"By Our Efforts We Shall Rise"

Archival site for the
Bend High class of 1958
Bend Oregon

No member will be forgotten, and all left

their

mark.

Teachers thought some would end up in prison. The

authorities

could n

ever

catch u

s

,

but we never did anything destructive or evil. Our parents and

town folk shook their head

s

and

kind of looked the other way and all in all

were a bit proud of our spunk and moxie.

But from this group emerged extraordinary mothers and fathers, nurses,

attorneys, artist

s

, teachers,

m

usicians

, business owners, military leaders,

computer technicians, scientist

s

, and plain old hard working people.

Thankfully none became politicians.

Bend High thrived because of us. The world

i

s

better because of us.

Our

history is written and will never be forgotten.

Our class motto: “By Our Efforts We Shall Rise”

This is the historical and archive site for the graduates of
Bend High School, Class of 1958, Bend Oregon.

To the class of 1958

The journey has come to an end classmates, not because we wanted it

to, but because technology left us behind. Years back, at an All Class

Reunion in Bend, our esteem class president Bill Brennan ask

ed

if

anyone

knew anything about building websites. I, not remembering the

first

rule of the Army, “don't volunteer for anything”, raised my hand.

Now,

all these years later, you and I have created a wonderful history of

the

BHS class of 1958. I am proud of what we have created and want to

take this opportunity to thank you for taking the time to send me

photos, newspaper clippings and all sorts of information that will remain

archived for the world to see. Next time you feel a little low, grab a cup

of coffee, get in front of your device of choice and bring up the

website, go into any of the archive pages and just start looking at

the

trove of photos in front of you. You can click on them to see them

larger if desired, and enjoy our journey together. I think you will smile

and maybe even get a little tear in your eye.

Thank you my lifelong friends.......
