Whitewater High School – Class of 1965
Celebrating their 60th Class Reunion

The Whitewater High School Class of 1965 is celebrating its 60th reunion the weekend of July 11-13, 2025, in Whitewater. Classmates should have received information via email or US Mail.

Activities include a casual social gathering the afternoon of July 11 at the home of one of the classmates. A round of golf is planned for Saturday morning, July 12, at Willow Brook Golf Course in Whitewater. There will also be a casual buffet at Willow Brook Club House Saturday afternoon, July 12.

Informational letters, including a questionnaire, were mailed out in March. 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 cmpitterle@gmail.com (815) 988-4615, Judi Pizzichini (262) 473-4090, Jeff Winn (920} 723-0629 or Jim Holden (262) 215-7312.

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

The class instituted a scholarship, with contributions from the Class of 1965 members, which is granted to graduating WHS students, with the first distribution made in 1999. The scholarship is not applied for but is granted to a graduating senior who is continuing their education to a four-year or one/two-year technical school. The recipient of the scholarship need not be at the top of the class 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 anyone, either a 1965 classmate or anyone else, would like to make a contribution to this scholarship, please contact Jeff Winn, (920) 723-0629.
