Welcome to the Niles High School Class of 1974 web site. It has been 45 years since we graduated from NHS and we are still going strong.  Here are the latest details regarding our casual reunion this summer:

Date:  Saturday, August 24th

Location:  The Brass Eye (Downtown Niles)

Time:  Starting at 6:00 p.m. 

From Terri Bayles (Howells):  We have a new location for the Class of ’74 Reunion 2.0. The Brass Eye, a craft cocktails lounge in downtown Niles has agreed to let us have the place to ourselves starting at 6:00 pm on Saturday, August 24^th – for a price – we have to meet a $500 minimum for drinks. Since food isn’t really their thing, we can order pizza and other items as we need from Pizza Transit next door. If a mere thirty people show up that’s less than $20 each. And to ease the burden of buying food separately – or to incentivize all of you who like a good deal – Steve Bender generously offered to put up $100 towards food (thanks, Steve!). David (Abbott) and I will gladly match that, so the first $200 worth of pizza is on the three of us.

This is still a casual gathering but  I'd like to be able to confirm with the owner as soon as possible that we’ll have enough people to make his minimum. To that end, I’d be grateful if you could RSVP here on the message forum, on Facebook, or just send me an email asap.  If it doesn’t look like we’ll have enough people, those who are going to be in town can still meet up there, we’ll simply have to share the space with others.

One more thing, Melody Conrad would like you all to know that the Vikings 40 Plus group (an organization that raises money for scholarships for Niles students) is having their annual gathering on that Saturday from 11am to 3pm at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Niles. It's open for anyone to attend - especially Niles alumni. If you're in town early enough consider attending and start the catching up early. You can message Melody for details from her profile or via the Message Forum.

Please spread the word to classmates who don't visit this website--get them to join! Hope to see lots of you on the 24^th!! 

Please RSVP to Terri Bayles (Howells) at terri.howells@nd.edu.
