NKCHS Class Social

Paul and Jacks in North Kansas City was the site of our 2024 Class of 1962 social get together.  30 people attended including some classmates from the class of 1961 and 1963.   The social was held in the “Hornets’ Nest” room, a room filed with memorabilia from the people, teams and events at North Kansas City High School.

The Taco Bar was excellent and everyone enjoyed the opportunity to visit with old classmates.  Everyone looked exactly like they did in their senior yearbook pictures.  You can verify that fact by looking at the “2024 Social” pictures under the links on the left side of our home page.

Class of 1962's 60th Anniversary Reunion

Our 60^th class reunion was held on Saturday, September 10^th at Cascone’s Restaurant.    We had 70+ people, including 42 classmates, in attendance. Good food, good venue and a chance to renew old friendships.    A big thanks to all those in attendance that made it a great celebration.

The slide show that was played during the reunion has been added to our website’s home page under the heading “60^th class reunion.”  Find it on the left side of the home page (yellow menu area).

As we collect photos taken during the reunion, we will add them to the “60^th class reunion” tab.
