Does anyone have a map of these school years 1964, 1970, 1980 or 1990 to compare the changes and help find where the Time Capsule or Capsules are?

  My name is Tyler K. Waddell, I was a student in the class of 1966. I have been looking at the Maryvale Panther website for a few months now, and just found a request for any info on the "mysterious" time capsule. I have spoken to a few of my friends, Class of 1964/5, and we recall the time capsule being buried during the 1963/4 circa. To the best of our recall, the capsule was placed under or adjacent to the Flagpole. At that time, the Flagpole was located on the (59th Ave.) side of the main building and just North of the main entrance steps. This area between the sidewalk and building area was a grass lawn.

Looking at the 1963 map, I recall the Flagpole somewhere in front of Rooms 202 and 204, but my memory is fading. I would think that someone from the early Faculty or Student Consul might recall this information better than I. As for the content of the capsule, I don't recall the contents. This was a significant event at the time, and I am sure something was published in the Panthertracks paper or Yearbooks for 1964-66.

Hey I graduated in 1993 and my history class buried a time capsule out in front of the school. I know exactly where too!!!! It was suppose to be opened at our 20 year reunion I believe. Which as scary as it is to me is only 7 years away.

Well, I remember that we put a TV guide in it and we all wrote letters to the future generations. I still remember mine. I think it said be kind to your elders I will be one. HA. I think we included some other magazines so we could show the fashion of the time. Which what is really funny is everything we wore is coming back into style now.
I cant really draw a diagram I can take you to the approx. spot. Its buried out front by one of the two trees to the right of what I guess is the new cafeteria. At least that's what I think that is that they put in the front of the school that destroyed the beautiful front of the school. Maryvale looks like a fortress now.

It was my junior year that we put it together so it didn't include one of our graduation invitations. I wish it did as our invitations had a picture of the front of the old school.
I wish I could remember all that was in it and to be honest I have no idea who was in charge of it. I think I am the only one that remembers we did it. The instructor we had was Ms. Harkleroad. If I remember correctly it is buried behind the tree if your standing out in front of the school looking at the trees. I think it is the second tree but with the construction they may have removed the first tree and the second tree became the first tree. I hope this helps. I would love to be there when it is opened!!

I was a member of Maryvale Library staff for 10 plus years. I believe the time capsule is in the outer SW corner of the building housing the library. There may be information in the newspaper Panther Tracks about 1999. It does exist. Happy hunting!

As a Boy Scout (nerdy, I know), from 1972 through 1978, I remember burying a time capsule as a community project for Troop #3, Cartwright School. It seems to me that in about 1976 or 1977, we placed a time capsule in the vacant lots just east of the Football field. At that time, the open space between Maryvale and 55 Ave. was a little over a quarter of a mile. I believe this time capsule is now under the sports field of Maryvale. As I recall, we placed the capsule near the canal. Please let me know if there is any confirmation of this.


Thank you

One of the main locations that I have heard discussed about the location of the/a Time Capsule is under the cement or in one of the four big square planters that was located in front of the original Library, It is now called the “Pit”.

Subject: time capsule

I think that there is one buried underneath the new cafeteria on the west side of the school. I think that it was buried in 92 or 93. GCUCHICK @aol.com

I know that my brother's history class buried one, but I cannot remember if it was in 1992 or 1993.

Pass this along, please. In January at MHS, it was learned that a Time Capsule was buried in 1964. Maybe more were buried, other years. It's time for a celebration. Or at least a location of all the time capsules that were buried at Maryvale High School. HELP!!
