WHITTIER HIGH SCHOOL CLASS OF 1949
60TH REUNION
we did it

and did we have fun


 

 

 

"The celebration of the 60th anniversary of our graduation from Whittier Union High School was a spectacular success.  Over ninety classmates gathered for lunch and reminiscing at the Ritz Gardens in Whittier October 17th.

 

Dick Owens, famed for his award winning dancing with his sister Joanne, took the floor with his wife Charlotte and danced to Glenn Miller’s “In The Mood.”  That took us back to Spotlight Revues of years ago.  Johnny Leffler and Cathie Brown held forth as M.C.’s introducing classmates and reading Dick Montague’s poem, and the poem that Shirley Garman and Anna Doone Hills wrote on the occasion of our graduation in 1949.

 

Cathie asked if any couples were in the room that had been married at the Sadie Hawkins Dance and Lydia (Corrales) and Larry Piatt claimed that honor.  Wayne Kopren was introduced as a member of the 1949 All CIF basketball team.  Jay Hern was introduced as the star of several Whittier High theater productions.  Nancy Nordstrom and Gerry Gartin who sang “Elmer’s Tune” in the award winning act in the Girls’ Hi Jinx could not be coaxed into performing but smiled through the introductions. 

 

The singing of the Alma Mater concluded the event.  The words will forever remain in our hearts: 

 

All Hail to You

Alma Mater true,

We are proud to fight

To Uphold the Red and White.

 

All Hail to You

Alma Mater true,

For our Whittier High

We’ll do or die,

And Always, Always love you Whittier High.
