YES, this Reunion is The Big One; 50 years since we graduated from HPHS.

Traditionally at this time the HPHS Alumni Association honors us Saturday Noon at the Golden Scots Luncheon.

We, your Committee, are very excited about the plans we have made for all of us to reconnect and remember our school years. We hope that each of you will make your plans right away to celebrate with your classmates. It’s OUR TIME again….Don’t miss it!

Can you believe it? Yes, it’s nearly here.…Or shall we say, we’re nearly there: Almost FIFTY YEARS ago, we graduated from high school full of plans for college, families of our own, perhaps hopes to fulfill the directive posted above the entrance to our high school building:

Now fifty years later we all have stories to tell about places we’ve been, the lives we’ve made since we ventured out into the world from the Swinging 60’s. Some of us will be thrilled to share our experiences. Maybe a few of us have endured the “slings and arrows of outrageous fortune” and may need a sympathetic ear. Whatever your story we, your Committee, believe all of us will find kindred spirits.

Very soon we all will have an opportunity to meet with others who began our adventures from a theoretically similar vantage point, graduation from Highland Park High School. Your 50th Reunion Committee has assembled an exciting weekend celebrating our past and our present times in September, 2012.

The Friday gathering will be a cocktail party at the SkyClub on the rooftop of the Mayfair building on Lee Parkway, just across from Arlington Hall. There you will be astounded by phenomenal 360-degree views of today’s Dallas skyline while greeting each other, for maybe the first time in fifty years.

On Saturday, according to HP tradition, our class will be honored by the HP Alumni Association at a luncheon welcoming our class of fifty-year graduates into the Golden Scots organization. From reports of past 50-year graduates, this occasion is a rousing good time and not to be missed.

Saturday evening we celebrate with our fifty-year Class Party, which is being held at one of three possible locations, all of which offer glamorous settings, and one of these could be a real elegant surprise venue.

Our ability to set definite plans for our big weekend is contingent upon two important factors. One issue is tied to the exact date of the Golden Scots luncheon which is always held in September but not on a homecoming weekend because homecoming uses the high school cafeteria and this is where the luncheon will be held. The date for homecoming will not be set until February, 2012, so we can’t pick our weekend until we have that. We do know that our expected date will be either Saturday, September 15th or the 22nd.

The second issue is: How many of us will be here to celebrate? Your Committee is doing its best to locate each one of you and get good contact information. We would like to have a current email address for everyone in order that we might disseminate upcoming information as quickly and inexpensively as possible. For those who don’t have or want to use email, we are happy to honor that, but we need your current mailing address. Most important, we would like to hear from you regarding your availability in September, 2012. Will you be able to come and be with us? Are you planning to come----or not? Since the Saturday date will be either/or September 15th or 22nd, can you Save The Date for that part of the month until we can give you the exact date in February?

Please take this time to think about your upcoming Reunion. Look at your calendar and save that period of September, 2012, for reconnecting with long-time friends. Even if you aren’t sure about your plans, you can let us know that. If you’re ‘on the fence’, that’s OK! You can change your mind! Hey, we’ve earned that right, haven’t we?!
