Time to register .. Time to register .. Time to register ..

Do You Remember When?

Everyone has memories of our days at Highland Park High School. We have fond memories that never really leave us. That is what reunions are all about, and this is your opportunity to share some of those memories with the rest of us. You can help create a nostalgic display of high school memorabilia for our Saturday night event. If you would like to participate, we ask for the following.

  • Select favorite items that mean something special to you.
  • Limit the number of items you bring to two or three of your favorite artifacts that others will enjoy. They might be letter jackets, choir and theater programs, girls’ physical education uniforms, photographs, copies of the Bagpipe, the Tartan, and other publications, and so on.
  • Keep the items of a reasonable size to fit on the display table. No tubas or cellos, please.
  • Remember to take your items with you at the end of the party.

Please bring the items you want to include to Susan Bell Bullock’s home at 5555 W University, just over the tollway bridge, by September 27th. Before dropping off your treasures, please call or text Susan at 214.906.6473 to be sure we aren’t duplicating the artifacts of our shared memories.


TickTock, TickTock, the Clock is Running Down  

The 50-year reunion of the HP Class of ’74 celebration will kick off at 6:00 pm on Friday, October 4th with more activities on October 5th. That’s less than a month until the reunion begins and less than three weeks until the registration of classmates and guests will close. The final day for registration is September 26th and the pace of new registrants is accelerating. It is important that we have a good headcount to provide to our hosts and vendors, therefore no walk-ins will be allowed unless sufficient seating, food, and drinks are available. In that instance, the walk-in fee will be $200. We DO NOT want to turn away anyone so please register no later than September 26th. We are excited to see you all!


Donate Now!
A great reunion is one where everyone has the opportunity to attend and where no classmate feels the need to stay home due to financial limitations. Please consider a donation to help with reunion expenses and support our classmates in need of assistance. You can make a donation at the time you register or click the DONATE NOW button above. 
 
You can see a list of those who have already made a gift by clicking the Donor Recognition link above. Donors contributing at the $150 level or above will be invited to a VIP reception at the George W Bush Presidential Center immediately prior to the Saturday evening dinner. Any remaining funds will be donated to the Highland Park Education Foundation.  

Register Before Time Runs Out!

First, to those of you who have already registered for the upcoming class reunion, there is no need for you to read and further. Congratulations and thanks for your early registration!

For those of you planning to come but have not yet registered through the HPScots74.com website, you are rapidly running out of time. To provide a reliable headcount for our vendors, we must close registrations a week in advance of our events. Therefore, on September 26th, a little less than a month from now, we will close access to new registrants. Because of space limitations, particularly at Café 43 in the Bush Center, last minute admission will be subject to available space. For these reasons, the at-the-door on-site fee will increase from $175 to $200.

We hope that all classmates who can attend, will. Be sure to sign up by midnight on September 26th. We are excited to see all of you very soon.

Go Scots!
Go Class of ‘74
