PrepMetro's Original Intent
This site was first conceived in the year 2000 with the
hope that Memphis High School Alumni would take advantage of a free service to
accommodate an extensive Web site for each of those high school alumni wishing
to participate. Alas!, after seven years the conclusion has been reached that
only those who attended South Side High School were willing. All other schools
had no interest other than a site for their particular Class. Apparently they
are anti-social as far as other Classes are concerned. This isn't the case with
the South Side Scrapper Alumni.
I have found that South Side Scrapper Alumni, and South
Memphians in general, are a very close-knit group of people. No matter what
Class, they care about and associate with their School-mates and South Memphis
friends. From the 1930's through the 1970's, they are avid participants in
their South Side Scrapper Alumni Web site.
I can only conclude that the circumstances that so
infuenced these Scrappers, only existed in South Memphis and didn't extend to
other parts of Memphis.
Perhaps in the future some other use can be found for
this site. But in the meantime you might be interested in those things posted

I regret to say that the original offer is no longer available due to other commitments. I am only one person and just don't have the time anymore.
