Reunion NHS School Tour


This was the first event of the NHS 35th high school reunion weekend. We gathered in the parking let nearest the main office on Ryerson Ave. to meet our tour guide extraordinairre. We saw the old senior lounge (no smoking anymore...), the cafeteria, the science wing, gymnasium (where we gathered for this photo), F level, auditorium, and the renovated library. There are now lifts on all the staircases leading to and from each level (ADA accessibility). There were a number of our classmates and friends honored on the NHS Wall of Fame outside the auditorium: Mark Cummins, Mark Avondolio, Patty Gray Redline, and George Morville to name a few. My initial impression of our class when we first met is that we are a LOUD group. Seeing all those vaguely familiar faces and reconnecting with friends in a slightly smaller setting to begin the weekend was great. More installments of reunion weekend to come, but please comment on your impressions of the school tour here...

  2. Suffice it to say, way too many people in this photo to name in a list. But I will say that Ginny Salmon the teacher (in the front row between Rick House and Dawn Kampka) looks younger than all of us!

  5. We had an excellent party on Saturday night, but I hear that Mettler-Sabourin clan has some humdingers in Sussex County. I want me and Debbie on that invitation list for the future! Don't worry ... we always bring wine.
