55 Year Reunion

September 14th, 2024

Can you believe it's been fifty-five years since we last walked the halls together, shared laughter, and forged friendships that have stood the test of time?

The organizing committee has begun work to ensure that this reunion becomes a cherished memory. We hope that you’ll be able to join us for an evening filled with joy, laughter, and memories as we come together to celebrate the journeys we've taken since our high school days.

We are early in the planning stage, so there’s not a lot to share with you right now, but our plans will include:

  • Our traditional Friday night meet & greet at Bunny’s Bar & Grill in St. Louis Park on September 13, 2024, from 4pm to whenever.
  • A potential tour of SWHS on Friday or Saturday. Time to be determined.
  • The main event is at The Minikahda Club in Minneapolis on Saturday, September 14 from 6pm to 11pm.
    • This is intended to be a casual event. However, no denim or shorts and gents, no shirts without a collar.
    • The evening will begin with registration, then a cash bar (no credit or debit cards) and hors d’oeuvres.
    • A delicious and varied buffet dinner will be served in the main ballroom followed by entertainment that will transport you back to our high school days.
    • The ticket price will be $69.00 prior to August 14, 2024, $85.00 between then and September 7, 2024, which is when we need to have a final attendance count to Minikahda. $100.00 after that and at the door. We want to minimize the reservations after September 7 and at the door, so please help us by reserving before the 7th if you can.
    • We aren’t quite ready to take PayPal or Venmo, but if you want to get a jump on things you can mail a check payable to “SWHS Class of 1969” to Steve Hanson, 4101 Dynasty Drive, Minnetonka, MN 55345. If you’ll be attending with a guest, please include their name on the memo line of your check.
    • Financial assistance may be available if you need it. Email Steve Hanson at stevenj5151@gmail.com. Your request will remain confidential

Please mark your calendar for September 13 and 14! Whether you’ll be travelling across an ocean, the country, or just around the corner, we look forward to reconnecting, reminiscing, and creating new memories together. Let's make this reunion a night to remember!

A special note: We will not be using any USPS mailed postcards or invitations. All information will come to you through emails from our website and announcements on the homepage. Keep your email address up to date and watch for them.

The Southwest Rouser
by Kenneth Dixon, Class of 1943

 Cheer South-west on to vic-tor-y
Cheer her on to-day,
Spread her fame and her fair name,
With constant loy-al-ty

RAH RAH

March on South-west, March on-ward;
Victory's sure this time.
Fight for the pur-ple and white
Fight Southwest Fight!

Let's shout it from the hill-tops
Prove it every way.
Tell the world we're here to see
A Southwest vic-tor-y!

 RAH RAH

 When from these halls we leave thee
Loyal we will be
True to the pur-ple and white
Fight Southwest Fight.
