1989 Release of Disney's The Little Mermaid.
The Little Mermaid was first released to theaters on November 17, 1989. Only a few days before Thanksgiving by Walt Disney Enterprises. We graduated from CCHS in late May, 1989, about 6 months before the film was first shown. But what show it was.
1986 - Freshmen at Central Cambria
We were freshmen at Central Cambria in 1986. So were the California Raisins. When their career was launched in 1986 it was thought they would be a one hit wonder. That one song catapulted them into stardom, more records and big screen and little screen productions. Their claymation [Will Vinton] made them one of the most popular TV commercial spots for the next four years. Remember? Here's their story in 3 - 10 minute videos.

help...
We want to add some more specific class notes... What was the theme for the Senior Prom? How about the year before? How about the musical theater productions for 1986 87 88 89? Which members of your class were involved? Where did the Senior Class go for a trip? Who were your class advisers? Teachers you remember in 9th through 12th grades? And why? Special events during those four years? New things around Ebensburg before, during and after 1986-89? What has changed? What has stayed exactly the same? Information like this about your favorite classmates. Class information. Senior Class Officers, Oracle staff and Editor. Most Likely to... Scan a few pics from the Oracle. Stories, anecdotes, favorite memories, maybe Kennywood Days or Idlewild? I'm sure Dina knows lots of stuff if I can get her to stop long enough to tell me... Since I'm from Blairsville I don't know most of the fun stuff and funny stuff about CCHS, so you have to fill in the blanks. Send the information to Dina AND me and we'll post it to these webpages. Thank You.
