MHS CLASS OF 1973 - 50TH REUNION

TRAVEL ALERT FOR 50TH REUNION

If you are planning on flying into Manhattan for the 50th Reunion, you will need to check on alternative airports as the Manhattan Regional Airport will be closed from mid May 2023 to August of 2023 for runway repairs. Kansas City, Wichita and Salina are options.

SNEAK PEAK - REUNION T-SHIRTS

A BIG thank you to Sue Downing Jacobs for arranging for us a 50th Reunion T-Shirt. We're even more fortunate to have our classmate Dana Denyer Settle and husband Ted's company, Sportswear Graphics Inc., design and make available for purchase online, prior to the reunion. More details regarding colors, sizes and pricing will be coming soon! So keep checking back!!!

HIGH SCHOOL MEMORABILIA

Time to start looking through those closets, garages and boxes to find your high school keepsakes. Then don't forget to pack them and bring them with you to the reunion for display. Photos, scrapbooks, clothing (gym, pepclub, Mentors, etc.)

IN MEMORIAM

Over the past 50 years, we've lost so many of our classmates; 51 out of a graduating class of 391. Each name is a link to their obituary. We will honor their memory at our reunion. If there is someone that has passed that we do not have on the list, please comment below or send the name to 73mhs50threunion@gmail.com. Thank you.

REUNION VENUES

Venues for the 50th have been selected and they prove to be something different and fun.

The Midwest Dream Car Collection will host the class on Friday night the 26th. Stroll through the complete classic car exhibit and reminisce with your classmates. Enjoy tunes from our era with a live DJ setting the mood! Photo ops galore!

On Saturday night, the Sunset Zoo (it's not the zoo you remember from our high school days) provides the backdrop for an evening of fun and socializing. This venue has gone through a complete renovation with new exhibits and a wonderful gathering place for our dinner.

More information about the weekend activities will be coming soon. Registration will begin January 2023. Hotel reservations are now available at Hilton Garden Inn our reunion hotel. Check out our blog archives for hotel information.

You won't want to miss this one!
