Welcome to the Wichita High School North Class of 1971 web site!

 51st Reunion Update!

As previously announced, the WHSN Class of 1971 51st Reunion will take place on Thursday, Sept. 29^th, Friday, Sept. 30^th, and Saturday, Oct. 1^st, 2022.

Thursday night, September 29^th, 6:30 - 11:00pm

Prairie Hill Vineyard 

21421 W 37th ST N

Colwich, KS 67030

The first night of our reunion will be held at the Prairie Hill Vineyard at Stockemer Farm, a beautiful 20 acre property on a farm that has been in the same family for well over a century.  We’ll be outside at a large beautiful venue, so this would be a good night to bring any siblings, family, or friends that you’d like.

Admission: $15.00. Includes A BBQ Dinner from 6:30-8:30pm.

Cash Bar

Please register below by Monday, Sept. 5^th, for each person in your entourage who would like to eat.

Friday night, September 30^th, 5 - 7pm

The Atrium inside The Hotel at Old Town

830 E 1st St N, (First and Mosley)

Wichita, KS 67202

Admission: FREE!

Cash Bar

Friday night we’ll meet in the Atrium inside The Hotel at Old Town at 5pm where there will be a cash bar.  At 7pm we’ll move to another, as yet undetermined venue in Old Town, within walking distance.  There, we can eat, drink, hang out, point, and laugh.  Our preference would be to move the gathering outside, depending on the weather.  Stay tuned!

Saturday night, October 1^st, 7 - 12pm

Margaritas Cantina

3109 E Douglas Ave

Wichita, KS 67211

Admission:  FREE!

We’ll have the upstairs of Margaritas to ourselves, and people can order food and drinks if they’d like.  

Every reunion our goal is to provide opportunities for the largest number of you possible to attend and spend time mingling among and interacting with your former classmates.  As you can see, we’re only charging an admission fee of $15 for one night, Thursday, because we’re providing food and need a head count.  Otherwise, the cost of the reunion is up to you.  

Notes:

- Thursday night at the Prairie Hill Vineyard - Be sure to register by Monday, Sept. 5^th, for everyone in your party who plans to eat, and be sure to get there before dark to appreciate the surroundings.  (We cannot guarantee food for anyone who doesn’t pre-register.)

- Friday night we’ll meet at 5 at The Hotel and then move to Old Town at 7:00, hopefully outside.  Old Town won’t be hopping yet at 7:00, so we’ll likely have several choices weather we meet indoors, or out.  (See what I did there?)

- Saturday night we’ll be indoors, upstairs at Margaritas, just west of Hillside on the south side of Douglas.  The room is not huge, so we ask that if you intend to bring any family or friends to our reunion, plan to do so on Thursday or Friday, but not Saturday night. 

Registration:  Log in and then click on “51st Reunion” on the upper left.  That will take you to the registration page.  In addition to registering for Thursday night, our most excellent WebMistress, Carolyn Randall, has included a way for you to let us know how many of you are planning to attend the FREE Friday & Saturday night activities.  

On the registration page Carolyn has also included a place where you can make a donation so we can show our appreciation to Dan Stockemer of Prairie Hill Vineyard.  Dan’s generosity, to offer his venue to our class for Free two years in a row at a time of such uncertainty, when virtually no other vendors would consider talking to us a year ahead of the events, provided a base of stability to work from that would have been totally absent, otherwise. (Thank you Janet Fox Petersen.)  So,  while we took him up on his offer last year, that still doesn’t feel right, and considering that everything is more expensive now a year later, we’d like to help cover his expenses.  (Once we reach our goal we’ll use any $ leftover to cover our ~ $175.00/year website expenses.)

Also, while you’re here on our Home Page, please scroll down on the left and click on “Edit Contact Info”, and make sure it has your latest information in case we, or a classmate, wants to reach out to you.

We hope to see all of your there!  Really!

And, don’t forget the annual North High All School Alumni Reunion Weekend activities on Friday night and Saturday morning.

See Below for Details of The Hotel At Old Town room rate offer!

While looking into potential sites for our Saturday night event, Janet Fox discovered that Margaritas co-owner Johnathan Wood is the son of Phillip Wood. Phillip Wood was in our class for one year, as a senior, after moving to Wichita from Australia. His father was the minister at Central Christian Church.  Rumor has it Margaritas is remodeling its upstairs beginning in January.

Once again, The Hotel At Old Town has made a block of rooms available to us at a discount. I'm told that we are the 5^th class to request a block of rooms that weekend.
