This site was created to connect and re-connect with our classmates (even those who will not be attending the reunions). Our next goal is to make this site a scrapbook of memories for all classmates and their families. Our site is private so only our classmates can access your information!

Everything you need to know about setting up a profile and gaining access to the rest of our pages is in this instruction guide. If you have questions, please contact us (currently Michael Doyle).

 

All contact information (address, phone number, e-mail address) that you enter into this website will be kept confidential. The host of this web site, ClassCreator.com, is a locally owned business. They understand the importance of your privacy. Your personal information will never be sold to other sites. It will not be shared or distributed.

Your contact information is private. Your street address, e-mail address, and phone number(s) cannot be seen by classmates.

Classmates can limit the visibility of other profile information (occupation, city of residence, etc.) to only fellow classmates by clicking on the appropriate answer in the Profile Visibility section during profile setup. If you do not opt for privacy on this line, your profile can be viewed by non-members such as your friends or family. If you do not opt for privacy, your profile also will be fully indexable by major search engines.

Test your privacy options:

• If you are signed on to the site and restricted your profile to only fellow classmates and then use a search engine such as Google to see if the privacy options above are working, it will appear they are NOT. This is only because you are signed into the site. Sign out and check again. You will see that none of your profile information is viewable by non-members.

 

Emails can be shared within this site.  Use the contact option at the top of each classmate's profile page (just look under the classmate's main photo in the upper left). This way you will be able to contact classmates without sharing your private email address, unless you choose to do so.

All class email news sent from us to you via this web site. For those of you with spam blocking or email filtering capabilities, please add noreply@classcreator.net to your email account as a safe sender in order to ensure you receive email communications from us.

Please note that if you do not want your name and picture on this site, it may be removed. Just  contact us here. This will end all communications to you from the Battle Creek Central High School Class of 1965, unless you ask that special arrangements be made.

 

To access the pages that are password protected on this site, you must set up a profile by providing a minimum of your email address and a password. An email address is required!

To set up your profile: click on the "Classmate Profiles" link; locate your name and click on it. Follow the prompts to create your profile.

Private information such as your email address, home address, and phone numbers will not be visible to fellow classmates. We collect mailing addresses in the event that we need to contact you by snail mail or phone. Your information will never be given to other classmates without your permission.

We encourage you to add a current picture to your profile as a master photo. This photo will be displayed in various areas around the site. It's also helpful to upload an additional "Now" photo. We will try to have a "Then" photo loaded with a picture from the Paean yearbook. Classmates will enjoy seeing how you've changed!

If your name is not already on the site, but you were part of the Battle Creek Central High School Class of 1965, contact us and your name will be added.

Updates: If you change your email address, snail mail address, or phone number, please update your Contact Info so we have up-to-date information. That way you'll always be in the know about what your classmates are up to!

Passwords:

Choosing a password: Passwords do not need to be the high-security style recommended for some sites. Choose something simple that you are certain you will remember. Clicking the "Remember Me" will allow you to bypass entering the password each time you visit, but eventually the "remember me" will fail (for instance when you get a new computer). Please make note of your password!

If you forget your password, simply click on "forgot password." If you have several email accounts, and you don't remember the one you used to setup your account, just contact us. This could take a while so please be patient.

 

The wonderful part about this site is that it came pre-setup by Class Creator. We just had to enter names. The site assembles a missing list for us, based solely on the names of people who don't have profiles; so until you have a profile, the site will consider you "missing". We have this list of classmates available and it can be displayed by clicking on "Non-registered Classmates."

Also, please note: We need your help to contact EVERY classmate. If you have information about any classmate, listed or not listed, please contact us.

 

To contact a fellow classmate, simply use the email option at the top left of each Classmate's Profile page (located under Master Photo). This feature will allow open communication between Classmates, while protecting your personal information. If you wish to share your email address or other personal information within a message written on our site, the site will not block you from doing so.

 

Adding current pictures is not a requirement to participate on the site, but it certainly is a nice way to get to know people again. We've had reports of classmates who were routinely running into each other without knowing it, because...well... we've all changed a little over the years! :)

Shortly after you create your profile, we will add your Yearbook photo to your profile for you from the yearbook photo collection we have. If your photo wasn't in the 1965 Paean, we'll try 1964. If not in 1964, we'll try 1963.

Filling in the photo slots at the top of your Profile:

• Click "Edit Profile" under MEMBER FUNCTIONS.
• Roll your cursor over the Master Photo, Then, Now, or Yearbook photo silhouette (note you cannot upload a yearbook photo if one has already been provided).
• Click "Select Photo" displayed in the upper right corner of photo, then click the "Upload a New Photo" button.
• Select the desired photo from your hard drive. You then will be given an opportunity to crop the photo for a perfect fit.

Adding large "Profile Gallery Images" to your Profile:

• Click "Edit Profile" under MEMBER FUNCTIONS.
• Click the photo tab in the upper right corner of your Profile.
• You will see any images previously uploaded here. Click the "Upload a New Photo" button to add more.
• Click to select images you wish to display on your Profile. All images with a green check mark will display. Click again to not display, and the green check mark will disappear.
• To add a caption under your images, roll over any image and select "Edit Details." Enter your caption and press "Save."
• You can adjust the display order of your photos by simply dragging and dropping them into the positions of your choosing.
