The New York Times talks about 50th reunions

Thinking about attending our class of 209, 50th reunion? Read what other 1964 and 1965 high school graduates have to say about the experience. Find the New York Times article here.

Update on the Ritz

The Ritz has guaranteed us a block of discounted rooms ($249/night whereas the rack rate is double that) for Friday 4/24 and Saturday 4/25/2015. The representative from the Ritz has not yet returned calls about corrections that needed to be made to our contract. The details still need to be approved and sent through the Ritz reservation system, but once we get the details straightened out, you will be able to reserve a room from the block.

50th Reunion

The 50th Reunion Committee invites you to save the date of April 25, 2015. We are planning activities for the whole weekend from a Friday visit to the school to a festive brunch on Sunday, April 26. The main event will be the luncheon on April 25 at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in downtown Philadelphia. For information contact Mary Cogan Frankel at: mcfrankel(at)comcast(dot)net

It's hard to believe that 50 years have passed since the members of the 209 graduated from Girls High! We'll try to keep this page up-to-date with reunion news, and will post copies of all the emails that go out, to make sure no one misses any important information. Please share your thoughts, memories, comments or questions here. And, if there is something you think should be on this page, please let us know.
