Welcome
to the Official Website of
Stephen F. Austin High School
Class of 1959
Reflect, Rejoice, Renew
Though it's been 52 years since we graduated from S.F.A., we are still going strong and have been able to stay connected through the efforts of several classmates who have worked to gather our class together for the 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45 and 50 year anniversaries of our high school graduation year.
So here it is 2012 and so many things have changed. We can now contact each other by using the Internet, sending e-mails, sharing pictures, videos, and music, and so we've created our Class website.
Here you will find the most complete database of everything from S.F.A. Class of 1959, free of charge to you. You will find plenty of memories and a great way for you to see what's become of everyone. This is our permanent Class of '59 website, so come back often and update your information as it changes.
This website is dedicated to our classmates for the purpose of promoting, celebrating, and reconnecting with all members of Stephen F. Austin Class of 1959. The more you participate, the better it will be. Check back often! We have a class reunion here every day!
Hail Bryan High School, hats off to you. Ever you'll find us, loyal and true. Firm and undaunted ever we'll be. Hail to the Green and White, here's a toast to thee!
To athletes and scholars, graduates and profs, seniors and juniors, freshman and sophs. Stephen F. Austin, always you'll be, dear to the ones you hear, sing a toast to thee.

Bryan Broncos Fight Songs
Oh, when those Bryan Broncos fall in line
We're gonna win that game another time
And for the BHS we love so well
And for the football team, we'll yell and yell and yell,
We're gonna fight, fight, fight for every score
And then we'll circle in and win somemore,
We're gonna roll old Temple in the mud, in the mud
Mud, Mud, Mud.
(To the tune of the Washington and Lee Swing)

A January month
Can have snow and ice
But a January birthday
Can be twice as nice.
Cuddle up light the fire
Have a cozy day.
And even though it's cold outside
Warm wishes come your way!
I was feeling a little nosey, so I thought I would look in on you
and see if you're sitting at your computer and if you're OK.
Yup, there you are and you look great!

That's America To Me
"The House I Live In"
What is America to me?
A name, a map, or a flag I see;
A certain word, democracy.
What is America to me?
The house I live in,
A plot of earth, a street,
The grocer and the butcher,
Or the people that I meet;
The children in the playground,
The faces that I see,
All races and religions,
That's America to me.
The place I work in, The worker by my side,
The little town or city
Where my people lived and died.
The howdy and the handshake,
The air and feeling free,
And the right to speak my mind out,
That's America to me.
The things I see about me,
The big things and the small,
The little corner newsstand,
And the house a mile tall;
The wedding and the churchyard,
The laughter and the tears,
And the dream that's been a growing
For more than two hundred years.
The words of old Abe Lincoln,
Of Jefferson and Paine,
Of Washington and Jackson
And the tasks that still remain;
The little bridge at Concord,
Where Freedom's fight began,
Our Gettysburg and Midway
And the story of Bataan.
The house I live in,
The goodness everywhere,
A land of wealth and beauty,
With enough for all to share;
A house that we call Freedom,
A home of Liberty,
And it belongs to fighting people
That's America to me.

Prayer Concerns Link. If you have any prayer concerns for yourself,
family, or friends, please click on the Prayer Concerns Link to post them.
These can also be requests for unspoken prayers. Also if you have praises,
they can be posted here.
If you'll notice on the Classmates Profiles page, many of our classmates
do not have "gold stars" by their names anymore. Remember peer pressure?
When the teacher would post names on the wall and place gold stars by the
names of overachievers?? Go check out that page to see if you still have a gold star
by your name. If you don't, that means you haven't updated your profile in SIX,
count them 1-2-3-4-5-6 months. Now get busy and update those profiles before you
begin receiving harassing e-mails.
Pictures!! Do you have a box of old school pictures tucked away somewhere?
Pull them out and share them. A friend once said to me, "What good are photos
if you can't share them?" We need YOUR photos, updates, and memories to enhance
this site and to make certain it represents ALLof the members from the S.F.A. class of1959.
Even if you haven't attended a reunion, nor kept in touch at all since graduation, we ask
that you please take the time to send us an update and maybe even a photo or two.
We're certain your fellow classmates would love hearing from you! You may even reconnect
with an old friend! Your submissions will make this site fun, interesting and complete.
So, add your own personal touch and see what happens!"
If you have any you would like to share, add them to your profile or e-mail them to me. Don't forget to list the names of everyone in the pictures.
It's funny how friends can
come in and out of your life so quickly,
yet leave footprints and memories
in your heart forever.

May each day in the week be a good day
May the Lord always watch over you
And may all of your hopes turn to wishes
And may all of your wishes come true
May each day in the month be a good day
May you make friends with each one you meet
And may all of your daydreams be mem'ries
And may all of your mem'ries be sweet
The weeks turn to months and the months into years
There'll be sadness and joy, there'll be laughter and tears
But the one thing I pray to heaven above
May each of your days be a day full of love
May each day in the year be a good day
May each dawn find you happy and gay
And may all of your days be as lovely
As the one you shared with me today
May each day of your life be a good day
And good night.
John 24:27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you.
I Do not give to you as the world gives.
Do not let your hearts be troubled
And do not be afraid.
