Ladies, put on your best dress and gentlemen your finest suit for the 1965 graduating class of Niles North, East and West’s’ 50th anniversary event.
The reunion will take place at the Viper Alley banquet hall in Lincolnshire on Oct. 3.
“We were the first graduating class that took some people from East and West and moved them to North,” Denise Notarius Schrager, who sits on the reunion committee, said. “Our class from 1965 was the first class [at North].”
The history between the three classes goes back to 1964 when Niles North High School was first founded. Before North opened its doors, students were split between East and West.
This isn’t the first year the three schools have combined, however, according to Ronnis Oher, who also sits on the reunion committee. East and North used to only have their reunions together; West was recently added a couple years ago in an attempt to grow the celebration.
This year’s reunion starts at 7 p.m. and will feature a buffet dinner, cash bar, a DJ, dance floor.
