This page is about Phil's 30th high school reunion. Penguins don't have high school reunions. Come to think of it, what IS a high school?

See you later!

GR Central Class of '71 30th anniversary reunion

In June of 1971, just over 400 young men and women became graduates of
Grand Rapids Central High School.
It has been said that you can't go home. And while that may be true...
A small group of Central class of '71 graduates are going to prove otherwise.
By special permission with Project TicToc, they are going to activate the Time Tunnel.
The tunnel's power systems are now fully recharged.

The temporal viewing screen is about to activated.
That adventurous group will now venture back 30 years in time...
...to stand once again inside these doors.

Since their graduation, Central High School was granted historical site status by the State of Michigan
As we see what they see...the hallways seem strangely empty and quiet.
Jan Truer opens the AV club door..and we see..

the Central AV club of 30 years ago. The past begins to mix with the present.
Now this is more like it..people hanging around the halls
Entering the speech room.

Another merging of past with the present.
The Counseling Office..one of the more dreaded school locations.
An architectural beauty..hiding in a high school.

These temporal intrusions are causing problems.
According to our records..
those stairways were NOT enclosed in 1971!

Some teachers have a lasting effect on students. Do you remember these teachers...
..or these?
Two former ROTC leaders, reunited after 30 years..in strange, but familiar surroundings.

Our temporal lock is drifting badly...look at the viewer.
We can barely keep our lock on them. Don't want to lose any MORE people in this thing. Move them to the Reception.
Nice cake!
