Time to be Together Again! - WCCHS Homecoming 2024
September 30, 2023 we celebrated our 60 year reunion followed by the February 2024 Winter Luncheon. Now we're talking about the October 18, FroshSoph and Varsity Football Homecoming. Mark the date then join classmates at the games. Some of us will include time for lunch/dinner. D94 Alumni Homecoming information will be added as needed in the coming weeks.
It was Great to be Together Again!
Our 10th Annual Winter Event was held at Pal Joey's in Batavia on Super Bowl Saturday. We've been holding this event since before our 50 year reunion in 2013. While we missed the last two winter luncheons due to COVID, it was great to be together under one roof again. 15 of us enjoyed pizza, pasta, salad and conversation.
After lunch, Tom Overton lead a brief discussion about plans for a possible summer celebration of this, our 60th year since HS graduation.
Thanks to Tom Aitken, Barbara Alm Mazzochi, Ron & Wayne Anderson-Bauer, Don & Diane Miller Evans, Stanley Korona, Dick Mann, Bill & Kay Nolan, Tom & Sandy Overton, Reid Simmons, Carol Wells Huck & Larry for an enjoyable afternoon. Also, thanks to Richard Smith who stopped by for the pre-lunch conversion but was not able to stay for the meal.

57 Year Virtual Reunion - Small but Successful!
To celebrate our 57th year since we all gathered in the Bishop gym to receive our diplomas, a few of us meet on Zoom for about an hour and a half. As is typical in any social event, someone came a little early and some stayed a little late. All-in-all, the room was occupied for about 2 and a half hours. As you can see from the slideshow above, we all enjoyed the afternoon.
We agreed to do this again in the near future so check back here regularly for details.

The summer after our 50 year reunion, Tom and Sandy Overton hosted our first summer event. They reserved a club house near their DeKalb home and provided the meat for the main course. It was a warm day, so most of us stayed in the air-conditioned building while Tom took charge of the cooking in a nice industrial style kitchen. All participants were asked to being a dish to pass as well as their beverage of choice.
