50th Reunion - That's a Wrap!

For pictures, click on REUNION PHOTOS in the menu to the left.

The Northern High School Class of 1974 50-year reunion weekend celebration started with a Saturday evening dinner and dance at Croasdaile Country Club. It was a hoot seeing folks we hadn’t seen in 50 years, and good to reconnect with friends from an important phase of life. Our assistant principal Clarence Hill and his wife Pat, and teachers Sandy Wainio and Nancy Holland attended our events!

We had Sunday Brunch at the new NHS and toured the facility. In addition to the usual academic courses, they have terrific programs that produce grads with certifications in culinary arts, automotive, law enforcement, firefighting and animal science, just to name a few. Our tour was by Chef John, who is currently serving as President of the American Culinary Federation. He and the other two chefs, along with culinary students, prepared our brunch. It was yummy! For those of us who were band members, it was so cool to see the new music room. And of course, the rendition of our NHS alma mater by Maestro Jan Leathers Perry was very special. Touring the kitchen was fascinating. Proud of NHS - then and now! Go Blue & Gold! Go Knights & Ladies!
