan, Jane and Cheetah imbibing in the back.
Here are photos of Crawford from the 1960 Centaur and a 2023
Google Street View. Dan Chesser '72 wants to know when it became
a 4-year school. You got me.
From the September 29, 1961 Evening Tribune. My invitation must
have gotten lost in the mail.

column in the San Diego Union-Tribune.
George Sorensen '69 is at it again! If I understand him
correctly, his latest book -- due out February 24th -- is about
his desire to learn the cello, and to play his favorite Beatles'
tune -- on a Stradivarius. I'm taking side bets on the tune. I'm
going with Norwegian Wood, no -- wait -- Blackbird,
no -- wait . . . Click HERE to check out

Here's a stunning black-and-white photo of what I
still call the Old Spanish Lighthouse. Click HERE

Chamberlin.
The Slayens are fine -- thank you for asking -- but
Larry wonders if I can locate a long ago newspaper article that
featured a photo of several sets of twins that were at Crawford
along with the Slayens. I remember the article, and was pretty
sure I had shared it, but I can't find it. Larry thought it was
1961, but a search of the UT archives turned up nothing. I'll
check 1960 'cause I think the photo included graduates from that
year. (Bob Richardson '61, who graciously pulls these yearbook
photos for me is amused, as am I, at folks' fond memories of the
Prom or Graduation. We're pretty sure anything you had to say
needed to be submitted to the annual staff probably in April.)
Benny Holloway sends news of the passing of his classmate and pal James Falconer ‘67 this past January 27, 2025. "Jimmy and I became friends while attending Kindergarten at John Muir School in the fall of 1954. After high school, Jimmy married Nancy Moore, from Crawford’s Class of 1968. He received His General Contractor's License in San Diego and was able to transfer it when he and Nancy moved to Concrete Washington in 1977. He developed a successful small construction company, while at the same time running a small ranch, where he and Nancy maintained a herd of cattle. Jimmy, with his crew, built hundreds of homes over a 30-year period. In 2019 Jimmy and Nancy retired, sold their ranch and home in Washington, and moved to Quartzite, Arizona. They purchased a home there and enjoyed their hobbies as Rockhounds. Jimmy's health began to fail over the past four years and he lost a leg to an infection in 2023. Jimmy was predeceased by his brother Mike Falconer ’64."
