Update: 7/19/07 No new images today, but I discovered that the 1977-78 Cambia signing party images are actually from the 1976-77 school year. Take a look at the overall-design yearbooks in the photos. If you notice any other 1976-77 photos in the 1977-78 section, please let me know. |

Update: 6/24/07 I added an image rotator with fun facts to the Oak Park message board. Check it out and let me know if you have any suggestions for other items to add. Thanks to Peggy Kinder (Hancock) for identifying the 1975-76 images in this latest group: New additions for June 24, 2007 (1965-66, 1966-67, 1967-68, 1968-69, 1972-73, 1973-74, 1975-76, 1976-77, 1979-80 school years) |
Update: 6/17/07 I was looking for a negative of Jim Draper from 1969-70 for the Dan Kahler DVD, and I found an envelope of 1976-77 negatives in the 1969-70 box. These are the only negatives I have found from the 1976-77 school year. New additions for June 17, 2007 (1976-77 school year) |
Update: 6/16/07 New additions for June 16, 2007 (1975-76, 1979-80, 1996-97 school years) |

Update: 6/3/07 New additions for June 3, 2007 (1999-00, 2005-06, 2006-07 school years) (the 2006 and 2007 images are not part of the Cambia collection of negatives; they are digital images provided by Christina Geabhart) |
Update: 5/29/07 I'm still working on the Oak Park history DVD. I have finished part one, and will be getting started on part two soon. You can view an excerpt from part one on the new video page. New additions for May 29, 2007 (1977-78, 1979-80, 1980-81 school years) |
Update: 5/28/07 New additions for May 28, 2007 (1966-67, 1967-68, 1973-74, 1977-78, 1996-97 school years) |
Update: 5/27/07 New additions for May 27, 2007 (1977-78, 1996-97 school years) |
Update: 5/26/07 Someone requested 2001-02 homecoming images, so I scanned all that I had on file. However, a page of unlabeled 2000-01 homecoming negatives was in the '02 negative binder. You can see homecoming images from both years on the latest update page: New additions for May 26, 2007 (2000-01, 2001-02 school years) |
Update: 5/20/07 New additions for May 20, 2007 (1977-78 school year) |
Update: 5/19/07 New additions for May 19, 2007 (1977-78 school year) |
Update: 5/13/07 New additions for May 13, 2007 (1973-74, 1974-75, 1975-76, 1977-78 school years) |
Update: 5/6/07 New additions for May 6, 2007 (1974-75 school year) |
Update: 5/5/07 New additions for May 5, 2007 (1974-75 school year) |
Update: 4/30/07 Some of the images that appear on this latest update page are actually older images that have been renamed to better fit the evolving organization of the site. I've been scanning certain images that Dan Kahler mentions in his DVD history of Oak Park to incorporate them into the movie. Check back for updates on this two-disc DVD set. New additions for April 30, 2007 (1965-66, 1966-67, 1967-68, 1968-69, 1973-74, 1974-75 school years) |
Update: 4/29/07 New additions for April 29, 2007 (1965-66, 1967-68, 1968-69 school years) |
Update: 4/22/07 As I have been organizing the older negatives, I have discovered more images that I had identified incorrectly. Some of these corrected images appear in the latest group, and others will be corrected at a later date. If you browse through the update pages, you'll find some images that are missing because of this. Thanks to those of you who have helped identify the images. New additions for April 22, 2007 (1965-66, 1966-67, 1967-68, 1968-69, 1969-70, 1970-71, 1973-74 school years) |
Update: 4/15/07 New additions for April 15, 2007 (1966-67, 1967-68, 1968-69, 1969-70, 1973-74 school years) |
Update: 4/14/07 New additions for April 14, 2007 (1965-66, 1966-67, 1967-68, 1968-69, 1969-70, 1973-74, 1977-78, 1984-85, 1996-1997 school years) |
Update: 4/8/07 New additions for April 8, 2007 (1965-66, 1966-67, 1967-68, 1968-69, 1969-70, 1970-1971, 1996-1997 school years) |
Update: 4/7/07 New additions for April 7, 2007 (1965-66, 1966-67, 1967-68, 1968-69, 1973-74 school years) |
Update: 4/6/07 Because of disk space limitations with my markmurtha.com account at Domain Direct, I have moved the Oak Park Image Archive site to a new hosting service. The new domain name is OakParkHistory.com. I have copied all of the site content to the new domain, and will redirect op.markmurtha.com traffic to the new site. Several classes are planning reunions this summer, so be sure to check the Oak Park Message Board and the Oak Park class information pages for the latest information. New additions for April 6, 2007 (1966-67, 1967-68, 1968-1969, 1973-74, 1984-85 school years) |
Update: 4/1/07 New additions for April 1, 2007 (1965-66, 1966-67, 1967-68, 1968-69, 1996-97 school years) |
Update: 3/31/07 If you're browsing through some of the old update pages, you may find that some of the images are missing. As I scan more images, I sometimes find that I have identified the school year of an image incorrectly. At that point, I rename the file and change the numbering of the sequence as necessary. I'm still working on the 4" x 5" film right now, and it appears to be mostly from the 1965-66 through 1970-71 school years. New additions for March 31, 2007 (1965-66, 1966-67, 1967-68, 1968-69, 1969-70, 1970-71 school years) |
Update: 3/25/07 I've been scanning a lot of the larger format negatives from the sixties. It's amazing how much better the quality of these negatives is compared to the newer 35mm negatives. I've also been trying to scan some negatives for the classes that are having reunions this summer. It seems that none of the group shot negatives for the 1996-97 school year are in the collection. There are quite a few "mugs" from that year that I have been scanning. I still haven't been able to find a single negative from the 1976-77 school year. New additions for March 25, 2007 (1965-66, 1966-67, 1967-68, 1968-69, 1969-70, 1996-97 school years) |
Update: 3/20/07 New additions for March 20, 2007 (1967-68, 1968-69, 1970-71, 1973-74, 1978-79, 1996-97 school years) |
Update: 3/19/07 New additions for March 19, 2007 (1965-66, 1966-67, 1967-68, 1968-69, 1970-71, 1973-74, 1974-75, 1978-79, 1996-97 school years) |
Update: 3/18/07 New additions for March 18, 2007 (1967-68, 1968-69, 1969-70, 1971-72, 1974-75, 1979-80, 1980-81, 1983-84, 1996-97 school years) |
Update: 3/15/07 Christina Geabhart sent me a small collection of digital images from the 2004-2005 school year for the Oak Park alumni pages. I also have 80+ unidentified images. A few of them are on the "Mystery Page." I'm looking for a 1966 yearbook with its pages intact. If you have one you could part with for a short time, send me an e-mail. New additions for March 15, 2007 (1965-66 and 2004-2005 school years) |
Update: 3/14/07 New additions for March 14, 2007 (1966-67, 1967-68, 1969-70, 1970-71, 1973-74 school years) |
Update: 3/12/07 New additions for March 12, 2007 (1973-74, 1974-75, 1979-80, 1981-82, 1982-83 school years) |
Update: 3/11/07 As the collection has grown, the original approach of displaying all images on one page has become impractical. I have changed the image pages so they show a drop-down list of image groups. Select an image group to display all images in that group. This should make it easier for everyone to enjoy the pictures without waiting an inordinate amount of time for them to load. You'll also find a link to the Oak Park alumni information page at the top of each class page.

Update: 3/9/07 New additions for March 9, 2007 (1995-96 school year) |
Update: 3/6/07 I've scanned a few newer negatives for the Oak Park alumni information pages. I'll be adding more of the newer images in the future, but my current focus is on the older negatives. New additions for March 6, 2007 (1977-78, 1979-80, 1982-83, 1984-85, 1999-00, 2000-01, 2001-02, 2002-03 school years) |
Update: 2/26/07 New additions for February 26, 2007 (1973-74, 1979-80, 1983-84, 1984-85 school years) |
Update: 2/25/07 New additions for February 25, 2007 (1973-74, 1982-83, 1984-85 school years) |

Update: 2/17/07 New additions for February 17, 2007 (1973-74, 1978-79, 1981-82, 1982-83, 1984-85 school years) I also put a few new images on the "mystery page." Send me an e-mail if you can identify the school year of any of the photos. |
Update: 2/16/07 New additions for February 16, 2007 (1981-82, 1982-83, 1984-85 school years) |
Update: 2/14/07 I regenerated all of the image pages, and added the image group descriptor above each group of images (similar to the thumbnail pages). This should make it easier to identify the images on each page. |
Update: 2/13/07 New additions for February 13, 2007 (1980-81, 1981-1982, 1982-83 school years) |
Update: 2/11/07 New additions for February 11, 2007 (1979-80, 1980-81, 1981-82, 1982-83, 1984-85 school years) |
Update: 2/10/07 New additions for February 10, 2007 (1979-80, 1981-82, 1984-85 school years) Another milestone today: there are now over 4000 images in the collection! |
Update: 1/31/07 New additions for January 31, 2007 (1979-80, 1981-82, and 1984-85 school years) |
Update: 1/28/07 New additions for January 28, 2007 (1973-74, 1977-78, 1979-80, 1981-82, 1982-83, and 1984-85 school years) |
Update: 1/22/07 New additions for January 22, 2007 (1984-85 school year) |
Update: 1/21/07 New additions for January 21, 2007 (1979-80, 1980-81, and 1984-85 school years) I was finally able to identify some negatives from the 1984-1985 school year among the unlabeled negatives. I'll be posting more from that school year soon. |
Update: 1/19/07 New additions for January 19, 2007 (1979-80 school year) |
Update: 1/18/07 Check out the audio excerpts from D.K.'s collection. |
Update: 1/14/07 New additions for January 14, 2007 (1965-66, 1966-67, 1967-68, 1968-69, and 1979-80 school years) I made some changes to the thumbnail page that should make it easier to sort through the images. Each group of images now has a header which shows the file name prefix. Only the 1979-1980 and 1990-1991 school years have thumbnail pages at this point. |
Update: 1/13/07 New additions for January 13, 2007 (1979-80 school year) |
Update: 1/12/07 New additions for January 12, 2007 (1979-80 school year) |
Update: 12/26/06 New additions for December 26, 2006 (1990-91 school year) I switched the default view of the 1990-1991 school year page to thumbnails because of the large number of images on the page. You can click the link near the top of the thumbnail page to switch back to the large image view. |
Update: 12/22/06 New additions for December 22, 2006 (1990-91 school year) |
Update: 12/21/06 New additions for December 21, 2006 (1990-91 school year) |
Update: 12/15/06 New additions for December 15, 2006 (1990-91 school year) I scanned the 3000th Oak Park image today! There are now 3008 images in the collection. |
Update: 12/14/06 New additions for December 14, 2006 (1986-87 and 1990-91 school years) |
Update: 12/13/06 New additions for December 13, 2006 (1990-91 school year) |

Update: 11/30/06 New additions for November 30, 2006 (1987-88 school year) |
Update: 11/28/06 New additions for November 28, 2006 (1981-82 school year) All I have been able to find from this school year is a few color negatives from homecoming week. Here they are! By the way, the band that is playing at the homecoming dance is "Secrets*." Here's a link to some info on that band: http://kansasmusicalartist.com/secrets.html |
Update: 11/25/06 New additions for November 25, 2006 (1966-67, 1968-69, 1970-71, 1971-72, 1973-74, 1977-78, and 1980-81 school years) |
Update: 11/24/06 New additions for November 24, 2006 (1965-66 and 1992-93 school years) |
Update: 11/20/06 New additions for November 20, 2006 (1965-66, 1969-70, and 1992-93 school years) |
Update: 11/18/06 New additions for November 18, 2006 (1989-90 school year) |
Update: 11/17/06 New additions for November 17, 2006 (1988-89 and 1989-90 school years) I also made a thumbnail page prototype for the 1988-89 school year. Click a thumbnail to open the larger image version in a new window. Let me know if you prefer this format to the full-size image page format. |
Update: 11/16/06 New additions for November 16, 2006 (1988-89 school year) Do you have trouble loading any of the image pages? Some of the pages have over 100 images on them, and it may take a long time to load those pages if you don't have a broadband internet connection. If you would prefer a thumbnail image format with links to the larger versions of the images, let me know. |
Update: 11/15/06 New additions for November 15, 2006 (1988-89 school year) |
Update: 11/14/06 New additions for November 14, 2006 (1988-89 school year) |
Update: 11/13/06 Since Classmates.com recently changed their policy to not allow "free" members to post messages, I created a free message board for OP grads. Check it out at http://oakparkgrads.proboards55.com/ |
Update: 11/12/06 New additions for November 12, 2006 (1980-81 school year) I also posted pages for the 1966-67 and 1968-69 school years. These were among the first scans I did, but I didn't know the school year of some until recently. At the top of each picture page you can now find links to the top 100 songs of each school year. I have also moved the update history to a separate page to reduce the amount of scrolling on this page. |
Update: 11/11/06 New additions for November 11, 2006 (1975-76 school year) |
Update: 11/5/06 New additions for November 5, 2006 (1975-76 school year) |
Update: 11/3/06 I found a group of 1975-76 negatives stacked together in a box of unsorted negatives, so we can now begin the 1975-76 collection. New additions for November 3, 2006 (1972-73 and 1975-76 school years) |
Update: 10/30/06 A few days ago I received an e-mail from Bill Hankins, the former Cambia, Log, and Timberline advisor. He told me that some negatives had been thrown away years ago due to water damage caused by a leaky roof. Although the collection may be incomplete now, my immediate goal is to compile a good selection of images from 1965-1986 so I can finish the DVD video history of the Dan Kahler years at Oak Park. In this video Dr. Kahler recounts the history of the school from its beginning in 1965 to his retirement in 1986. I'll have images from the various school years interspersed in the video. This DVD will eventually be available at the school. At that time I will also make CDs of the full-resolution images for the school to use and/or distribute as they see fit. If you are a regular visitor to this site, you may have noticed that the more recent school years have been getting more attention lately than the earlier school years. This is mostly due to the inconvenience of scanning the medium and large-format negatives that were widely used in the early OP years. 35mm film became the standard in later years, and is much easier for me to scan with the equipment I have. I'll get more of the older images on the site soon. Keep your requests coming in, and check back for updates often! |
Update: 10/29/06 New additions for October 29, 2006 (1994-95 and 1997-98 school years) |
Update: 10/28/06 New additions for October 28, 2006 (1983-84 school year) |

Update: 9/18/06 New additions for September 18, 2006 (1986-87 school year) |
Update: 9/17/06 The Cambia negatives for the 1985-86 and 1995-96 school years were just found when cleaning out a science closet at Oak Park. New additions for September 17, 2006 (1985-86 school year). |
Update: 9/11/06 New additions for September 11, 2006 (1974-75 and 1982-83 school years). |

Update: 8/27/06 New additions for August 27, 2006 (1965-66 and 1977-78 school years). |
Update: 8/9/06 New additions for August 9, 2006 (1982-83 school year only). |
Update: 8/7/06 I will be creating a new page for each new group of pictures that I upload. This will allow you to see just the new additions without loading the entire image page for each school year. The new additions will also be added to each school year page. Here are the latest images from August 7, 2006. |
Update: 7/29/06 I have uploaded all images that are scanned to date. At this point, I am organizing all negatives by school year, and attempting to identify negatives that are unsorted. Christina Geabhart (OP journalism teacher) has graciously loaned me many Oak Park yearbooks to help with the identification process. Thanks to those of you who have helped identify images. It appears that I have a good selection of organized negatives from school years 1965-1966 through 2002-2003, with the following exceptions: 1966-67 (probably on hand, but not labeled) 1968-69 (probably on hand, but not labeled) 1975-76 1976-77 1978-79 (a few slides from that school year have been identified and scanned) 1981-82 1983-84 1984-85 1985-86 1988-89 1996-97 More images from these school years will probably be found as I continue to sort through boxes of unlabeled negatives. I will be scanning and posting more images soon! |
