Waltrip Undergoing Renovation

Architectural design is underway for an improved Waltrip Sr. High.  Many changes occuring and your input is desired---soon! Some things that are to be altered include the front entrance, the porch area--and roof-- and an overall look--more glass and openness. There is a concern for not having the school colors more involved as blue is a color being considered in the rebuilding. Many alumni have voiced concern and although we all agree Waltrip needs some renovation maybe they also need our help, our voice and our time. This 50th Anniversary Event is at a great time but involvement now is needed. Please contact Delinda Thompson Holland '76 as she is on the Beautfication committee; email:

In the News

VOLUNTEER PERFORMERS STILL NEEDED

We are still calling for volunteer singers and instrumentalists to help perform "A Waltrip Fantasy," an arrangement of "Our Waltrip High," at the close of the 50th anniversary program on Saturday afternoon, October 16. The only positions that have been completely filled to date are snare drum and first horn in the orchestra, and we continue to need string players (violin, viola, cello, double-bass). Singers can still sign up for all parts. We are in special need of baritones and basses. You do NOT have to have been in a choir at Waltrip in order to be a singer in the performance. If you have other experience (church choir, community choir, etc.), that is sufficient. Singers do not have to be proficient music readers, although reading is helpful. Also, if you are currently playing an orchestral instrument and read music, you may play in the orchestra, whether or not you were in band or orchestra at Waltrip. In addition, we need one keyboard player who reads music. To sign up, contact Jack Bevil (Class of '66) at llywarch@earthlink.net.  He will send you a signup form and the music that you need.
