Essays & Memoirs
To paraphrase Kurt Vonnegut, a
fatherly sage and mentor to our generation, "Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly,
is a way to make your soul grow. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio.
Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. And you will
get the enormous reward of having created something."
Everett High School's class of 1967
represents 578 unique, individual stories about growing up in Everett,
childhood
in the 1950s and 1960s, and attending Everett schools, both public and
private. Having gone our
separate ways after graduation, most of us have never enjoyed the chance to share
those experiences. The purpose of this page is to help provide that
opportunity now.
Whether you're a published or aspiring author, or
haven't written anything since high school, we want to hear your stories.
This isn't a writing contest, and there are no grades--we promise. If you
need editorial help, there are many among us who will gladly and
confidentially help polish your piece before it's posted on this website.
We look forward to hearing from you, and reading your unique stories
about our school days in Everett, and the years afterward--wherever they
have led you. Tell us not only about the good, but the bad and
the ugly, too.
