This is the place were we are going to put all the announcements and Eagle Brag items. If any ole Eagle has anything they want to put on the bulletin board send it to us via Email or the Comments section of the Sign-In form and we will see that it gets posted. However, we are reserving the right to do a little editing on the item in case Lake Worth happens to be listening in (a local joke). For now we will let the item stay on the bulletin board for a week or two before cleaning it off.

Current School Happenings: Goal to get the number of students down that were not able to graduate. Last year, 2007, we started with 100 and ended up with 15. This year we are starting with 51 and hopes to work with them throughout the year to achieve a “0” number. TAKS reported we were a “Recognized” school by the state. New school adopters; Mercedes and Delmar. They have already provided several service functions and items such as Food the Friday before school started, helped with setting up the teachers rooms, first day of school passed out papers and helped guide students and parents. One of the focus points she requested was that they mentor young men of the school in Business etiquette, things like how to dress for an interview, write a resume, professional attitudes, etc. Frost Bank was helping with the economics and government classes with hands on banking and having student engagement. She mentioned it was mandatory for all seniors to write a research paper, present to a panel for interview and scholarship training.

Carter-Riverside are being recognized for the achievements of the students. She mentioned that 5 of the staff lived in the area, while she has hired 3 teachers this year that were former students. She was excited to see the students wanting to come back. She mentioned the bronze “Eagle” had been removed from the hallway due to it becoming disengaged from the stand and could fall off and be damaged. It would be returned after it was connected back properly. · Belinda announced the reason we had not had a newsletter this year was the problem with printing. We formally had access to free printing but since she changed jobs we lost the privilege.

She stated she thinks we may have one in the near future and a newsletter will be coming out if it proves true. · Reunion reports: 1959 scheduled for May 30, 2009 tentatively at Diamond Oaks Country Club; 1946-50 Multiyear scheduled for 18 October 2008, 1998 had theirs September 13, 2008 and 1978 had theirs in April 2008 at Texas Star Complex. · Announcements from floor: Patti Law mentioned that Riverside Park is included in the Trinity River Vision Plan and could be impacted; the community of ex students should be alert to a meeting scheduled sometime in early 2009.

Likes the Idea of a CHS Alumni Museum Harry Stoorza '67 says that he likes the idea of a museum. It could be school and community oriented. Surely there are building owners with space that could be used. Money will be needed and since he has spent his career raising money in the church. Would be happy to help form a non profit corp. and start working up a building program. If any others out there are motivated call him at, 832-366-0123.
High School Web Page Under Construction The high school is working on a web page for the students
and interested parties. If I'm not mistaken a young lady by the name
of Janice Baty is working on this project. Janice is a teacher at the
school, but not sure what she teaches. The link to the page is Don't forget that this page is under development so she has a long way to go yet, but I think she has done a real fine job. It will be nice to see a picture and bio sketch of all the teachers.

My kids are 6 and 8 and meeting new friends and this is about the time I met these folks so was wondering if any one had a status on them as I have been living abroad for the past 4 years. Many thanks, and hello to all my old classmates. If anyone has some knowledge on how
to get in touch with these folks, contact Gerda at

ALUMNI DUES ARE DUE If you haven't paid your dues yet, please click on Membership Form, print out the form, fill in the blanks and send it to the Carter Riverside Ex-Student's Assn at P.O. Box 7005, Fort Worth, TX 76111 with your check. Minimum dues are only $5.00 per person, but you can always donate more. It all goes to a good cause. There is a contest going to see who can sign up the most alumni, so in the "Referred By" blank put your class Agent's name. If you don't know who your class agent is, check the list of agents further down this page. If your class doesn't have an agent listed, go find one (or leave it blank :-)). Go take a look at the form and get it back to us as soon as possible. A word from Robert McKibben '56
concerning your dues money.......... "The
Association presently only has about 200 paid members. Since the new Principal
immediately stopped the messy Students from throwing their trash all over the
front of the school at lunch time and told them to eat in the cafeteria or
outside behind the building, the Booster Club is buying "outside tables and
benches. The Ex's Association voted to provide a wrought Iron Table for the cost
of $600. During the year, the Association provides things that the
Principal suggests for the betterment of the School and Students."

correct me and if it is not you two then maybe you will know whose

Food For Thought...While
Looking Thru The Annual Makes me sad. So many gone. Yet, so many did good, beyond any concept that I may of had. Lawyers, FBI agents, US Marshals, Soldiers, Preachers, Educators, Homemakers, Entrepreneurs, Doctors, Nurses, Ranchers, Actors, Architects, Engineers, Scientists, Bankers, Cowboys, Cowgirls, Builders. Aggies, tea sippers, Frogs, Red Raiders, Fightin' Irish, Sooners, Rams, Huskers, Eagles, Bears, Cougars, UTA Rebels, and many other colleges plus the Military. Yep, Carter Riverside should be Proud of the wonderful students that graced it's Halls since 1937 or 38 when it was allowed to "educate" the kids from "Riverside". I am Thankful that I was allowed the opportunity to attend the best high school in Fort Worth. Dang! It was a wonderful experience growin' up in Riverside.
