I found the site while web surfing on a snowy night here in Nova Scotia. Spent at least an hour looking at photos of Washington and old yearbooks. Have often thought of Mrs. Dorwood and three years of her French class....I use the remnants of what I learned with her when we have French speaking visitors at our winery! Wonderful site!

I just want to mention what a great job Dee does with this site -- as everyone has seen . If everyone didn't realize there are a ton of WACOHI alumni on Facebook, you who haven't checked it out - should. They even have a search to check out alumni by your graduation year so it's easy to find classmates . Plus Dee has some great photo albums when you add her as your friend. Hope you don't mind Dee.

Thanks, Dave. I appreciate your offer but Don and I never planned to go beyond the Class of '71. Others will have to pick up the baton and go forward with their own design and website. I just do not have the time right now and Don wanted me to keep this site as our work. It was a labor of love for us and I want to honor his wishes.

Hi Gregg and William,
I am the owner and webmaster of wacohi.com. I do not have the '51,'52, or '68 yearbooks. When I have time, the '60 yearbook is next in line to be posted on the website. I plan to fill in the years from 1946 to 1971 eventually. ;-)

Hello Class of '69: Guess what? It's been forty years now, and it is time for another reunion!
There is nothing really formal planned for this one, but Pat Wagner asked me to get a note onto WACOHI.com. Here are the informal plans for a relaxing get-together:
Friday, October 2 --
Homecoming Parade starts at 2:00 p.m.
Homecoming Football (vs. Pekin) starts at 7:30 p.m.
Informal gathering at Denhart's C-Note Pub on Washington Square starts around 7:00 p.m. (may overflow onto the park benches in the Square, like in the old days).
Sunday, October 4 --
Breakfast at Kennel Lake provided by Pat Wagner and whomever she can corral as her assistants (in the past, it has always been good!) Come out as early as you feel like getting your old selves moving around.

I haven't been back to Washington since my mother passed a few years ago. Looking at this web site, however, convinces that my family and I need to make the trip back sometime soon.

Just down the road from Springfield and also just down the road from Mansfield (home for 60 years to Laura Ingalls Wilder). Her home and museum are there, it is where she wrote all the "Little House" books and it is an interesting place. Husband Steve and I are doing great and our son Chris lives in Chicago, sister Monica "74" still lives in Albuquerque NM. and brother Mike lives in East Peoria. Everyone is doing fine, just getting a little older - you know.

Hello again!
I stumbled upon this site nearly a week ago by accident and didn't have time to linger then.
Thank you for this site and ESPECIALLY for the yearbooks. My own yearbooks were very special to me, and I would have held on to them always; however, now they are lost forever since about 1982 (a long story), although not of my own doing.
Again, thank you very much. I just visited the 1970 yearbook and was looking through the seniors...I can't express how much that means to me, to be able to see those photos I thought I would never see again because of no longer having my yearbooks.
Hey, everybody from the Class of 1970, I'm looking forward to the next reunion...I'm going to try really hard to mingle this time...I really want to talk to as many of you as I can, but sometimes it's scary to approach those you don't know well (i.e., fear of rejection), so try to meet me halfway...I really would like to talk to everyone I can.
Wow, those 1970 senior pictures really take me back....it's amazing how those pictures from so long ago can bring back memories you haven't thought about for years.

Hey, happened upon this site by accident. I love it!!!
Has anybody out there gone to a Tony Robbins' event besides me? I went to the "Unleash The Power Within" (firewalk) live event in San Jose, CA, in June of 2006 and can't stop thinking about it...the most awesome experience of my life (with the possible exception of the birth of my daughter, Laura, in 1972), and the FIREWALK was pretty exciting, too! (tee-hee)
I'd love to hear from y'all (used to live in Texas for a few years, but don't really say "y'all" too much)....just try to put WACOHI in the subject line so I'll know it's not "garbage" mail.
Again, G-R-E-A-T site....I love the images of the high school in the background!

Thank you for creating this site! Though I now live on curving, hilly roads in a forest of trees, many of my dreams involve my walking, riding a bike, or driving the roads in and around Washington. Facing a difficult task, I remember sliding to school on the ice, wearing clothes I sewed, playing my $20.00 piano, and living among the some of the best people on Earth! I married a wonderful man from Springfield, IL and have twin sons in high school. I've taught English at a technical college 30 years.

This is Kenny Todd, Class of 65. I just learned about this site yesterday in Washington at Denhart's Baking Company and Restaurant on the square. It was a great to see my old class mates as I had forgotten about a lot of you. I'm a retired 30 year veteran of Law Enforcement and living in rural Marshall County now. I married Vicki Bjork, Class of 68, in 1970 and we had two children, Troy and Kim, both married and living in the Peoria Area. We have four Grandchildren to date.

What a neat website - well done and not too busy! Got a note from a good friend who still lives in town. Enjoyed reading the notes from other people. In the '66 4th grade class pix with Mrs. Weeks the girl labeled "Jan" on the top row is Jan Lietz. Also, in the '66 pictures a girl's name should be "Mildred Lott". In the '66 1st grade pix the boy in front row right is Tony Moore - lived down the street from me. Liked seeing the pictures from people and reading how far many of them have roamed from home. I have been on trips to Europe with my hubby when he went for his government work. Never imagined I would actually be in those places I learned about when attending Washington schools! I welcome any correspondence from former classmates and hearing what their lives became.

I really loved looking back at the past and want to thank you for all the memories. My brother, Terry Miller and I started out going to Central, then to Pleasant View, then to Washington Grade, then to WaCoHi, then moved to Eureka in 67. Terry was in the class of 70 and I in the class of 69. He lives in England now and I miss him. He finally got an email addy but he rarely checks his mail, Oh Brother! What a blast from the past, Thanx, Ida Miller (Harroun)

Found a note from my niece Erin Kathleen Armstrong (class of 1998) saying as to how there'd been an Armstrong in Washington schools for a long time--I started the high school run in 1962 followed by my eight younger siblings and many nieces and nephews til Erin's graduation! I've enjoyed my first stroll through this website and will definitely be back to see more. Thanks to those responsible for an excellent site. And I will get that form mailed off to the reunion committee PDQ!

Hi! I was wondering if anyone has any stories about my dad, Michael E. Kelley. I am not sure what year he graduated, but he was 42 in 1985 when he died of a MI. I know there was another Michael Kelley, but my dad grew up in the country on Liberty Lane and he had 2 sisters and 4 brothers. I would just like to know more about him since I was only 8 when he died and I am just curious about him. Thank you...

I lived in Washington on Oakwood Circle. All my neighbors and a few brothers went to WACOHI, but I was bussed to the Academy in Peoria. My father, Bill Fry, owned the Rexall Drug Store and the Tazewell Theatre for awhile. He tried to bring in family shows to keep the kids off the square. (Didn't work) I remember being caught "hanging out on the Square". It was a no-no in my family. I remember watching the Canning factory burn from my bedroom window. This is a wonderful website I will definitely revisit. Thank you to those responsible. I really enjoyed the trip down memory lane. By the way, the door on the store next to the bank is the one my Dad put in after the Rexall burned down in '57 or '58. We could see the flames from it from our house on Wood St, by Lincoln School. I am awash in a sea of memories right now. Thank you.

I just want to thank Don for the years of great work he's put in on this website. My husband and I get to Washington at least once a year to visit family, but my dad died in Aug. and Mom now lives in Metamora so we won't be staying there anymore. Tom and I loved get up real early and take walks around town, even in the cold of winter, and then stop at Tally Ho for coffee or light breakfast before walking back to Lynn St. to my parents' home. Washington has changed a lot, but memories keep it familiar. My husband is from Palatine, IL and all of his former schools have been torn down or changed; and 20 years ago his parents moved away from the house he grew up in , so he has sort of adopted Washington as his second hometown. Thanks for the memories, Don.

My brother Ed road out Katrina in the hall way of his house for 5 hours. Storm surge stopped about 40 feet from him. Thank God. He was lucky. We all lived in a great place at a great time to be alive. It was never perfect but it taught us all how to survive. Lets hope our kids are as fortunate as we were.

Hi Don,
In the first picture of a Pleasant View first grade class. In the first row on the far right is Kari Schmidgall. I think that the girl you have identified as a Faubel is actually Barbara Schrock. The first name of the little girl beside the teacher was Vicky. In the second grade picture starting with the back row from the right is Rex Winemiller and Kari Schmidgall. The little girl in the front row on the right is Virginia Waughop. I am almost sure that the girl you have identified as Mary Jo Faubel is actually Barbara Schrock. In the Grace Bible Choir I recognize several faces. In the first row from the left. The first man is your father Walter Lott. I don't know the next one but the last one is Jim Lanxton and next to him is Mrs. Schuck, but I don't remember her first name for now. Second row and the second person in is Doris Attig. Skip two ladies and the next one is Virginia Summer. Skip one and the middle gentleman is Steve Lott next to him is Ken Clark I think. The only other one whose name I can recall in that row is the second to the last, Jo Ann Summer. In the third row is Joan Cook her mother and if you skip one her sister Jean. The next one is a Hunziker. Skip the next one and you have Bob Summer. Then comes your sister Mildred Lott and I don't know the next two but the last two are Carolyn and Sally Grenzebach. In the last row is the oldest Wehnes girl and next to her is Mrs. Guth. I don't know anyone else in that row except Carol Lott in the far right corner. Some of the other faces I recognize but I can't put names on them right now. The pioneer girls picture is pretty unclear for me right now. Let me study it more and I will try to name some of the girls. I hope this helps. These pictures bring back some pretty good memories of more innocent times.
Thanks, Sue

Nice site! Just happened to run across it while surfing. I have a 1972 yearbook if you need one to scan, etc. Will be in Washington 6/16 thru 6/19 visiting my dad Gus. Anyone know the whereabouts of Doug McLees. I believe he lives in s.w. Missouri as I do. Thanks! Paul

Nothing like a walk down memory lane. Great site really enjoyed see old and new pictures. Just need 72's year book, I've seemed to have lost mine somewhere down through the years. Good to see some familiar pics and post (ole Crawdad, Don (Cook) do you remember your helmet decoration? Still remember that black crawdad on the Orange helmet I believe it was our freshmen year on the football squad). So many great memories. Married Vicky Wietzel in 1976 who used to live on Grant St. Washington Il., she moved to Peoria before high school and graduated from Peoria Central High. Thanks to all involved with this site.

Over the past several weeks, there has been a deluge of postings on this page from websites advertising online poker and backgammon. Because of this, I have changed the way that entries are posted. When you enter a message, it will not appear immediately as it has in the past. Your entry will go into a queue until I can post it manually. This is the only way that I can keep unscrupulous website owners from loading up the page with spurious entries. Sorry for any inconvenience.
Well Don, I want to thank you for stopping to talk and telling me about this site. Going through and seeing names I haven't thought about in years was great. I think I will check this site often.
This is a wonderful site! The photos of Washington in the '60's and '70's brought back so many wonderful memories. I hope there will be a 30th class reunion next year for our class. Would love to hear from any classmates!
I Love this . The site is very interesting and the memories are good.. Thanks for all the hard work we all enjoy it. Mary Kay Whalen
Does anyone know how a former Washington Grade School student would get ahold of a class list for the 1st grade class of 1986?
This is such a thrill to see this web site. I was a freshman in 53-54. My name is Suzanne Krempp and I would love to hear from anyone that was in my class. I recognize a lot of faces in the year book. I live in California now and my email is .... suzannekrempp@yahoo.com. .Also if anyone knows where David Cherry is (student at school) let me know. Lots of love to all of the Alumni.
I am thoroughly enjoying this Website and can assure you I will be visiting it again. If your summers are too warm where you are why not come north to Calgary? I'd be happy to go with you to the Calgary Stampede, Lake Louise, or the Columbia Ice Fields. Oh, and I hear WCHS wants to build a Performing Arts Centre; If every WCHS grad kicked in, say, $50.00 District 308 would be well on its way!
Great site. My brother, Tim, sent it to me from Northwestern instead of working. :-) I retired two years ago from Caterpillar after 30 long years. My husband and I have spent part of each year the last three years in Paris. Bonjour you-all.
Don, Thanks for the help, you have done a wonderful job. It has been great to look at the site and see pictures. Looking forward to hearing from old class mates. Thanks again
Hello! Great site--I typed in my maiden name and found this wonderful site. My grandfather, Clarence Brunnenmeyer is 99 and talks frequently of his work and love for the Washington Historical Society. I have a Washington High sweatshirt that I wear in his honor and that of my uncle and father (Richard and Dennis Brunnenmeyer). Thanks for doing this!
Wow seeing this site has brought back many memories. Great job on putting this web-site together.
This is a wonderful site. I was told about it by Denny Erickson ,class of 65. The pictures are great to look at. I will definitely be checking this site out again. Thanks to all who put this together.
Very interesting site. It's fun to look at.
Alive and well, living in az
Don, This site is terrific. It was really nice to see you and Dee Ann at the breakfast at the lake as part of the Class of '69 Reunion. I was really glad you found a picture of the old Depot where my dad worked as a station agent before we moved to Florida. When I heard that the Railroad tore it down to avoid paying property taxes I was saddened. Oh well, life goes on. In addition to thanking you for creating and maintaining this site, I would like to once again express my appreciation to Patty Wagner, Ray Lott, Gail (Schwarentraub) Harris and Terry Speerly for their dedication in pulling off a 35th Reunion. By the way, is there a way to contribute to the ongoing cost of maintaining the WACOHI site. Please let me know.
Don and Tom , Thanks for the info about the I've Got a Story Video. I will be calling to get a copy of it. Dan
Tom, thanks for the correction, and thanks for sharing your memories of Washington. I wish that we could have attended the "I've Got A Story" program in which you participated, but look forward to viewing the video. If anyone else would like to see the video, contact the Washington Historical Society to purchase it. (309-444-2113).
Don: I need to correct previous info...Washington Co-op picture. It is Ron Naffziger..not Nofsinger...my apologies to Ron. Also, my hat off to the folks who organize the "I got a Story" gathering. What a beautiful way to share memories of living and growing up in Washington.
I was surfing the internet today and decided to type in my mother's maiden name (Brunnenmeyer). I found your website and much to my surprise, saw photos of my great grandparents, John and Lena Brunnenmeyer, who I had never met. My mother, Mary Brunnenmeyer, was born and raised in Washington.
Hi everybody! Haven't seen most of you since the early 50's. I still get to Peoria occasionally and would be interested in having lunch sometime. If not lunch, perhaps we can exchange an email or two. Look forward to hearing from you! Regards, Ken
I didn't graduate with the class in 1965. Turning 17 as a freshman and 20 in 1965. I dropped out in May of 65, and spent the next 32 years at Caterpillar Inc. I had many friends at WCHS. The 35 year reunion was my first and I enjoyed it very much. Thank you for letting me join you and I hope to see you all at the 40th reunion.

i would have been in the class of 74 with mindy mason and dicky cole and mary ellen sunderlin but after growing up in washington i moved away.
Don: The picture of Washington Co-op...Left to right Jim Berlett, Bill Schmidt, Maurey Bachman, Jim Moody, Ron Nofsinger, sorry can't recall name of last guy on right. Tom
Hi, my name is Jeremiah and I grew up in a very old house in Washington at 500 S. Main Street. My parents still live there today but I was wondering if you had any old photos of that house. I found one on this web site that shows a few houses on S. Main but mine is covered by a few trees so I can't see it too well. Just wondering though if there were anymore out there. When I was younger we also did that Christmas tour thing. I remember I had to stay upstairs though while people came in and ate cookies and snacks :)
Hi Don and Dee Every time I sneak some time to look at WACOHI.COM I'm more impressed with what you are doing. Our picture file is growing at the Historical Society, and will sometime soon be sorted and catalogued so we know what we have. We had a wonderful Christmas Home Tour this year. Over 700 people came through. The old White (Mason-White) funeral home was the big draw. The Ruppman's have been working on it (or their contractors) have been working on it for almost 5 years and it is close to complete. Again, Thank you for your wonderful excitement for Washington. I've been here 72 years and wish I could see another 72.
Don, I've been checking out your site since Keith Smith showed it to me a little over a year ago. It's been great to see so many things that I remember (and some I don't!). In 30 years of playing music, mostly in Colorado but other places as well, it's not been uncommon for someone from home to show up in some obscure place and say 'Hi'. The talk inevitably turns to what a great place Washington was to grow up in.
After finding the WaCoHi site quite by accident, I was pleased so see 'old times' photos around town. It was the first time I had seen the photo of me at work in front of Bill Engle's gas station on Peoria Street in 1945. Your historical presentation brings many happy memories. Keep up the great work.
Don - the site is great. Thanks for sharing. I did not know it existed - now I can share with my brother and sister. I do have the names of a few of the folks from the '65 class, but will have to pull out my ancient pics. Looking forward to our reunion in July.
This is an outstanding piece of work!! It certainly brings back a carload of memories. Thanks for you great effort.
It is great to take this walk down memory lane.
Great Site! I found out about reunion after the fact. Looks like fun.
This is a great site. I'm a long time gone from WaCoHi, but this really brings back some great memories. I see that many of us have traveled far away, but we never can forget those great years and the wonderful simplicity of it all.
I didn't make it to the 35th reunion, but John Welch told me about the Web site. It had some great memories - bitter and sweet. Thank you, Don, for creating this site. I can't find the Uncle Woody's pictures. I used to work there. It was great! I sure miss those "Big Deals." Of course, back then, they didn't all go to the hips. I think my whole set of glasses when I was first married consisted of those confiscated from there. Sh-h-h-h, don't tell anyone. Does anyone remember the sit-in and our motto: "Sin and sex, beer and wine, we're the class of '69?" Hello to Sue Robertson and Karen Maxey, my best friends, then and now.
Mary Kay Whalen sent this to me and I am so glad to see such a site dedicated to all of us! Don, thank you, as you did a wonderful job. The memories flooded back! I used to work at Uncle Woody's ----what fun we had... This is so nice. Feel free to write any time.
Born and raised in Washington during the 30's, 40's and early 50's, we lived in paradise, not knowing it. Great little town!
hello there. would like to get in touch with a few class mates and others i know. like ken holford and some info on my class reunion in 2005. please all who see this may e-mail me. keep up the good work.
I second Tom's statement. Don your devotion to keeping the spirit of WaCoHi and Washington alive in all of us is fantastic. You are awesome in your hard work. Dee and you are two great people. You are a good friend and a big help to us who are a little computer challenged. Thanks
Don I am totally overwhelmed with your passion to expose and share Wacohi web site. Your passion is certainly our pleasure. This has to cost you, not only many hours of dedication but more than likely a coin or two. My real question is. What can all of the loyal Wacohi Alumni do to keep a Great thing going? Your suggestions will be appreciated and the Panther Pride will respond. Tom Hexamer and the Class of 56??
Don & Dee I finally got time to take a look. This is great. On behalf of the Washington Historical Society of which I am president at the moment, we thank you for all the motivation for nostalgia around WCHS and Washington.
Don, Excellent job. I have been having fun emailing this site around to people. Keep up the good work. Tell Ray I said hi....
skipping Latin class to run to Uncle Woody's with John Gordon, Sharon Abernathy, Sally Beenders, etc. Skipping first hour and last...How did I get my diploma??? Great job....Dee and Don. Looking forward to seeing you in October 2004!
After 39 years from being away from my old high school, it's nice to find this site & many thanks to DON LOTT for contacting me via "Classmates.com". If anyone else from my class wants to communicate, please drop me an email. Thanks.
I talked to Ray and Sandy Lott who directed me to the web site. This is great! I am looking forward to seeing old class mates at the October reunion. Sounds like a good time!
Don, As you know for the last year I have been searching for the class of 69. The reunion in Oct. is a culmination of that search. As I said you have been the key part of that search. Thank you for the great job you do on the website and for all your help. I am really looking forward to seeing every one from the class of 69. It has been 37 long years and I can't wait to renew old friendships. Also thanks to Gail, Patty, Terry, and Ray for all your work. And of course thanks Gordy for planting the seed. SEE YOU ON OCT 1 Dan
Class of '69 members: Reunion announcements are being sent out to everyone whose mailing address was available. There are still some people for whom we have no current address. If you click the "yearbooks" link on Don's web site, then click 1969, you will see the flier announcing the 2004 reunion. It is a two page Adobe pdf, so after you read the announcement on page 1, take a look at the second page. This is our list of missing classmates. There is also a list of contacts on that page if you have information to share. Hope to see you in Washington in October! Ray
p.s. Thanks, Don, for helping us out. You are doing a great job with your site. You're a good brother!
Class of 1969! We'll be in touch (just like Gail said) re: reunion specifics. If you have any info re: classmates whereabouts, please let us know via E-mail (Gail or Ray Lott), snail mail (me), or phone (me-309-688-2069). yeah, yeah, I'll upgrade one of these days--about the same time I'll get a microwave or VCR--O.K. DVD--player. Later:)
Great site! Class of 1969: keep October 1, 2, and 3 of 2004 open! Trying (quickly) to get a mini reunion going. Mike (Gordy) Gordon shamed us into it :) More info coming very soon via email, snail mail, telephone, and this site. Committee members are Pat Wagner, Terry Speerly, Ray Lott, and me. Cya.
Re: the picture in the July 21st edition of the Courier: On the left from front
to back: Brad Ward, next to Brad is John Goddard, and to John's left would be
Ken Mieschner. The person next to Ken blocked by the hand I believe is Don
Manier. In the back in the suit is the music teacher, Ken Hess. On the right,
the person first on the right I do no know. The person to his right would be
Jeff Kelly. My first time on the site but not my last. Thanks for taking the
time and making the effort to make this available to us. Believe Pam Drum is
somewhere in Colorado or Kansas. Karl is in Florida. They have been divorced for
several years.
Great Job. I hope other classes will follow.
Don: Keep up the good work....I know the Class of 56' enjoys... What is really neat is viewing what you picked up on some of the 49...50...etc. Let's hope many Wacohi's will contribute more pics and info...
Very interesting site
A special "Hello" to the members of the the classes of 66-70! You are INVITED. . . . Last year the 1968 reunion committee talked about having a get together once a year so that class members would start looking forward to the 40th reunion in a few more years. Kep's place in Washington is available on Friday June 18th 2004 for an informal icebreaker starting at 8:00 pm. We also thought it would be nice to include the classes of 1966, 1967, 1969 and 1970. If you have any questions, give me a call, 309-359-8753. All the Best, Martie
My sister gave me the web site. This is really neat. Rosalee Riper and Wanda Burroughs are two of my sister's There are 5 of us Certalic girls.
My sister, showed this site to me, it was great, hope to attend the next reunion, when it comes up, Ed Dingledine lives in CO. can contact him threw his mom 28558 Irish lane, Wash. 61571
A great web site and a lot of work put into it. Hope to see more of the school classes. My husband and I enjoyed seeing the old square.
The site looks great. I hope someone can compile stats/records for all the sports teams pages. Where can I order a sweatshirt or hat?!
Aloha Class of '67 ! Lost touch with so many friends after living in Kansas City, Albuquerque, San Diego, Mexico, Hawaii, now Granbury, Texas and soon to Panama, Central America! Have been desperately trying to find Pam Drum and Karl Wellman. & what happened to Pam Gibson?
Don, Shortly after you posted the first pics of the '71 reunion my brother John told me about this. I thought it was pretty cool then, but when I returned to this site recently I was flabbergasted. What you have done here quite impressive, and very much appreciated. The time we spent at wacohi was relatively short but memories are way out of proportion. Thanks for that. I had some nice hair then, didn't I? I wish I had it back.
I visit this website frequently. It has helped me regain a part of my past that I cherish. My days in Washington and at WACOHI were some of the best years of my life. I would love to hear from any of my "old" classmates. Don, on a personal note you are fantastic; thanks. Danny Gibson
From time to time I visit this web site created so masterfully by Don and notice many who leave messages for Don or others. Through this incredible electronic medium we are able to make contact with individuals whom we know but have not seen since those wonderful years in school. I submit my invitation and e-mail address for that very purpose. If you wish please write for renewing acquaintances. Thank you.
Does anyone have information about Cindy Harkin class of '70?
It was great to see these old photos, and there were too many of me under the "other class" photos.
Steve McCutcheon class of 1970
Famous Vice President of the Jr. class that had no band for the Prom in 1969!
Don, this is a fantastic website. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. The days at WACOHI were truly the best years of my life. These pictures bring back a great flood of memories

Thanks for letting me know about the mislabeled
picture. It has been corrected. If anyone else finds mistakes like that, please
let me know!

The basketball player in the picture is not Tom Sargent. It's Don Pritchard.
Wow...very neat site. I graduated from Wacohi in 76, and boy does the uncle woodys pic ever bring back memories!!! Those were definately the 'good ole' days :)
Nice site enjoyed looking at the pics. Say hello to Dee we sat next to each other in Mr. Adams class in 8th grade.
The Washington Times-Reporter ran an article in the Nov. 19th paper about Larry Stagen compiling 100 years of WCHS Basketball history. You can read the article by clicking here. To view the pdf books compiled by Larry, go to http://www.wacohi.net/, click on the "Athletics" button, then click on "Football" or "Basketball".
Looking for class pictures for Mrs. Foster's 1st Grade Class of 1946-47 at old one room school house on Peoria Street; Mrs. Wren's 4th Grade, 1949-50; Mrs. Week's 5th Grade, 1950-51; Mrs. White's 1953-54 8th Grade Class. Also looking for name of the Kindergarden teacher(s) in basement home near corner of Peoria and Wood Street in 1940's.
Looking to contact Mike Brecklin. We're indirect 'cousins' through mutual grandparents, Jess and Ruth.
CLASS of 1964 -- Where's your site? Didn't get to graduate from WaCoHi (spent sr. yr. in WI), but it's the school of my heart. Would love to hear from Band members, classmates, etc. Would love invitation to the next Class of 1964 Reunion!
To John Certalic: Hi I'm Edie Certalic, husband is Joseph F Certalic also his brother is John Certalic. Could you be related???
What a great site! The pictures bring back a lot of memories. It's a shame that reunions only cover a single year, after all, we were all at WACOHI at the same time. I hope you keep adding to the site. I need to light a fire under someone to get a site up for the class of '69. Thanks for all of your hard work Don.
I went to grade school, the seventh grade, in Washington. I think it was 1961. We live in Iowa and are coming through the last of August. The pictures brought back so many memories, thanks. I went to Pleasant View the eighth grade, thanks for that picture. My name was Karen Kelley.
I found your site by accident and it is great! I graduated from WaCoHi in 1966, so didn't know a lot of the 1971 kids, but probably know their older brothers and sisters. Thanks for a wonderful nostalgic look back.

Thanks, Don! Viewing the yearbook brought back many memories. Wow, was I ever really that young?
Hey Don; This is a very nice site. Brings back memories!! Our Best The Weaver's
I can't believe what a great time I have had on this site tonight! This is Debbie Gilbert, Jonny Gilbert's sister, and it was a blast to see Mike Brecklin and Billy Hiatt - and even Curt Tiezzi on the reunion pictures page. Thanks so much for putting in all this work, Don. To be able to look through the 1971 and the 1953 yearbook sure did bring back memories... what a fun place to go to High School!
I attended Washington Grade School through 4th grade (where I made the best friends of my life, no doubt) with the folks that graduated in 1970. Would be interested in finding Steve McCutcheon, Ed Dingledine, Dan Gibson, and Tom Odom.
I would like to contact Rosalee Certalic. We may be related, as my surname is Certalic also. Please contact me if you have any information on how I could reach her. Thank you.
Had a great time at the reunion. Would love to hear from all of you!

I attended Washington High School my freshman year through part of my sophomore year. I hated having to move as I loved our school and was close to someone special. My father was a minister and we moved, and I attended my junior year at Jacksonville High School in Jacksonville, IL. I then attended Southeast High School in Bradenton, FL, my senior year. It is so good to see this website. Great memories!
For the WCHS football and basketball fans, I have written a History of WCHS Football from 1923-2001 and a History of WCHS Basketball from 1903-2001. The Football Book is available on the WaCoHi.net web site. The Basketball Book will soon be available on same site. Each Book has about 380 pages with records, statistics, and some pictures. I was a counselor and teacher at WCHS from 1960 to 1993. I remember many of you who graduated in 1971. In fact I still see some of you.
Great website! I'm from the WCHS Class of 1973 and it really took me back to see the pix, especially Unkle Woody's. It would be great to have websites for more of the classes. Terrific job.
I was not a student at WCHS, but found this website when I did a web search for Diane Hiatt, who appears in some of the reunion photos. We were work colleagues in Peoria some years back and I was wanting to get in touch with her.

Hey Ya'll. Many of you probably don't remember me. I lived on Bess Street in Sunnyland and attended John L Hensey. Went two years at Washington High, then my father had a massive stroke and we moved to Mississippi, been here ever since. I was looking at you reunion photos and recognized some people. If you remember me, I would love to hear from you. I am married, have been for 30 years, have two boys. One is in Dental School and the other is a Senior at Delta State University.
I just retired as a Commander with the Cleveland Police Department and have gone into business with a friend of mine.
Its been 30 years...wow you guys all look great. The web sight brings back a wonderful time in my life and would love to hear from anyone. Bob McGuire

Hi Don:
It's been awhile since I visited this web site. It is great! Thank you. There is
a picture in the misc. - chemistry class. This is a picture of my sister, Kaye
Bradley and her friend Karen Koch (Steve Koch's sister) I don't know the people
in the background, though. I'll share this site with her. Thanks to John and
Mike, also. "Hi Everyone"
To members of the class of 1971: I find that words are hard to describe the pleasure I had reviewing this web sight. The pictures were excellent and they brought many fond memories of the years I spent at WCHS. Many of you I remember from biology class and in athletics but certainly as fine representatives of the school. Very few of you have I seen since leaving in 1970 to begin a career in school administration, but those years (1962-1970) are truly the joy of my life and experience in education. I thank everyone of you for being a part of my life. Sincerely, Gerald Essington
Really like the spot on Unkle Woody's. I remember Marca and I eating a fish sandwich there not long before they closed. I would like to see some pics of the interior if there were any available. Very nice site, Don
Hi guys!! Sorry I missed the reunion, didn't get the announcement. I enjoyed seeing the pictures very much!! Had a great time at the 25th reunion and will plan to come next time. Just moved from Arizona to Minnesota - Burrrrrrr - what a change that was!!
Wonderful site. I didn't graduate with the class, but I attended K-7 with many of its members (mostly at Washington Grade School, a short time at Lincoln). Memories remain warm. Regards to all.
Don, the web page is great! We really enjoyed the stuff about Uncle Woody's. Steve and I enjoyed visiting with you and Dee Ann.
Just thought I would say Hi. My brother John told me I could see pictures of old people here.
I enjoyed seeing all the photos... esp of those whom I missed talking to at the reunion. I was so glad to see all of the out-of-state people who came... esp. so soon after the events of Sept. 11th!! How about those of you who live locally who didn't come?? Try to make it next time - it's always fun and with the events of this fall it is more impt than ever to stay connected..... you never know what tomorrow may bring! I suggest going back to doing these in the summer when more people can come. Also: in summer we can do this in an inside/outside venue .... needed for all of us who cannot tolerate all the smoke (why are there so many smokers anyhow???) Looking forward to the next one!
Hi, Don!! The sight is great!! Thanks for ALL your help with the reunion. Addresses will be coming..... Cindy
Don, what a great site, thank you so much. the reunion was a blast. but i stayed up way past my bedtime. I saw more people using their reading glasses this time including myself!! can't wait til the next reunion. I am always greatful for staying in contact with old friends. great job with the pics mike and john!! carol
I have begun labeling the pictures on this site. Many were not labeled in the yearbook, so I used my best guess, when I had one. If you see a picture that is not labeled, or is labeled incorrectly, please send me an email so that I can add a label or make a correction.
Pictures are great! Good to see that I'm not the only one who has aged!! Thanks for the memories!
Hi Marge. I have a picture of my old 63 Chevy in our driveway on the website that has your house on Oakwood Circle in the background. Do you know who is on the horse in that picture? I have the same problem that you do with not recognizing some of the people in the reunion shots. John Kane has helped me identify many of the people, but there are still quite a few I do not recognize. I will begin putting labels under the pictures, but I could use some help from others with those that are not identified.
Thanks for the pictorial of the reunion that I could not make. Don, do you remember that I lived across the street from you at Oakwood Circle? The only request that I have is to name the people in the pictures. It has been so long that I don't know them all. Great Job!!!
Thanks so much for sharing the photos of the reunion. This is the first reunion I missed, so it was nice to get a few snapshots. Looks like y'all had fun!
What a great site! You've done a fantastic job, Don. The way you've arranged these pictures is better than going to the reunion--you can see everybody and yet not have to talk to anyone.
Good job, Don. We appreciate you and Dee Ann's work on this site. But, these pictures need to be taken down immediately. There may be people looking for all of us! I have a question: does anyone know where Joel Wilson is?
I love these pictures!!!!!
I had pneumonia the week of the 30th reunion, so I was not able to attend. I really appreciate Mike Brecklin taking so many pictures and John Kane sharing them with me so that I could scan them and post them to this site. It was not the same as being there, but nice to see so many classmates and that they had not changed ... well maybe a little.
