Happy Birthday to All Of Us!

Can you believe we’re 70?!

If you haven’t turned 70 already, you will be 70 sometime this year, so we thought a big birthday bash was in order! All members of the WHS Class of ’72 and their spouses/significant others are welcome.

WHEN: Thursday, September 5, 2024

WHERE: Red Cedar Lodge, Wanatee Park (formerly Squaw Creek Park)

TIME: 4PM – 10PM

BYOEverything! – This means we’ll have charcoal grills, and you bring whatever you want to grill and your drinks. Please also bring a side or dessert.

We will provide paper plates, utensils, cups, napkins and condiments.

Further updates/reminders will be posted on our webpage and our Facebook page.

“Bridge” Reunion 2025

We’ve received some information from Mark Meyocks, class of ’70 regarding a “Bridge Reunion” for 2025. We told him we’d be glad to post any announcements he has as the event comes together. Here is what he has sent so far:

Frank Wilson ’70 is the Chairman for their next reunion, which they hope to turn into a multi-class event, with the classes of ’68, ’69, ’70 ’71 and ’72. They have received very positive response so far.

The 2025 event is to be midweek, outdoors, simple food, and fireworks. Preliminary discussions have taken place with C.R. Kernals as a possible location. Advantages are parking, covered seating in case of bad weather, security and food service, fireworks capabilities. Concert Choir members to sing Loyalty Chant and Alma Mater, conducted by Chuck Ashford.

Enthusiasm is running high for this mega-event, so we will keep you posted with future announcements here and on our Facebook page. This is all we know at this time.

Should you choose to order a personal copy, that is up to you. I make no profit from it. It is NOT cheap. However, if you are interested, I suggest you wait for one of their regular deals - like "up to 50% off" and/or "unlimited free photo book pages." I would not pay full price. My personal preference is to order a matte finish photo cover (as opposed to glossy) and standard lay-flat pages. The pages will all lay flat when open. It costs more, so it's a choice. Also, I would not order the "deluxe lay-flat" pages as that paper is very thick.
