Happy 50th Birthday, 1978 NHHS Alumni!

Dear Classmates,
 
Due to the Facebook.com phenomena and its wonderful ability to serve as a communications hub for groups as well as individuals, we have established a class of 1978 Facebook group page there.
 
If you’re not yet a (free) member of www.Facebook.com, join up! You can then visit your fellow NHHS classmates at this link: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/group.php?gid=143106709062841&ref=ts , or simply search for us by typing “Newport Harbor High School Class of 1978” in the search box.
 
Our Facebook group page is a private group and only 1978 NHHS graduates or alumni who were somehow unable to graduate with us will be allowed to be members of our group. There are other less exclusive Newport Beach based groups on Facebook also if you are interested.
