Class of 1974 | 50th Reunion
Class of ‘74 Reunion
The FHS Class of ’74 Reunion Planning Committee is very excited to invite you to our 50th Reunion this September 27th and 28th! We have finalized plans for three main events, including a golf scramble at Clovernook Country Club, a casual Kickoff event at HighGrain Brewing, and the Main Event at Clovernook Country Club.
Another event that we have planned is a tour of the Finneytown Secondary Campus (Junior and Senior High School). The campus is about to undergo a major renovation and this tour will showcase the future plans. Buildings will likely be under demolition at the time of the tour.
We hope you can join us for many of the fun activities we have planned for this monumental weekend. If the costs for these events would make a difference between you attending or not, please contact Anne Wirtz Keen @ siestakeen@aol.com for alternative arrangements.
