GP North class of 1970
announces 40th reunion

The Grosse Pointe North High School Class of 1970 has scheduled its 40th reunion for June 19 at the Grosse Pointe Yacht Club.

Activities are planned the entire weekend, however, with a Friday night get-together, the reunion on Saturday night, and a picnic on Sunday. The reunion will be the first since their 20th in 1990 and the planning committee, chaired by Edward Eroe and Diana Moghissi Weaver, expects a huge turnout. The committee began looking for old classmates last year, using social-networking websites such as Facebook, Twitter and Classmates.com, as well as postcards, phone and word of mouth. At a new class website, classmates can enter profile information, view pictures, leave messages, take quizzes and polls, sign up for the class email listserv, and register and pay for all reunion events.

There have been discussions regarding a joint party with the planners of the Grosse Pointe South High School Class of 1970, who are having their 40th reunion later that summer. But since both schools were too far along in planning their respective events, they are exploring working together on one large party for their 50th reunion in 2020.

The class of 1970 was the first class split when Grosse Pointe North opened in 1968. Many members got to know each other in their sophomore year at Grosse Pointe High School in 1967 and want to renew those friendships. Grosse Pointe South Class of 1970 also has its own website.
