Make History
by Bill Whetstone, Class of ‘57

The historical committee needs some dedicated individuals to work a couple of hours a day, at least two times a week in our Historical display rooms.

What to do you ask? Organize, sort out all kinds of printed material, make file folders, re-do display cases, throw out excess copies of the same item, set up 2 and 3 ring binders and labels.
There is also labeling and organizing of file cabinets. A LOT of tedious, time consuming projects.

We will have some more shelves, cork board, and peg board to work with soon.
The NWC wood working classes are getting ready to start installing the new display stuff.

If you would be willing to help, please email me at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it or call 405-721-4544.
There is a recorder on the number if no-one answers.
THANKS!

President’s Note
by Ramona Ware, Class of ‘57

Hello again, Knights and Ladies, It seems almost impossible that another year is gone. Planning is already underway for this year. At the Board of Director’s meeting in October, a new group of officers was elected, and filled their new positions on January 1, 2009. At that meeting, the Directors decided that, since I had only served ½ of a term, I was eligible to serve as President again, for another term. This was also something of a necessity, since no one else was willing to “step up.” We still need more new blood to take the reins when we “old horses” just can’t pull the wagon any more. It was also determined at the meeting, that since Lynde Nash had also served in the position of Recording Secretary for only ½ term, that she was also eligible to serve in that capacity again.

The officers for the 2009-2010 term are as follows:

As you can see from the list above, our stats are improving, but we still have too many “oldies” in key positions. We have numerous committee chairmanship positions for those of you who would like to get involved. They don’t require too much time. We would LOVE to have some of you volunteer, either for a chairmanship, or as a worker bee on one of the committees.

The committees are:

During 2008, we spent your money on the following items/projects:

• Museum ($556.63) - Shelves, frames, glass, and miscellaneous supplies

• Kelly Maples ($500) - Last of $1000 Paulette Thrower scholarship

• NWC Drama ($50)

• Army ROTC ($250) - First time anyone had donated to them

• Art Department ($331.98) - Drying rack and trays for ceramics

• Chemistry Department ($1,504.51) - Equipment

• Teen Empower ($500) - Sex education for students, an unbelievable program

• Four Scholarships ($2,000) - $500 each to Nhi Nguyen, Yaseli Barios, Luisa Garcia and Kim Hoang

• Science Class ($250) - Field trip for the 9th grade academy

• Cheerleaders ($1,700) - New uniforms to help with school spirit. The old ones were about 13 to 14 years old. These will last a long time. They are passed on from year to year.

As Mary St. John is fond of saying, “There is power in $15.00.”
There is also power in volunteers.

If any of you are willing to get involved and help us,
please contact me at 405-721-3178 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

Northwest Classen's band returns to the field!

Last season, the band marched for the first time in years, band director Rheuben Green said. This year, Green started a jazz band and some students are learning second instruments. Students will go to concert band contests next semester.

"I think because we’re more established and the student body has seen what we are trying to do, more kids are coming,” Green said. "We’re excited to be here, and we plan on being here a long time.”

In the past three years, grants from the Friends of Northwest Classen High School Foundation have put the school’s band back on the marching field. Earlier this month, the organization of alumni gave teachers at the school $61,000 in grants, with the largest grant — $12,000 — going to the band.

Principal Tamie Sanders said since the band started receiving grants from the organization, band membership has increased from eight students to 38.

Much of the recent $12,000 grant went to purchase instruments.

"Our kids don’t own their own instruments,” Sanders said. "We didn’t have the instruments. Our instruments were broken or nonexistent. It has remade the band.”

"I think because we’re more established and the student body has seen what we are trying to do, more kids are coming,” Green said. "We’re excited to be here, and we plan on being here a long time.”

The Friends of Northwest Classen High School Foundation was created three years ago, said Lynne Hardin, a member of the foundation board. Hardin said when she returned to Oklahoma City after living elsewhere, she saw the school needed help.

"To see that it had been left unattended was just unacceptable,” Hardin said. "The last few years, the change has been extraordinary.”

Sanders said the grants are helping teachers provide more in their classrooms for students. The school now has three art teachers because the demand for art classes has increased, she said. Giving students more options can help improve attendance, she said.

"I want to offer them as much as we can,” she said.

Hello Knights and Ladies,

I’m Ramona Ware ’57, President of the Northwest Classen High School Alumni Association, Inc., and would like to clarify something about which many of you have some confusion, or outright lack of knowledge.  I’ve received numerous communications from people trying to contact the “other” alumni group – yes, there are two of us.

The Association mentioned above, and owner of this website, is almost 13 years old.  We work closely with the administration, teachers, coaches, Jr. ROTC, and student groups, giving monies to them when needed, especially in “emergency” situations.  In addition, every year since founding, we have awarded from one to four scholarships, in amounts of $500.00 to $1000.00, to deserving seniors.  We also work on searching for lost classmates in all classes, help with reunions when requested, etc.  We are available to help with all kinds of problems of NWC, students, and alumni, year round.  We also publish quarterly newsletters which are sent to all members of the Association to keep them involved and aware of what is happening with us and NWC.  Our dues are $15.00 per person, annually.  Reunion information, registered grads, and more can be found on this website, www.NWCHSAA.org.

The Northwest Classen Alumni Association is a non-profit organization serving alumni and friends of Northwest Classen High School in Oklahoma City. Presently there are over 500 members. The goal of the organization is to be of service to Northwest Classen and to alumni.  In keeping with this, the NWCAA sponsors clean-up days, helps out with Homecoming, is collecting historical items and is working to help classes with their reunions, along with a host of other projects. One of the best services of the NWCAA is the membership newsletter "The New Shield". This publication contains information on association events, happenings at the school, reunion notices, and lots of other neat stuff. This website is also provided by the Alumni Association.

Northwest Classen High School History

Northwest Classen High School was built in 1955 to meet the growing need for educational facilities in northwest Oklahoma City.  It was designed after a committee of architects and administrators visited and studied forty schools in seven states.  The final architechure plan was made by Hudgins, Thompson, Ball and Associates, and construction was performed by the Builders Company.  The building was first opened on September 3, 1955 with 10th, 11th and 12th grades.  The 9th grade were admitted when the second wing was completed in 1956.  Enrollment in 1956 was 2,002.
