To solve the telephone number/address problem, I created a fake student for each year, named “Site Address”. The email address for this student is homerhigh@gci.net, and the password is mariners. So if you log in using this email and password, you can see telephone numbers and street addresses. Unfortunately, you must log in separately for each year you want to see this detailed information. Sooooo, for general cruising around, just log in as a New User. When you are on a year where you want to see more detailed information, click on Home Page, and log in with the fake ID.
