Whitewater High School

Class of 1965

55 + 2 Reunion

The Whitewater High School class of 1965 will be celebrating their 55+2 year class reunion this summer on June 24-25, 2022, after being cancelled twice due to Covid. Events include an informal gathering Friday evening, June 24, at the home of Jeff Winn. A strictly fun golf outing on Saturday, June 25, at the Willow Brook Golf Course in Whitewater. Cocktails and buffet Saturday, June 25, evening at the 841 Brewhouse Restaurant in Whitewater. It is hoped that as many classmates as possible will be able to attend one or all of these scheduled events .

Informational letters, including a questionnaire, were mailed out in February. However, if classmates have misplaced their information, haven’t received their letter, or should their plans have changed and are able to attend, they are asked to contact one of the committee members for information or to make RSVPs: Chris Thompson Pitterle (815) 988-4615, Judi Pizzichini (262) 473-4090, or Jeff Winn (920) 723-0629. Carole Hepfinger Lewis, Linda Kollwelter Schubert and Jim Holden are committee members as well.

The WHS Class of 1965 had 152 students, plus one foreign exchange student, Prasith Sithivong, from Laos. We also had one student, Emily Saunders, who was our AFS exchange student to Japan for one year, and left for Japan in March 1964.

Our class instituted a scholarship, with contributions from the Class of 1965 members, for graduating WHS students with the first distribution made in 1999. The scholarship is not applied for by students, but is granted to a graduating senior who is continuing their education to a four-year or a one/two-year technical school. The recipient of the scholarship need not be at the top academically, but must demonstrate the qualities of good citizenship, school spirit and work ethic. The Faculty Scholarship Committee (WHS) selects the graduating senior for this scholarship. If any classmates, or anyone else, would like to make a contribution to this scholarship, please contact Jeff Winn.
