And Golden Scots luncheon ( where class of '74 will be honored and we will receive our 50 year pins) , will be Saturday September 14th!

Jay Padgitt

Jenny L. - I'm sorry, but that's impossible.  Please recheck your math.

Ellen Anderson (Logan)

Yeah Jenny - What Jay said!! 

Grace Glover

Well, I'm confused, mostly bc I am bad at math. Is the date of the luncheon incorrect and do we need to register for it separately from the reunion or is it part of the event? 

David Cunningham

David, thanks so much for setting up this website and all the work on the reunion. 

 

Jenny Liebes (Castellaw)

Hi Jay and Gracie, the Golden Scots reunion is separate from our class reunion, most classes usually do reunion the same weekend but apparently our class is not so they will be two separate events. If the HP alumnae foundation has your email address, you should get an invitation to The Golden Scots luncheon. It usually starts with a tour of the highschool around 10'am followed by lunch, then recognition of the class being honored for 50 years ! So nobodies math sucks😂

Jay Padgitt

Sorry to confuse, Gracie.  I was just teasing about "50 year reunion".  I'm too young to participate in a 50 year reunion and at first thought this was for my dad.

How did the system time get pushed to July?

Mike Umphress

Never mind.  I was reading the top as the most recent post.

Grace Glover

Thanks, everyone, for the clarification. I would love to have a  50 year, pin mostly to prove that I have made it this far. Not sure if the alumni association has my email address but I will check.

Janet Stetzel (Rodriguez)

Can someone please recommend some nice hotels close by - it's been decades since I have been in Dallas. Thank you!  Look forward to seeing you all.  Janet (Stetzel) Rodriguez

David Eisenlohr

First, it is great to know you are coming, Janet. There are many hotels from which to choose. Off the top of my head and trying to think of places close by the Park Cities, you have the DoubleTree at Central and Northwest HIghway, the Lumen on Hillcrest just north of Mockingbird, the Hilton Park Cites in Preston Center and the Beeman Hotel on North Central  a little bit north of Mockingbird. I'm sure there are more and I hope others chime in. 

Nancy Mauk (Perna)

There is also The Highland on Central and Mockingbird (old Hilton Inn)

Just a quick note to say "Howdy" to all and say I am sorry I won't be able to make it to the reunion. Many may not remember me, but I attended University Park 3-6 and HPJHS in 7th. Then, we moved to Wylie in the summer of 69. Have been back in touch with a few and trying to get back in touch with many others, thus, David was kind enough to allow me to be a part of this site (class of 74). 

I hope everyone is well. I still have so many great memories of those days. If anyone does remember me and wants to give me a shout, please feel free to do so here, on FB, or X.

Mark Tallichet

I want to thank those who kindly encouraged me to attend the 50th year reunion. However, I must decline. Best wishes to all.

Curtis “Chad”wick Downs

Mark, sorry you can't make it. Let's grab lunch afterwards and I'll catch you up. If Jan is up to it maybe El Fenix. 

Curtis “Chad”wick Downs

Martha Nichols, mom said I don't have to wear my retainer Friday night! 

Laura Rose (Bisone)

I hope everyone will enjoy being together for the 50th reunion and wish that I could be there to celebrate with you all. Chad and Pat, the podcasts have been wonderful and what a fantastic idea. Maybe they could  continue for a while. Look forward to seeing pictures! Sorry to miss this fun gathering but, too many family events have conflicted given my distance. Have a wonderful time and thank you to all who put so much time in putting this together!

Marc Miller

After reading over the events I have but one question: What exactly is acceptable dress for Friday night and Saturday night? Smart and dressy casual have numerous definitions. Some include "nice" jeans. Some include blazers. Some "outdoor casual" definitions do not include shorts. It's gonna be warm Friday evening. Maybe some pictures or diagrams? See y'all in some form of dress on Friday evening.

David Eisenlohr

Marc, hi!

You may be overthinking the dress code. "Come as you are" will be just fine and there are no uniform inspectoins. Wear clothes as casual as you want on Friday. It will be outside, warm if not hot, and shorts are perfect if you are so inclined. I probably won't wear shorts but that is just my personal prerence. Saturlday night is a step uo to "dressy" casual, meaning up a notch from Friday. I would suggest you not wear shorts, but instead kahki's or slacks with a collerd shirt, including sportshirts or polo shirts. No jacket required.  Think of Friday as picnic casual and Saturday as business casual.

Hope this helps in your packing and I look forward to seeing you this Friday!

David

Marc Miller

Thanks very much for the clarification! See you on Friday.

Hello, my dear friends and classmates! I tried my best, but unfortunately I won't be able to make it this weekend. Y'all have a great time and don't do anything I wouldn't do!

Hi Everyone, Sorry to miss the 50th.  Jay and I are still in Canada at our place in North Hatley QC.. The weather here has been so wonderful, we didnt want to leave.  I will miss seeing you all, but will see you at the 60th, fingers crossed.
