Getting Started
If this is your first time using this site, please take a few minutes and start a profile by going to the Classmate Profile on the left column. Start off by finding your name and then start your profile and include an email and choose a password. For future communications, we hope you will fill out all information and periodically update your information throughout the year(s) as necessary.
Once Registration Opens:
After creating your profile and when REGISTRATION officially opens for a future Reunion, your next step is to REGISTER for the REUNION by going into the Reunion Registration area in the yellow column on the left. An email will be sent out to all those who have opened an account on this site, letting you know you can now register for a future Reunion. These two steps MUST be done to be officially registered for the reunion.
To Be Announced. There will be multiple options on how to submit your payment for any future Reunions. Payment options can be chosen when you Register.
We are always hoping to raise additional funds for future reunions and to receive some sponsorships to help reduce the costs to classmates.
If you are not a 1974 Soquel High Classmate and/or your name is not included, please contact one of the administrators of the site listed under contact us.

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 cannot be seen by classmates. Each classmate has the ability to limit the visibility of his or her profile 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, but also note your profile will be fully indexable by major search engines.
Emails may be shared within this site using 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.Please note that if you do not want your name and picture on this site it may be removed by contacting Penny Alvarez. This will end all communications to you from the Soquel High School Class of 1974, unless you ask that special arrangements be made.
In order to REGISTER for the CLASS REUNION and move around on this site, you must set up a profile by providing a MINIMUM of your EMAIL address, and a PASSWORD.
To set up your profile: locate the "Classmate Profiles" link and locate your name and click on it. Follow the prompts to create your profile.
Private information like your email address, home address, and phone numbers will not be visible to fellow classmates unless you allow permission in the site. 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, and a "Then" photo. Classmates will enjoy seeing how you've changed!
If your name is not already on the site, but you were part of the Soquel High School Class of 1974, contact Penny Stinson (pennymariestinson@gmail.com) or at (831) 334-7229 and your name will be added.
Updates: If you change your email 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 and will receive all updated information about the reunion!
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 set-up your account, contact Penny Alvarez. This could take a while so please be patient.
The wonderful part about this site is that it came pre-setup by Class Creator. I 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".
Also, please note: We need your help to contact EVERY classmate. If you have information about any classmate, listed or not listed, please contact Penny Alvarez, pennymariestinson@gmail.com
To contact a fellow classmate, you may 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! :)
