Our
2008 reunion
committee at their leisure after-party
Once a year a dedicated committee works hard to put together
the Wildcat Reunion. This reunion is historically held mid-September at Sam's
Town Hotel and Casino. It was started by alumni Bill "Wildcat Morris (class of
1945) in 1978. 2008 was the 30th anniversary of the Wildcat Reunion. The
reunions were held in Morris' backyard until they became too large. It was then
held in various locations until Morris died in 1998.
In 2001, alumni Bill Boyd and other members of the class of 1949 started it up
again at the Stardust Hotel. It was moved to Sam's Town in 2002 and has been
held there annually ever since.
