and events from school)

Hey Alumni!
Ah, hope you all remember flipping through those Mendham High Journeyman yearbooks! Each one
captures that specific year as a student at school.
So here on this page are
many photos from the pages of the 35-plus-years of
Journeyman yearbooks (but don't worry, not
your freshman photo or anything!). These photos show bits and pieces
of school life that alumni may remember - like the building and grounds, events we attended,
the Minutemen football team, food we may have eaten, plus lots more, too!
Depending on when you were there, some photos you may
recognize, while some will make no sense whatsoever!
The photos
are roughly grouped by theme, and some are real silly, but
we already scanned them, so might as throw them
on here!
Each photo is captioned with the yearbook in which it was found. A second page of yearbook
photos is here.
Well, enjoy the journey through the Journeymans!

Starting things off, here are some old interior photos.
Ah, remember the halls, the lobby, the main gym? Most of those places
have been renovated and redone, but maybe
some places here still may look familiar ...
|
|
|
Here's the original cafeteria! Anyone remember eating lunch, sitting at those tables and yellowish chairs, surrounded by the black and white walls? I sure do!
Journeyman 1974

|
|
|
|
How many times did we walk down those halls!
Journeyman 1974
|
|
|
|
|
Remember hangin' in the lobby? It sure doesn't look much like this anymore, been renovated quite a bit!
Journeyman 1974

Playing with the parachute in gym class was so much fun! Wheeee!
Journeyman 1975
|
|
|
|
|
Anyone have Quiet Study when it was on the stage? I remember being there as a freshman!
Journeyman 1976
|
|
|
|
|
Remember being in the lobby, looking through that big window at the students below in gym class?
Journeyman 1984
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here are the old chairs! You were out of luck if you were left-handed!

Here is the statue that was in the library. My old brain is not sure who it is - Maybe it is Dewey?
Journeyman 1987
|
|
|
|
|
At the end of every school day, you always had to put the cafeteria chairs on top of the table
Journeyman 1987
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here's the big old globe in the library. I can't remember if you could spin it or not.

|
In the olden days, all lockers were orange! Orange was a very important color back then!
Journeyman 1986
|
|
|
|
|
In the 1990's, the lockers were painted, no more orange! Here are some white lockers
Journeyman 1999
|
|
|
|
|
Nowadays, many lockers are painted red. But I am happy to report, the INSIDE of the lockers are still ORANGE!!

If you drove, walked, or took the bus, you probably spent plenty of
time in front of the building! Here are some yearbook
photos showing the front of the school, the mound, and the circle through the years ...
|
|
|
Here are the infamous orange doors that greeted many of us on every school day!
Journeyman 1987

The farm next to the school is still there to this day! This is how the barn looked many years ago

Here is the entire Class of 1984 on the Circle! (That's Hilltop School way in the background)

And this is pretty much how it looks today, though the center of the Circle keeps changing!

In every fall season, many students kept an eager eye on how the Minutemen football team
was doing! Here are some football photos and memories from over the years ...
|
|
I think this is Homecoming 1973! Big party with lots of balloons released into the air! (We didn't care about the dolphins choking on them back then)

Minutemen head on up the hill after a good game! (No Field House back then)

Journeyman 1986

Here's the bleachers for fans of the opposing team. You were never suppose to sit there!!

Here is our side's bleachers down by the football field. The bleachers have been modernized since this photo

Minutemen didn't play too badly in the fall of 1987 - a lot of close games, though!

And here is a recent picture of the football bleachers. Go Minutemen!

I'm sure you all had your favorite teachers, or had some you unfortunately couldn't
erase from your memory! Even though I would love to show some groovy teacher photos from the 1970s with their fuzzy afro hairdo's, I can't since
my nieces may attend MHS and I don't want them blacklisted or anything! So instead here are some yearbook drawings and other memories
involving the esteemed faculty ...
|
|
Oh no! Science teacher Kietrys says the Universe is moving towards maximum entrophy! Have we arrived there by now?
Journeyman 1976
|
|
|
|
|
Here's Principal Matthews and Mr. Werle! Hmmm, they look a tad sinister, don't they?
Journeyman 1976
|
|
|
|
|
Mr. Grossman is a mile ahead. But you can already see the tip of his really long spotted tie!
Journeyman 1985
|
|
|
|
Bet you know who this is!!
Journeyman 1976
|
|
|
|

I don't know who this is, but the poor dude has a typewriter! Who uses those anymore?

Here's a really groovy teacher!

Here's Captain Trigonometry, coming to teach us the joy of sines and cosines! (Many thanks to an alumni for identifying this, as I couldn't even hazard a guess ...)

Here's the coke machine from the faculty lunch room by the cafeteria! I can see Dr. Pepper, Diet Coke, and Coca-Cola
Journeyman 1987

And finally, here is the caption under Mrs. Crane's yearbook photo. She SKIED?? Who knew?

Now for a look at food at Mendham High over the three plus decades.
Everyone always loved the cafeteria food, didn't we! (Ok, I was kidding there ... really .... it wasn't that bad ... was it?)
|
|
|
The class of 1976 sometimes drank Hi-C from those cans. I remember those! The photo shows Wild Berry; I preferred Etco Cooler!
Journeyman 1976

Here's a lunch from 1985. Not sure what the food is, but I sure recognize that chocolate milk (which usually ran out by 8th period lunch!)
Journeyman 1985
|
|
|
|
|
Here's a lunch from 1987. Everyone drank milk back then, didn't they! And we all always cleaned up after ourselves!
Journeyman 1987
|
|
|
|
|
|
The faculty enjoyed their coffee! Here's Principal Grossman's personal coffee pot (complete with a little milk, too!)
Journeyman 1985

|
|
|
|
We had hotdogs back in 1988! I was there but I don't remember ever eating one!
Journeyman 1988

|
|
|
|
Here's a lunch! There is a mystery meat, some orange cupcakes, and chocolate milk, of course!
Journeyman 1989
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here is a lunch from 1993. Is that milk or orange juice, not sure! Definitely see some pink lemonade. Yum!
Journeyman 1993
|
|
|
|
|
Here in 1999, students are now drinking soda and powerade. Terrible! Where's the milk?
Journeyman 1999

|
|
|
|
And nowadays, the students can buy soft pretzels!! Lucky!!

And here are a whole bunch of miscellaneous random yearbook photos that I couldn't figure out where else to put them, plus some
newer photos, in no particular order. Maybe some of things may still ring a bell ....
|
|
Anyone still have their class rings? Sadly I never got one, my parents would never pay!

Inspiration yearbook quote - so how did your future turn out?

Here's a mural advertising a big 50's themed dance in the main gym! Bring back those nostaglic years at the Greaser dance!

Anyone remember being in the Thoreau Society? It's long gone. I can't remember what they did, anyways!

A state of the art textbook - Learn how to program in Basic! I remember taking that class with Mr. Wargacki!

Nowadays, the school paper is called The Patriot. Where's Pipeline? Where's Espirit? Where's the Underground Gazette? (I assume long gone!)

Here's the school enshrouded in a deep, mysterious fog ... Spooky ...

Here's some plaque for some principal (DeMartino?) I only vaguely heard of. Well, maybe you know who she was, she was after my time! But lucky her, she gets a nice plaque in the wood chips!

And here is the bike rack. I am the only one nerdy enough to admit I actually rode a bike to school (Rack is gone now)

|
| And finally, this one may strike many a memory
to the 70's folk! This is a folding garage door, I think on the lower level of the
school. Apparently, back in the 1970's, vandalizing ... oops I mean
expressing yourself by writing phrases onto the door was a cool
thing to do! This door is long gone; I assume it bit the dust
when the Auxiliary Gym was built!
|
|
|
Using my trusty magnifying glass, some things written on the door are:
|
"Turk X Convict"
"Doors"
"BK Nov 21, 75"
"King Crimson"
"Jeff"
"Cream"
"Black Sabbath"
"Got those Mendham High Blues again yup"
"Pink Floyd"
|
|
"Kiss my Aura, Dora"
"Derringer"
"Lynard Skynard"
"JF Sept 25 1975"
"CC was here Sept 25 1975"
"Zappa Oct 31"
"ZZ Top"
And some nice words that start with "F"!
