 Welcome to the website of Colonel White High School - Class of 1964. Click here to add us to your favorites. As you can readily see, this site is a work in progress - in fact, we've only just begun.

Sad news, Tom Bradrick has passed away 7-2-2009 at age 80

Our newest area is now open, Click here for The Little Colonels!

A “homecoming” reunion of former Little Colonels will be held on Saturday, Oct. 23, 2010.
     If you were a Little Colonel during the tenure of Band Director Jack DeVelbiss (1957-66) or Dave Harrison (1966-71) we want to hear from you. If you are from a class after 1971, we welcome you as well.

     A Little Colonel reunion was always a wish of Mr. D’s, and we’re finally going to make it happen. It’s been more than 50 years since the unit’s inception! A steering committee of former Colonels has been organized and plans are being made. We are fortunate to have Dave Harrison and his wife Nancy on the committee; as well as our original Little Colonel mascot Jodi DeVelbiss Wells, and her mom Ci DeVelbiss, working with us to make it a truly memorable event.

     So mark your calendars and come celebrate one of the best experiences of your years at Colonel White. Relive the memories of half-time shows, parades, band camp, and the Colonel bus. Come celebrate the pride of having been a Little Colonel. To register to attend the Little Colonel Reunion next year, please email your response to the following address:  lcreunion@yahoo.com. Just enter this address in your own email account's "To" field, and let us know that you will be attending. Jodi DeVelbiss Wells and Kathy Keefer Fink are receiving the responses. Please include your maiden name, graduation year, and mailing address so we can keep you updated!
Colonels, fall in!

Fondly,
Kathy Keefer Fink 1965 Chairman

Greetings Classmates,

    Well Mother Nature is playing with our desire to have spring blossom and glow. The sun is shinning but her little trick is the winter bitter cold still lurking in the air. This, however does not dampen the spirit of those who are marking the demolition of our High School with pictures and visits to the area that was once that hallowed building that maintained our lives for a very brief four years.

     There are pictures to look at ( thanks to Don Thompson ’63 ) and I am going to take some on Monday the 16th which will probably be the end of the road. Yes..we are getting older and things are changing around us but that Cougar Spirit is still there. Every time I start to feel ancient, I remember Dick Scott and his pep speech at the closing ceremony for CW. I smile and remind myself that the spirit is always young. And that is the spirit of a Cougar. We never diminish.

     Jackie Winkler Annis has agreed to do a section of this website about the Little Colonels. Keep an eye out and see what she has planned. If you have any pictures or memories you would like to share with her for the website you can

just e-mail to the website here...

or to Jackie here...

We have had the passing of another teacher,

G. Christine Daugneaux

     Enjoy the beauty of the season and know that spring is really around the corner. In these days of uncertainty and change we still have the beauty of Nature.
GO COUGARS!

October 15, 2006. We are finally getting our “work in progress” on the road and operating. First of all our 41st Reunion page has been updated with photos and info about the weekend we were lucky enough to have in August of 2005. What a great night! Mr. & Mrs. Whitaker, Coach and Mrs. Eby, and Mrs. Bright and her husband were guests at our dinner on Saturday evening. The tour of the High School was a lot of fun and our Marion 's night was very well attended. We had a turnout of 128 people. With the continued search for classmates, we hope that our 50th Reunion will be bigger and better!

     We have a new column starting with Jim Rowlands doing a history corner for our website . Keep tuned. I am sure he will have some interesting things to relate. Be sure to read his intro. We also have a new area… School Daze – Can you name these classmates? As of now we only have Jefferson pictures and one CWHS picture. If you have some old pictures lying around and are from any one of the other grade schools PLEASE send them in .jpeg format and we will post. I would love to have them from all of the schools. This will be a fun area for us all to laugh and remember. So bring on those pictures and bring them on soon. The more we have the more fun it will be.

     We are in need of submissions for the web site. If you have something you would like to see and are interested in writing or posting to the site, pictures, articles or etc, please send them to cwcougars64@aol.com we will be happy to post them.

     We are also going to try to post a missing classmates page and would appreciate all of your assistance in trying to find those for whom we have no contact information. Some, I am sure are right here in the Miami Valley ! When we started this whole reunion program we had very little time and very little help. We found as many classmates as possible but I KNOW we missed a lot of people. So if you know where someone is, please let us know. Without your help we may pass over a classmate who might want to be included. I know that we have searched for many and keep coming up with dead ends so please understand that your assistance is very important. We do not wish to exclude anyone or hurt anyone's feelings so please help us all you can.

     Looking forward to having some interesting articles to post and getting our 45 th on the road! We will keep it casual and keep it simple and hope you will all be able to make our 45 th .

     Keep an eye on us…we are working. Hope to see you at Marion 's at Town & Country on the 13th of October!

Be well.

Maggie
