Welcome to the new Great Bend High School Class of 1975 web site. It's been 35 years since we graduated from GBHS and we are still going strong.
We have created this web site to make it easy for us to get reacquainted and to stay in touch---plus communicate important 2010 reunion details!
This site is FREE to all GBHS class of 1975 alumni, teachers and invited guests. Unlike Classmates.com and the other sites, you do not have to pay to make a profile or to be able to access other alumni profiles.

If you are a registered classmate, welcome back! Enjoy looking at the profiles of old friends BUT don't forget to add/update your own photos and information!

Friends With You by John Denver
What a friend we have in time
Gives us children, makes us wine
Tells us what to take or leave behind
And the gifts of growing old
Are the stories to be told
Of the feelings more precious than gold
Friends I will remember you, think of you
Pray for you
And when another day is through
I'll still be friends with you
Babies days are never long
Mother's laugh is baby's song
Gives us all the hope to carry on
Friends I will remember you, think of you
Pray for you
And when another day is through
I'll still be friends with you
Friends I will remember you,
Think of you, pray for you
And when another day is through
I'll still be Friends with You
Friends I will remember you,
Think of you, pray for you
And when another day is through
I'll still be Friends with You

"We all took different paths....
But every dirt road we’ve walked will lead us back to the friends that know us best.
The ones that will help you up and slap the dust off, without being asked".

Hello Classmates,
The Great Bend High School Class of 1975 is planning their 35 year reunion. It will be held on Friday and Saturday, July 30-31, 2010. The weekend is intended to be a casual get together to take a step back in time as we remember with fellow classmates.

From the Arkansas Bridge just south of 10th and Main, go 14 miles south to Highway 19, turn right and go 2 miles west, turn right and go ¼ mile north. The entrance is on the East side.

Football Reunion
Hello to all of the "Football" fans of the the class of 1975! Rita (Damm) and I are planning on attending the "Reunion" this summer. Would anyone be interested in attending an informal gathering of the 1975 Football Team? I have recently talked with Coach Sherm Price and have had contact with Coach Cochran and Coach Lambert (maybe they will want to attend as well or at least pass an email along). If anyone is interested in getting together and sharing stories please email your ideas to:
bruce@prattrecreation.com
I am looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
