50th Reunion Poll

It may seem a little early but the information will really help when the committee meets to plan, make reservations, etc. Please take the poll indicating your preference on time of year for our get together. 

 

Looks like we have found all of our classmates again. Since many can visit the Home page without logging on, it's possible we don't have your current information. It sure helps if everyone updates home and e-mail addresses. To those who check out the Home page but have not joined, you are still welcome to do so. 

 

 Hall of Fame Induction (see pictures below)

Newton High School State Champion wrestling coach Dave Winters was inducted to the Hall of Fame at the September 9 NHS football game. Several of our classmates were on the State Championship team in 1963. Click on link below for related story.

The Virtual Wall® Vietnam Veterans Memorial

A classmate sent the link below thinking it would be a good addition to this site. Hope you agree.  Check out the the casualties from very small towns (never heard of) in Kansas alone. Many of us knew someone who died in this conflict. www.VirtualWall.org
 

 

We still need assistance locating some of our classmates. "Missing Classmates"  lists  people  that have not joined our website.  "Missing Classmates 2" has different information.

 

We would like to see what you look like today. Some of you might not know how to post pictures. It's OK to ask your kids for help.  

If you have pictures of previous reunions or any event you'd like posted, e-mail them to us and we will find a place for them. 

Some of our classmates were not be able to come in October. This website is be the only reunion they can have. Keep encouraging people to join the site, post pictures and stories.
