"This is an Official Website of the South Pasadena High School-Class of '72"

It is completely free to all of our alumniYou will never be asked to pay to make a profile or to be able to access other alumni profiles.

Your only requirement to participate is to provide all of your contact information. Please enter your complete mailing address including zip code and your telephone number. You will receive a FREE annual copy of Tiger News the next time it is mailed.


  • This is a private site just for the Class of '72! If you want to also interact with alumni from other class years, you can register at the ALL-YEARS website at: www.SPHSAA-Classmates.org  It is an "open access website". This allows easy communication among other class years and registered alumni. It does not use the high security features we use on this site but its still safe.


  • HOW TO JOIN IN ON THE FUN: To get started, go to the "Contact Us" page. 1) Enter "Need Password" as the subject. Send your full name (ladies include your maiden name), address and phone number. If you did not graduate with us please indicate when you left SPHS.

Click on your name and follow the instructions to create your permanent log on password. Once your contact page has been completed and verified you will receive an email that you have full website access and you can interact with your fellow classmates.

  • NEXT: Add all of your contact information in detail (this is the only requirement for your site membersip) and then create your individual profile. You don't have to finish it all at once. You can come back whenever you have time to update your information or add more photos or content. Pay attention because there may be new questions added to the profiles page. You can choose what you want to fill out.

  • NOT IN THE COPA? If you attended SPHS, even if you did not graduate or left early, you will be listed with the rest of the classmates. If you were not in the '72 Copa, please send me a photo of you from the school you finally graduated from or from about that time period. I want to post it on the upper right hand corner of your page. 

  • GUESTS: If you attended school in South Pasadena (but NOT SPHS) you can be listed as a GUEST and your name will be located at the bottom of the Classmate Profiles page (not alphabetically with classmates).

  • IMPORTANT: You need to "safelist" email from postmaster@classcreator.net. If you don't you may miss important email from our website that will go to your junk email. You might want to adjust your settings to "always display images" from postmaster@classcreator.net. (This is the web server our email originates from).

  • Personalize your profile with information such as what's kept you busy since you graduated from high school or since the last reunion (if you attended), and include school memories, photos, etc.

  • If you choose, Password Protect your personal profile to block the general public and search engines from accessing your profile detail. Its your choice.

  • PRIVACY: All contact information that you enter into this website will be kept confidential.  It will not be shared or distributed.  Your information is private, your address and home phone number can’t be seen by the classmates unless you grant permission on your profile.  When someone clicks on your name they will only see your yearbook picture (if available), your city, province/state and whatever personal information you choose to put into your profile.

    ** If you send a message to someone through their profile they will see your email address so that they can respond.

  • Question: Is my contact information secure on our website?

    Answer: This information is not visible to anyone except yourself unless YOU choose to make it available, which can be done from your Edit Profile link. You can give family and friends your web page address and they can visit your web page, as can others who may come to the Home Page and click on your name on the Classmate Profiles page. If you prefer that your web page be visible only to classmates who are logged in, you should check mark the box on your Edit Profile page that says: Profile Visibility. Your email address cannot be made viewable through your Edit Profile page, but others may send you an email through the contact box at the bottom of your page.


  • If you click "Remember Me" when you log in, you will not need to log in next time you go to the site. Note there is a password retrieval feature to click on: "Forgot Password?" in case you need to log in sometime and can't remember your password; the password will be sent to your email inbox. You can login from computers other than your home computer but you will need to enter your password.

  • YOU MAY OPT-OUT of the bulk emails from the class administrator (or from email updates from classmates who update their pages) at any time by clicking on the unsubscribe notice at the bottom of any email you receive. Do not ask the administrator to unsubscribe you (he can not). Unsubscribing is an individual classmate choice and function. If you visited a classmate page and requested updates any time that classmate posts new updates to their page, you have to unsubscribe from those individual emails if you wish for them to stop. Go to "Profile Subscriptions" to do this.

  • Always check back at the Home Page.  That is where the main information and announcements are made!

More Instructions

How to upload pictures to your web page:  
  • Be sure you are logged in on the home page. In the links on the left side under MEMBER FUNCTIONS, click on the link: Edit/Upload Photos.

  • The Photo page will appear and you’ll see a gray box titled: Upload New photo. Click on this box and you will be at the Add Photo page.

  • The Add Photo page gives basic instructions for uploading your photos. There are 3 places on this page to make entries.

  • Sort: The sort number controls the order in which photos display on your page. By default your pictures will appear in the order you entered them, so this isn’t important for your first picture. But later if you want picture #5 to appear as #1, you will have to change the sort numbers on your pictures. If you delete a picture, the sort numbers for the remaining pictures do not change (e.g., if you delete picture #2 out of 4 pictures, you will show pictures #1, 3, and 4.)
    Caption: Caption is the description you write for your picture.
    Browse: This is the most important one, for this is how you find the picture on your computer and get it to appear on your page

  • Your first picture will automatically be Sort Number 1.

  • Now click the Browse button. A list of folders on your computer will show up. Locate the folder that holds your picture. For most classmates this will be the My Pictures folder located in the My Documents folder. When you have clicked through to your picture file, click the view button at the top to show icons as pictures. This makes it easier to find the specific picture you want to upload.

  • Select the picture you want to upload by clicking on it once, and then click Open at the bottom of the box

  • Now you will be taken back to the Add Photo page and in the Upload Photo box you will see the path to your picture.

  • Enter the Caption for your picture in the box.

  • Click the SAVE CHANGES button.
Now go to your Profile page and look for your picture and caption.

Shortcut for multiple pictures: If you are uploading several pictures that are in different folders, you can copy them to your desktop, then delete them later. Make sure you COPY, not move, your pictures, so you won’t delete the original.

If you are still having problems, please contact us.

Does Class Creator rent, sell, or in any way profit from having our Classmates' names, addresses, and personal information?  How does it make its money?

No.  Class Creator does not rent or sell any Classmate information or engage in any marketing or solicitation to Classmates.  All personal contact information is held strictly confidential.  Class Creator does not sell advertising on the website or display banner ads or pop-up windows.  Class Creator does sell domain name registrations to Classes through its ClassNames.net subsidiary for $19 per year, but using that service is optional.  This website is owned by our Alumni Association--not by Class Creator. Some classes have their own personal website they built using the ClassCreator system. 

What is the purpose of this website?

This site has been created for three purposes. 1) It connects all alumni that do not have a class website with their classmates in order to have a reunion.  2) It re-establishes old friendships. Anyone that graduated in a particular year may want to reconnect with others even if they are not planning to attend an upcoming reunion. This gives those individuals that option. 3) It encourages alumni to join and support the South Pasadena High School Alumni Association.

Can I join the site even if I don't plan attend the reunion?

Yes. Even if you do not plan to attend upcoming reunions, it is hoped that there are old friends on this site that you would like to reconnect to and for that purpose you can still join the site.

Can I volunteer to help with the reunion?

Yes. Volunteers will be necessary to make sure that your reunion is a success.
