Class of 1969's 45th Reunion

Yearbook Guide

How to submit your Yearbook information

The Class of 1969 is unique (we all know that) in the fact that with every major reunion we have produced a Class Yearbook.  Most Princeton classes don’t bother.  But we do!  Why?  It is a great way to tell your classmates what you have been up to over the past five to 45 years, and a great way for everyone else to catch up on their classmates, roommates and friends.  We have always believed the time (and money) is well worth it.  We are also one of the few classes that send the yearbook to all classmates.  This year for our 45th we are doing a few things differently:

• We plan to send the yearbook to everyone on April 1st, to get you excited about reunions and maybe even encourage some less frequent attendees to join us for the festivities.

• We have a new on-line process to make it convenient to submit your entry for the yearbook.  This will make it much easier to participate than in past reunions.  See below for the simple instructions.
  

• And finally, our goal is to have at least 69% of our class provide some level of input to the yearbook (at our 40th it was about 47%).  We will do our best to track you down, bug you and encourage your participation.  Don’t be the guy that opens the Yearbook next April and says:  "I wish I had submitted an entry.”

NOTE: all information is voluntary!  If you do not want particular information included in the Yearbook, simply don't provide it.  We ask that you do not erase existing information in your profile, since it's synchronized with the University's database, courtesy of the Alumni Council.

NOTE: all profile information is password-protected.  Only classmates with login IDs can access the Class Directory, which is the repository of your profile information.

So how can you participate?  Here are the two ways:

• Since you're already on the class website, go for the online method!  Obviously, this is the preferred method since it saves us editors a TON of extra work.  Here's how to submit your data:  First, log onto this site if you're not already logged in.  If you don't yet have a login ID, click here for instructions.  Once you're logged in, click this My Profile icon (you can also find it in the left side-bar).
  
  
  
  
  This will take you to the first of seven screens on which you can provide information BOTH for the Yearbook and for the Class Directory.  NOTE: you are not required to fill in every field.  Simply provide the information you wish to share, then click "Next" at the top of the page.  Here are the topics you can provide:
  
• Your own information (Personal, Home, Business, Education, etc.)
• Family (Spouse/Partner, Children, Grandchildren, etc.)
• Photos (College-era, Preferred Yearbook photo, other).  PLEASE provide a photo! If you need help, email our Webmaster.
• Groups (Extra-curriculars, Clubs, etc. that you participated in as an undergraduate).  PLEASE update this information by checking your groups!
  
• Essay (Again, please submit your thoughts  -- briefly.)
• Remembrances (We encourage you to provide your remembrances of our deceased classmates)
• The End (Our thank-you page)

• If you are technically challenged there are two manual ways to provide us input for the yearbook:
• Send an email to bfreeman@princeton.edu;  or
• Provide your input on a piece of paper and sent it to:
  

For anyone NOT providing any Yearbook data, we will use the information contained in the University Database.  Therefore this is a good time to make sure your information is up to date! If you are providing a manual entry, here is the information we would like to have:
Name, nickname, address, email, phone number, Spouse/Partner Name, Children, Occupation (including address), and a brief (less than ½ a page) essay on anything you would like to pass on to your classmates.


We look forward to hearing from you and producing our best Class Yearbook ever!

Thanks for participating in our Yearbook for our 45th Runion.  If you have any questions or comments, email our Webmaster Jeff Kaplan or our Yearbook Chair Bruce Freeman.
