[edit] Wrong picture
Tallyman, I understand you are trying to help, but obviously you have never been to Palo Alto High School. The school is South and East of the picture you showed. Just plugging in addrsses which you are not familiar with into USGS map services can be a dangerous thing. The picture you put up is of the Town and Country shopping area next to the high school. Unless you are more familiar with the area, which you have obviously never been to, it may be best to leave it alone. Wodan 03:15, May 2, 2005 (UTC)
- If you disagree with the framing of the aerial photograph, please upload a better one. Tallyman 22:47, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
- I would like to see a more representative picture of the school, perhaps one of Campanile, (the tower building) at the top of the page, rather than just a billboard. If I get around to it, I'll take one. Dshaffer 01:20, 9 May 2005 (UTC)
- The aerial photo is also not very current. Some of the buildings shown have since been destroyed, and the fields have been redone. A new swimming pool is currently under construction. It may not be a major issue, but is probably one to be considered. Dshaffer 07:54, 11 May 2005 (UTC)
- Meh, I'll go to school tomorrow with my camera and take a few pictures to put up here? You guys want scans of the publications too?
[edit] More Info
If anyone is interested in updating the history section of the site, the official website has great info at http://paly.net/info/history.php. Dshaffer 06:12 13 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Campanile
There is no way that the Campanile can claim to be "the most famous and recognized" of all the Paly publications when the Voice has a monthly readership of around 40,000 and has won an INTERNATIONAL award for excellence.
- I have to agree. The Paly Voice reaches a much larger audience. From Jan 1, '06 to Oct 12, '06, the site received about 8 million hits, with an average of 38,000 unique visitors per month. It is doubtful that Campy was quite that popular.
[edit] Alumni
I looked, but didn't find verification that Jerry Garcia attended Paly. Verification is also needed for Whitfield Crane and Money B. Maybe they all did go to Paly - I don't know... I suspect that they might have been *assumed* to have gone to Paly because of their various connections to Palo Alto, i.e., born there, family lived there at some point, etc. When I was going to Jordan and Paly in the 80's, I heard a few times that Steve Perry and Gregg Rolie of Journey had gone to Paly in the 70's; in the early 90's I worked with someone who had gone to Cubberly with them. Anyway, the point is, we should check. Anyone have access to old Paly yearbooks? -- JustDerek 02:41 GMT, 09 June 2006
- Garcia went to Balboa High School.

I graduated in 2002. This never happened. Where do you kids come up with this stuff?
[edit] Alumni
Wusu is no longer on the Raiders roster. What happened with that? I hear he was injured in preseason and was cut from the team. Does anyone know if this is true? 76.171.210.232 00:10, 14 November 2006 (UTC)Akshat Rajvaidya Class of 2004
