The Unofficial Website
of the
New Rochelle High School Class of 1964
The Class of 1964 was a
large class of 775 individuals (celebrations of the end of
World War II). As the first class of Baby Boomer's, our numbers
vaulted the school system into double sessions, overlapping
sessions and a building frenzy. From the day we entered kindergarten
in 1951 we were the "duck
and cover" kids and Polio Pioneers in grade school.
Our numbers included every imaginable background and
ethnicity; we were born with Silver Spoons, Steel Spoons,
Wooden Spoons, and no Spoons. We were part of the destruction
of segregation in our school systems and suffered pain
as adult Americans on Nov 22, 1963. In June of 1964,
diplomas in hand, we moved on.
The purpose of this Website is to enable us to reconnect,
celebrate the fact that most of us have endured, and to share
the thoughts and memories of those classmates whose
journeys were shorter than ours. To those that are gone we
dedicate this Website. |

New Rochelle, we sing
to thee,
Alma Mater dear.
Cherished will our mem’ries
be,
of
the hours spent here.
We love to gaze across the lake,
to
the Tower proudly
high.
A symbol of the lives you make,
the
goals for
which we try.
