Join The Alumni Web Site Mailing List!

This alumni stuff is a heck of a lot more fun if a bunch of people are involved. Maybe our motto should be "The more the merrier!"

I distribute an electronic WYHS.org newsletter via Email - usually about once a month. The newsletter contains a bit of info about what's going on in Whitehall and as much Alumni-related info as I can find.

I'd love to have 5,000 WYHS Alumni on my E-mail distribution list by the time our "All Class" reunion rolls around. Please Click Here to sign up for the mailing list. Also, please spread the word about the web site and mailing list to your fellow WYHS classmates.

 To reach the old wyhs.org "start" page

The site has several domain names, including www.wyhs.org, www.wyhsRams.com, and www.RamsAlumni.com. All bring you to this site. From here you have access to a ton of information, memories, and stories sure to be of interest to WYHS alumni. You may also notice that some of the pages have a different "look and feel." I'm in the process of changing some things. If you find a link that doesn't work or an image that doesn't load, would you please let me know? Oh - this page is the "new" look.

You should know that this wyhs.org / wyhsRams.com web site is a private web site. I've got no affiliation with the Whitehall City Schools or any other "official" organization in Whitehall. In addition, I have absolutely no connection with a site called WhitehallRams.com.

Information published on the site is gathered from various sources, and since this is a hobby for me, there's a real good chance you're going to find some mistakes here and there. All information is presented "as is" - if you're looking for perfection, there's a real good chance you're going to be disappointed in here. If you find an error or an omission, please let me know and I'll try to get it fixed as soon as I get a chance.

When my wife's multiple sclerosis progressed to the point where she couldn't be left alone for long periods of time, I started a home-based business so I could work from the house and take care of her. If you'd like to read a bit about the Fish family and my home based business, please click here to reach the "about us" page on my business web site. And if you're a real glutton for punishment, you can check out my personal web site, robfish.com

Paula (Replogle) Fish (1953 - 2003) was a 1971 graduate of WYHS.
