*** It's late, folks... get your check to Mark by Tuesday. We need to give WGC the final head count on Wednesday so they can get their ordering done.***

During the Meet and Greet on Friday evening of the reunion weekend, several people asked about the jerseys (Newton North High School) that Tom Grieve and Paul Hartford were wearing. At the time NEWTON HIGH was not available. NOW IT IS !!
Paul contacted the alumni association folks responsible and asked if it were possible to get "NHS", rather than "NNHS" for those of us who graduated before the name change in 1973, and they have now added NHS.
Here is the URL for the website,
https://www.alumniclass.com/newtonnorth
when you click on the "School Apparel" tab, you will see a drop down box which lets you choose NNHS or NHS !! Everything they have is available for NHS.
