Does anyone remember the actual date of our graduation? Please, if you do, let me know. I'm an Astrologer and I'm trying to draw up horoscopes for the date we entered as freshmen and our graduation date, and the date of our 50th reunion--Just for some fun stuff.
Thanks, Suzanne Duffy-Kane

Does anyone know about the whereabouts of Joyce Powell, or when you may have last been in touch with her? She did not graduate with us, but she was a member of our class. Please respond to me at my e-mail: msuzyduffy@mindspring.com

I didn't get a decent tape recorder until 1961, so all of the recordings I have of the OPRFHS orchestra and acapella choirs, were made in the 60's.

The Moving Finger writes, and having writ, Moves on:
nor all your Piety nor Wit, Shall lure it back
to cancel half a Line. Nor all your Tears wash out a Word of it.
- The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam
But if thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought.
All issues are political issues, and politics itself is a mass of lies, evasions, folly, hatred and schizophrenia.
Political language - and with variations this is true of all political parties, from
Conservatives, [ Republicans, Democrats, Socialists, Zionists, Fascists] to Anarchists - is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.
- Politics and the English Language (1946) by George Orwell

WOW What a wonderful time. It was great seeing all and a big thanks again to the GREAT reunion committee.
Sue Duffy, our graduation was June 11, 1959 In the High School Field House. Some of us did have a discussion about this as they thought it was outside.
We now have more good memories so please keep in touch. Penny Horsky Russell

Can't beleive there is only one response so far. People must still be recovering from the reunion party. Had a great time seeing everyone.. I know we tried to sing the Bears fight song, but it did not help as they got killed by Cincinatti the next day. I thought someone would have suggested trying to sing the Oak Park High fight song. Anyway thanks to all the people who agreed to help the commitee organize this fabulous incredible reunion. Next get together we will sing the OPRF fight song.

Well, it’s time to express my thanks to all of those reunion committee members that were willing to dedicate so much of their time to make this 50th reunion such a great success.
The web site is nothing short of fantastic, and I am very happy to hear that it will be preserved for a number of years to come. I know that we will all make heavy use of it to keep in contact with our friends. I hope that everyone takes the time to keep their personal data up to date.
The Friday and Saturday dinners were great. The food, of course, was “scrumshous”, but it was the deep pleasure at renewing old friendships that, I’m sure, was the highlight for all.
Truthfully, I wondered whether grads other than old Hawthorne people would even remember me. So, it was, indeed, a heart warming shot to the old ego to have so many persons approach me with genuine handshakes, hugs and big smiles. I am very glad that I attended and am looking forward to future get-togethers. Too bad that a full contingent could not have been there to enjoy it all.

I'm having so much fun looking at all the pictures of the 50th reunion.
I wish I'd been able to make it. The Reunion Committee went over and above this time, although all the others have been so well done, too.
The website is incredible!!
What a wonderful thing to see so many of my former classmates in long time marriages. Especially compared to nowadays.
Keep those pictures coming!

I've posted some more pictures of the Whittier School classmates--thanks to Ann McMillan and Bob Sorensen sending them to me today.
What a great reunion. I loved seeing everyone!!! Now I can hardly wait until 5 more years.

Hi I finally got Friday nights photos dups taken off and names put on to some of the pics. Hopefully I got the right names. So check out my profile and recall the good times. Dale took all the pics as he walked around,and didn't know who he was taking. Niles you must have been following him or moving around as much as he was. You are very photogenic. It was a great time.
I will be getting Sat. nights up soon and hope to get names with them now that I know how to do it. (I know it's really pretty easy but when your not computer savy strange things can happen.) Sorry it's taken awhile but it has been a busy 2 weeks. Penny

Here's a great website that doesn't cost a cent, but with the holidays coming and the recent tragedy at Ft. Hood, I think our troops would really appreciate getting these cards and messages.

To the Reunion Committee:
Excellent job on the Reunion Booklet. The class picture is better in there than the one we got in the mail. Thanks for all your hard work.

Retirement is so great as it leaves some time to take a voyage on occasion to explore the internet and locate interesting places.
One that I've found to be of some interest in conjunction with going back in time to our roots in DOOP is a place on Facebook. If you are on Facebook go to the top of the page and type in "Growing up in Oak Park". You'll discover considerable dialog there from many DOOPers discussing interesting aspects of this theme. There are also many pictures there dating back to the 50's. Give it a try. BH
