At our 50th Reunion, we established “The Class of 1954 50th Reunion Scholarship Fund.” Our leadership has also served as an incentive and a challenge for other classes to raise scholarship funds as part of their Reunions.

The Class of 1954 50th Reunion Scholarship has become one of the most prestigious awards given to graduating Seniors at ETHS.  The recipients have been outstanding students, achieving at the highest levels in academics, activities, and athletics.  Class of 1954 Scholarship recipients receive their Scholarship funds-- and one of the pins we commissioned to commemorate our 50th Reunion--on Senior Awards Night.

We raised $6,000 for our 55th Reunion! We urge you to send a generous tax-deductible donation to increase the fund.   Send your contribution to Reunion HQ, 521 6th Street, Wilmette IL 60091.  Thank you.

Eric Witherspoon. ETHS superintendent, gives us high praise:

“The Class of 1954 is unchallenged as the most generous class in the history of ETHS. The Scholarship program you initiated for your 50th Reunion has helped 22 of our outstanding graduates continue their college educations. Your other gifts over the years - The Main Hall fireplace renovation, the Orange and Blue "E" Banner under which every class since 1994 has graduated, and the sponsorship of the ETHS Authors' Bookshelf - have enriched the school and the lives of our students. I congratulate you on the occasion of your 60th Reunion."
