Class of 1974

2022 Reunion Picnic

Photos contributed by Stephen (Steve) Bensing

On Saturday, September 17th, the WTHS Class of 1974 held an informal gathering of classmates and friends at Bowen Park as a way to maintain interest in future class reunions. While most of the attendees were from the local Waukegan area or within a day's driving distance of Waukegan, it was important to those who attended to reconnect and keep the momentum going for the Class of 1974's 50th Class Reunion in 2024!

Many thanks to classmate Steve Bensing for taking a group photo of those who attended our class picnic. 

There are still many classmates from the WTHS Class of 1974 that we do not have contact information for. Please reach out to your friends from our class and encourage them to create/update their profile on our class website. It truly takes ALL of us to reach out to classmates whom we have not heard from in a long time!
