55th Reunion

Event Details

The PHS class of 1968 requests your presence at your 55th class reunion on September 30th..

We've planned a weekend with multiple opportunities to gather, renew old friendships and make new friends out of old acquaintances.  We hope you will attend as many events as your schedule allows. Refresh your memories of past reunions at the Reunion Photos link on the home page,  This 55th Reunion page will be updated as more information and details are finalized.  

Hotel Accommodations:  Staybridge Suites Indianapolis Airport 6295 Cambridge Way Plainfield, IN  46168 remembers us from 2018.  Yep, I couldn't believe it either.  Jennifer Smith, Director of Sales, has reserved a block of suites for you.  All size suites are available.  Call the hotel directly at 317-839-2700 and use code PLA when you book your room.  Prices start at $119+ tax.  They have all the amenities as before expect for the airport shuttle.  Sorry, you will need airport transportation to/from hotel.  Book your reservation wherever you like but the Staybridge wants to see you again and they also own the Holiday Inn Express which is next door and has recently gone through a total renovation. RESERVATION CUTOFF FOR THIS RATE EXPIRES SEPTEMBER 1ST.  

Friday, September 29th, just like our 50th, we'll have a meet and greet on the patio of the Metro Diner.   We'll start gathering at 5p.  You're on your own for food and drinks.  It closes at 8p so plan to continue the party for music and mingling at the Prewitt Restaurant + Lounge @ 121 W Main St,, The Side Door Pub and Stage @ 115 N Center and possibly the Coachman.  

Saturday, September 30th afternoon, you're on your own during the day.  I suggest you grab a group of friends, make a reservation and go to the Prewitt for brunch or lunch and a tour.  The Prewitt has gone through an extensive remodel and acquired the law office next door.  You'll see the doors you snuck in/out of, the projector room and even old film reels that are now used for beer flights.  The address is the same but it is way beyond your first film or sticky floors you remember.  Their website is www.prewittdining.com.  

 

Saturday, September 30th evening reunion.

Gather at the Eagles Lodge 5556 US-40 West Plainfield.  It is located on the north side of US 40 about 1.5 miles west of the Prewitt. The Eagles is a 501 (C)(3) international non-profit organization.  

Doors open at 5pm for registration, photos and a cash bar.  At 6:15pm we'll have a welcome, a group photo and then begin to eat at 6:30pm.  A taco bar, pizza and salad are being offered on the buffet.  No band is booked but 60's music will provide background for anyone who wants to dance.  The room is booked until 11pm. Your dancing shoes may take you to the Prewitt Restaurant + Lounge, The Side Door Pub and Stage and the Coachman. 

 

How can you help??

Invite all classmates you talk to through social media, random calls or sightings.. Please contact any of those on the Missing Classmates link on our website.  I may have most of their numbers and addresses and will gladly share with you.  We broke records at our 50th and I'm hoping we do for our 55th, as well.  Thanks in advance for your help !!!!  . 

Reunion Costs and attendance?

We never want anyone to feel that the cost prevents someone from attending.  If you know of anyone where this may be the case, please let me know.  Also, any overages after expenses are paid will be split between the PHS Student Assistance Fund and Strides.  We are also looking into how we can use Facetime or Zoom so those who can't attend may be able to join us after all.
