Welcome to the Sulphur High School Class
of 1987 web site. I hope that this site will present the
opportunity to rekindle old friendships, locate classmates that have
been missing from our lives, and bring back fond memories of high
school. It seems strange that
so many years have past, and that so many close friendships either
become acquaintances or have dissolved all together.
I hope that through this site you
will get the chance to learn had has happened in the lives of those
long ago friends.
Please enjoy your time here.
Participate in the discussions in the forum. Visit all the
areas of the site and relive memories from days gone by.
Mainly, don't forget, we are Tors, and that will always bond us. |
SITE NEWS
01-06-2009 - UPDATE:::
The photo uploads for the alumni section are now working properly.
Please let me know if you experience any issues.
01-04-2008 - I have
found that the photo upload in the Alumni section is still not
functioning properly after the problems we encountered recently.
If you email your photos along with the captions you would like I
will post them until I can work out what is going on with the upload
routines.
01-03-2008 - SHS87.com suffered a major
system failure recently. I have corrected those now, however,
some data was lost or changed. Please go into your MYSHS
section and correct any issues that have occurred.
06-14-2008 - Well, I have found one
thing that I can't seem to correct. I moved the avatars for
the forums to the new system, but they did not associate to the user
name. I was able to manually add a couple that I knew who the
avatar belonged to, but the others I am not sure. So please
feel free to upload a new one!

August, 1983.....A
typical hot, humid day in Southwest Louisiana. Nearly 400 awkward,
nervous adolescents approached the conglomeration of buildings on
Sycamore St. in Sulphur with the odd combination of anxiety and
excitement, dread and hope. Questions swirled in our minds....what
would it be like? will I fit in? what if I get lost and miss my
class? will the food be as bad as it was at my old school?
Coming from "enemy"
schools--LeBlanc, Lewis and Maplewood--would these students build
lifelong friendships that crossed those barriers? Would they support
in times of crisis, console in times of turmoil, celebrate in times
of joy? The following years would be a test far greater than any
final exam or standardized scoring of "intelligence."
The Class of 1987 destroyed
those barriers of previous loyalties.
Only today in the dawning of
the new millennium can we truly appreciate how we--born into one of
the tumultuous periods of American history--had the unique
perspective to value the bonds that were first forming on that
August morning.
