Mar 3, 2015 | Committee Notes, Highline High School 40-Year Reunion
Yesterday evening, March 1, 2015, your friendly, dedicated Reunion Committee got together for some potluck sustenance and hard work on the 40-Year Reunion planning. We all met at Maureen’s house and gobbled down some food. Then we stickered and stamped the “Save the Date” post cards, prepping them to go in the mail.
We’re using the same artwork that classmate Maureen Hoffmann designed 10 years ago for the 30-Year Reunion, reminiscent of the iconic artwork of artist, Peter Max.
(In order to save our precious few funds, we’re only sending out post cards to those classmates for whom we have no email address. We’re trying to do as much as possible through online communications to save money on printing and mailing costs. So make sure we have your email address!)
Mark Meyer, Cathy Hutchison Bellah, Conn McQuinn (HHS Class of ’74), Betsy Wildish McQuinn and Phil Isernio gather ’round the bevy of potluck dishes, fueling themselves for the “hard work” of stickering the post cards.
Arden Gremmert, Eva Doherty Gremmert, Betsy Wildish McQuinn and Mark Meyer chat and laugh as they put address labels and stamps on the post cards. “Uga-chacka” (Hooked on a Feeling) is playing in the background, by special request of Betsy. It’s “her” song.
Neil Ball, Laurie Lee Ball and Phil Isernio are quiet and concentrating on the task at hand.
“Blank” post cards can be customized by whatever label we decide to stick onto them. We can use these forever.
After eating lots of good food and applying lots of good stamps, we discussed some of the myriad details required to make the reunion happen.
Being involved with the Reunion Committee activities is lots of fun and there’s always something to do. If you’d like to get involved, send us an email. We meet once a month or so and divvy up the to-do list.

Some of our classmates have parted way too soon and we want to honor and remember them here. We have an “In Memoriam” section on this web site. Please take a look, think of old friends, and let us know if we’ve overlooked anyone.

What gets saved? Apparently, the program from our Commencement Exercises on June 11, 1975 has been tucked away, safe-and-sound, in Maureen’s basement box of miscellaneous memorabilia. Take a little walk down memory lane. (Click on the images to enlarge them.)
Feb 17, 2015 | Highline High School 40-Year Reunion, Reunion Notes
Ahoy Pirates.
40 years ago, Saturday Night Live aired their first show, Jaws was making an impact at the theaters and over 400 students from Highline High School walked down the aisle at Highline Community College to receive their diploma from Ken Teller. We thought we were so smart then. If only we knew then what we know now, we would all be in big trouble!
Take a moment to dig out your old Pirate’s Logs from our high school years and leaf through the pages. You will probably see notes from friends wishing you good luck and promises to keep in touch. Reality has probably gotten in the way of good intentions and you haven’t seen them in years. Why not use the 40-Year Reunion as the chance you have been looking for to rekindle the old friendships. We’ve all changed and if the last reunion was any indication, we’ve turned into a rather diverse group of individuals. Come and see what we’ve all been doing for 40 years.
You’re gonna wanna be there!

Arrr! Ahoy Mates.
Reunion committee here and we’re looking for a few good shipmates. Know any? We are looking for classmates who attended Highline and would have graduated in ’75, but for one reason or other, didn’t walk down the aisle with us. They are all invited to the 40-Year Reunion coming up in August. If you can find them, send them here to our www.highlineclassof75.com website to get more information and to register. They’re gonna wanna be there!
