The Reunion Program and Memory Book

Hello, fellow Mustangs and friends of EMPEHI. The green and white balloons have settled, the bands played their final notes and the last picture has been snapped. It's time to talk about memories of Morgan Park and the now-historic 2014 multi-class reunion and fund raiser.

And you thought the fun was behind you.

For the last few months, we have been compiling the pictures and stories you sent us to put into a commemorative reunion book. Since so many responded after the initial cut-off date, we decided to wait and create a more comprehensive memory book of events. We will have pictures from the Beverly Arts Center, MPHS and the Bourbon Street canteen dance, as well as other information, acknowledgments and recollections.

The resulting reunion program and memory book will be available electronically as a PDF document for viewing and/or downloading. If the final file isn't too large, we should be able to email it to anyone who prefers that method. In any event, the book will be available, most likely from the EMPEHI reunion website, to all classmates and friends.

We also hope, if there are enough entries, to offer a bound edition through Amazon's CreateSpace print-on-demand feature. Anyone wishing to purchase a physical copy will be able to do so, the proceeds from which will go to Morgan Park High School. One of our goals has been to create an on-going benefit for the school and this is one of the ways we hope to accomplish that. Details will follow once the book is ready for prime time.

Here's where you come in:
