Welcome to the Cheltenham High School Class of 1968 webpage, CHS-68.org. Cheltenham Township was a great place to grow up in the 1950's and 60's. We were the consummate "baby boomers", and the "flower Children" of the 1960's. As children and young adults we saw the elimination of Polio, the first color television, the first satellite, the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, and Robert Kennedy, the Civil Rights Movement and the end of segregation, the first man walk on the moon, and a controversial war that killed over 58,000 Americans. We faced the fear of nuclear war and Soviet domination and we were the beginning of the "sexual revolution" and the "feminist movement." Quite a lot to take on as young adults, but we made it and like most CHS graduating classes we have been above average in our endeavors.
The main reason for creating this site is to hopefully find all of you who have scattered throughout the country and the world. 2008 marks the 40th year since graduation. We hope to have a reunion this year as we have had at 10, 20, and 30 years, but how can we plan a party if we can't find you! So please take a moment to send us your information using the registration link below. As a minimum we would like to have your email address, postal address, and phone, and if we do not have at least one of these we will not be able to contact you.
This is YOUR page and we welcome additional pictures, links, or information which we can include here. Send information or questions regarding this page to doug@crompton.com

Below are links to pay reunion sites but I highly recommend the free social connection site Facebook. Join up and search for lost friends from high school, college, the military, or anywhere. I have added a CHS Class of 1968 group at Facebook.
In addition to registering above you can also subscribe to the CHS68 mail list. This list allows class members to communicate by sending mail to one address and it is remailed to everyone on the list. To subscribe send mail to majordomo@crompton.com with the text subscribe chs68 in the message area.
The list will respond with confirmation of your subscription and additional information about the list.
So why are there links to TW and Glenside Elementary but not the other schools? Well that is because those are the schools I attended and that I have pictures and information for. I would be glad to feature your school if you can supply me with some material. If you have pictures you can scan of any school related activity from K-12 at any of the Cheltenham schools during the 55-68 period, please send them to me. My email is doug@crompton.com. Don't have a scanner? If you can send the items to me via regular mail I would be glad to scan them and return the orginals along with a CD copy. Email me and I will send you my address. Thanks.
Do you remember radio personality Jean Shepherd? He spoke at the forum series at CHS in May of 1968. Here is a recording of a show just prior to the CHS appearance from WOR in which he mentions CHS. Amoung Jean's accomplishments was the movie "The Christmas Story" which we see every holiday season. A more complete biography can be found at Jean Shepherd on Wikopedia
