First news about the Class of 1957
50 Year Reunion
October 5 -6, 2007
Bill Dawson, chairman for the Class of
'57 50 Year Reunion, announced the dates
and location. The Reunion events will be held on the weekend
of October 5 - 6, 2007.
The traditional Saturday night dinner
will be held, October 6, at the Hilton
Garden Inn, in the Blue Valley business area, east of Independence.
It will feature a sit down dinner from the Hereford House, which is attached to the hotel.
(The Class of '55 held its 50th reunion dinner there and said the food
and service was great.)
An Ice Breaker get together is planned for
Friday, October 5. With a cash bar it will likely
start during the "Happy Hour" and run until ?. It will
be held in a different room within the hotel.
A group usually gets
together for a round of golf on Friday morning, October 4.
If that is done this year, join
in, it's great fun. More details when they are available.
The WCHS 2007 Homecoming football game
is scheduled for Friday night.
If you have photos of our school
days,
elementary, junior high or high school that would be
enjoyed by your classmates, let us know about them. They are
needed to be used as part
of a slide show presentation which will be seen on a big screen TV
throughout the evening(s).
Also, if you have some special school
days memories you'd like to share, they will be
put into a souvenir book and/or read to the gathering during the course
of the evening.
Additional Details Will Be
Forthcoming
If you are willing to help with the
reunion or have questions, contact Bill by emailing him.

First Planning Meeting
Class of '57 50 Year Reunion preliminary plans discussed.
A Special Reunion for a
Special Class!!!
Record numbers of tornados, golf ball sized
hail and a gully
washer couldn't stop an informal gathering at which
ideas were
discussed for the class of 1957's 50 year reunion, in
2007.
The possibility of
holding the reunion in the autumn in conjunction
with the WCHS Homecoming Weekend was discussed. That
would put it in late September or early October which,
hopefully,
would mean milder weather and less crowded traveling
conditions.
The
idea of holding two or more events was put forth. These,
along with the usual Homecoming activities would make
for a full
weekend giving ample opportunity to reunite with old
friends.
It
was also discussed to open the reunion to graduates
of other
WCHS classes, especially those from classes around
ours. The Friday
night Bear Town Mixer would be a natural, as that is one
thing we
shared with the classes ahead of us and those that came
after us.
A list
of possible events is posted here for your scrutiny and
input.

Class of '57 events
Remember...These
are only ideas that were discussed...not the final
plans.
If the reunion was held on Homecoming Weekend it
wouldn't be mandatory
to attend any of the events, any more than it is to
attend the reunion at all.
