2000
The Grand Reunion 2000 for the classes from 1961 to 1967 took place the weekend of July 28, 29, and 30th, 2000. Use the links above to browse some of the reunion photos.
Karen Irwin Fritts ('64) and Lyla Ralston Accardi ('64) deserve much thanks and praise for the reunion's success. Thank you so much Karen and Lyla.
Alumni, please use this link to fill out the WRHS Alum Questionnaire. Your data will then be added to the permanant database.
To make changes or updates to your current bio information there is no need to complete a second questionnaire, just send the updated information in a note to tedmitchell@prodigy.net
There are over 200 e-mail addresses in the database. If we don't have yours, please complete the WRHS Alum Questionnaire to ensure that your e-mail address is included. In addition to connecting us, e-mail addresses greatly reduce postage. As always, we are looking for lost alum. Your help in finding them is greatly appreciated.
WASHBURN RURAL HIGH SCHOOL
DIRECTORY OF STUDENTS AND STAFF
The above directories are listings of alum, teachers, and staff, who attended or worked at Washburn Rural High School at any time.
The purpose of these listings is to allow alum to locate and contact fellow alum. Appearance in these listings does NOT imply permission to add an alum's email address to distribution lists or mass mailings.
The alum data is being kept in a permanent database. We'd certainly appreciate your help in finding alum not yet located. You might try searching for missing alum at one of the following sites:
Finding the guys is the easiest as their last names have not changed. When using one of these sites all that's needed is an alum's name. You do not need to enter a city and state unless it's known.
When locating one of the gals, try using her maiden name to locate her parents or a brother. When you find an alum, please confirm the alum's contact information and then send that information to us ASAP!
Each browser (Netscape or Internet Explorer) has a Find capability. While within the directory, alum can be quickly located by clicking Edit from the browser's tool bar, clicking Find (on this page) then typing in characters from the alum's name and clicking Find next
We will galdly post information about all WRHS reunions.
ALUMNI ASSOCIATION ROOM
Please donate WRHS memoribilia to the ALUMNI ASSOCIATION ROOM
Alums, is there something you have stored away in your basement or attic (or maybe even still at your parent's home) that you'd like to donate to our new room? Old yearbooks, trophies, Blue Streaks, newspaper clippings, pictures, grade cards (!), band uniform, prom dress, etc., etc.
Send me an E-mail or contact me and let me know what you have and we'll send you a donation form to sign and return with the items.
