Welcome
Wasn't the high school building we spent our first years of high school in immeasurably better than the new maximum
security version that we were forced to move to for our senior year? Remember how we could leave for lunch and take a short
walk for ice cream and pizza. The classroom windows on the ground floor were large enough to walk right out of. Sure we had a
pathetic gym, no parking, and study halls where in the cafe, but ohh the good old days...
SHS 1982 Beautification Fund, Inc.
The
SHS 1982 Beautification Fund, Inc. is at again! For those
of you who are new to this web site, the SHS 1982 Beautification
Fund, Inc. is a non-profit corporation comprised of graduates
from the Stoneham High School Class of 1982. We organized as
a 501(c)3 charity to give back to the community where we grew
up by completing an annual beautification project.
 In
2003, we planted 12 flowering crab apple trees in the island
areas at the high school. In 2004, we planted a Permanent Holiday
Tree in the Common, in 2005 we did a complete facelift on the
front of the Stoneham Middle School in 2006, we purchased and
installed 30 full-size whiskey barrels in the Stoneham Square
area on Main Street, from Montvale Ave. to the Library. Our
plan is to keep these barrels planted with beautiful flowers
and winter greenery through 2011. We will be planting again
this Spring, so please join us - it's alot of fun!
We are also almost finished with our 2008 beautification project
- resurrecting the Traffic Box in Stoneham Square! We felt that
it was such a unique landmark that it needed to be brought back.
Please see our architect's rendering to give you an idea of
how we envisioned the new Traffic Box.

Class of '82 Who's Who
Jamie Manning's New Album
SHS class of '82 graduate Jamie Manning has put out an album of songs for the autism community. What Remains tells stories of parents raising children with autism. Learn more.
The album What Remains chronicles the lives of parents raising children with autism. It was written to raise awareness of the chronic emotional and financial stress that accompanies an autism diagnosis, and to rally support for increased health insurance coverage for autism,
enforceable special education laws, and national standards of care and certification for autism professionals.
Lost Classmates
We are still on the hunt for a few lost classmates! If you know the whereabouts of a classmate who
appears on our Missing
classmates list, please add any information that you can
to the lost
classmates information form.
Vinnie Minichiello suggested that classmates could create short biographies of their lives since graduation for those who are
interested in catching up with what's been going on in each others lives. We are posting them on this web site
hyper linked to the classmates name in the found classmates list. If you send a short Bio as an attachment to an
email addressed to: biography@shsclassof82.org we will be sure to post it.
