50th Anniversary Approaches

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the opening of Andrew Warde High School. A celebration has been planned for Thanksgiving Day to commemorate the golden anniversary. Several events will take place during the football game against arch-rival Ludlowe High School.

Members of the first football team from Andrew Warde High School in 1956 will be introduced on the field, as well as legendary coach Fern Tetreau. Two statues will be unveiled by the flagpole to honor Tetreau and the late Bill Davis, his successor from 1970 to 1979. The field will be renamed in honor of both distinguished coaches. And, there will be special festivities and ceremonies to observe the 50th anniversary of Andrew Warde High School.

I welcome any stories, photographs, anecdotes, or comments from you as we approach the big day. Our 30th high school reunion took place this year, and it was a tremendous success. I've tried to build on the momentum of that August night and the upcoming 50th anniversary of our high school by having weekly polls, bi-weekly Warde trivia contests, opening an AWHS reunion gift shop, and hosting a message board. It's been a labor of love. However, I can't do it without your help. Please help me keep the blog going by offering articles, photos, and messages.

I am honored to be the Master of Ceremonies for this year's gala celebration. Thanks for your support and kind words as the blog celebrates our 30th reunion and 50th birthday for our fine high school.
