The North High Class of ‘69’ reunion committee continues to meet, dotting out the “i’s” and crossing the “t’s” as they plan out the details of the reunion.
The reunion will be held October 4th, 5th, and 6th. The Friday night event will be held at the Brass Taproom, 614 S. Tyler Road. Saturday’s event will be held at the Drury Plaza Hotel Broadview, 400 West Douglas Avenue. The Broadview will also be the reunion’s hotel and “headquarters.” Sunday morning breakfast/brunch will be held at the Broadview. Planning for this event continues and as details are nailed down look for further announcements.
Details for these activities to be planned. As these become finalized, announcements will be made. Keep an eye out for them!
And, as stated in an earlier announcement, you will be able to participate in one of the activities being planned. A “Class of 69” video will be created for the reunion and the reunion committee is asking for all of us to help build this by making contributions to its content and creation!
How can you contribute? First, if you have photos from past reunions the committee would ask that you share them. Second, by digging through all those old photographs (news clippings, film, etc.) back from the day the committee is asking for you to contribute this content from our years at North High, from 1967 through 1969. Now we know this may require quite a bit of digging and detective work for sure. The contributions do not have to be only about the “school year” but may represent summer activities, summer jobs, things that happened and were recorded (with never a thought they would resurface fifty plus years later) during our high school years.
The committee also has the following request on contributions for the video:
- Need any snapshots or photos to be “digitized” in preferred JPEG format, others will work but that would be preferred.
- On the chance film/videos might be contributed, these too would need to be “digitized” and in the following formats - MP4 (preferred) or MOV or PDF
The reunion committee is asking for any media contributions to be sent by July 15th. Contributions can be sent to our Class Creator website administrators:
Bruce Andrews: BruceAA127@gmail.com
Julie (Fox) Hall: JulieFox5169Hall@gmail.com
And one last note. Registration for the Reunion in October is planned to be open around mid-April. Watch for this notice and we hope as many of our classmates can plan to attend as much as possible.
Best Regards,
North High - Class of 1969 Reunion Committee

Greetings North High Graduates of 1969,
As mentioned in earlier announcements a 55th reunion is now being planned. Mark your calendars for the first week of October 2024, Friday October 4, and Saturday October 5! These are the initial dates selected for the 55th Reunion. While this will be a sole class reunion for our class, the dates will coincide with a North High “All Class” Reunion to also be held the first week of October 2024. As the reunion committee continues the planning for the reunion more announcements will be made.
As a reminder, if you know of fellow 69’ers that have not signed up for our class website on Class Creator, encourage them to do so. It is free and a great way to stay updated on not just the planned 55th Reunion, but also on the happenings to our fellow classmates of 1969.
We are also adding a link that explains how the new mascot for North High, the RedHawks, was created. There has been a lot of discussion, over the past year, by North High graduates – some good, some bad, lots of angst expressed – for many of us we will always be “Redskins”. However, the link is to a video that explains how the “RedHawk” mascot came into being and its long-term significance to North High. It is an interesting and uplifting video. Please view it if you have not had a chance, cut and paste this link into your browser if it does not open automatically.
