Anthony Wayne Class of 2006 — 20-Year Reunion

Step one

RSVP for the weekend

Takes 20 seconds. It tells the committee how much food to order for the tailgate and how big a room to book for Saturday night. Spouses and kids welcome Friday; Saturday is 21 and up.

63 in for Friday · 33 in for Saturday

Step two

Chip in for the weekend

Friday tailgate is $10 a person — pizza, chips, cookies, and brownies, all paid ahead so nobody on the committee is fronting the bill. Saturday at Buffalo Rock is pay-your-own-tab. Anything extra goes to decorations, the slideshow, and a toast to the classmates we've lost.

The game plan

Two decades since we walked the halls of AW. Dig out your blue and white — we've got a whole weekend of catching up to do.

Friday · October 16

Tailgate & the game Family-friendly

Tailgate starts at 5:00 PM in the Senior Commons at the high school — bring the kids, the spouses, and your best Friday-night-lights energy
$10 a person covers pizza, chips, cookies, and brownies — chip in above so nobody's fronting the bill
Bottled water is provided — bring your own if you want something else to drink
Then into the stadium to cheer on the Generals at the home football game vs. Perrysburg, 7:00 PM kickoff
Anthony Wayne High School, 5967 Finzel Road, Whitehouse

Heads up: game tickets are on you — everyone buys their own at the gate or through the school's ticket site. Chip-ins cover the tailgate and Saturday, not admission.

Saturday · October 17

Night out Adults only

Evening party for the grown-ups at Buffalo Rock — line up a babysitter now
No reservation needed; it's a pay-your-own-tab night, so no cover charge
Starts at 6:00 PM — RSVP above so we can give Buffalo Rock a head count

Dates moved: the reunion was originally set for October 2–3 and has shifted two weeks to October 16–17 because of the football schedule. Update your calendars.

Senior year, 2005–06

A few things that were true the last time we were all in the same building.

6–4Generals football in fall 2005, 4–3 in the Northern Lakes League

2×Anthony Wayne cheer took state mount titles in both 2005 and 2006

8Northern Lakes League schools we played: Bowling Green, Lake, Maumee, Perrysburg, Rossford, Springfield, Southview

165Marching Generals, high-stepping in those Revolutionary War uniforms, give or take a few

2006 time capsule

Razr flip phones and T9 texting. Burned CDs for the drive to school. MySpace top 8 drama — Facebook didn't open to everyone until that fall. Cargo shorts, Livestrong bands, and gas that felt expensive at three dollars. Pep rallies in the big gym, and Friday nights on Finzel Road.

Got a better memory than these? Post it in the forum — best ones get added here.

Why we're the Generals

Anthony Wayne High School opened in 1951 when the Monclova, Waterville, and Whitehouse schools came together as one district. The name honors General "Mad" Anthony Wayne, who led American troops at the Battle of Fallen Timbers just up the Maumee River in 1794 — which is why the band marches in Revolutionary War-style uniforms and the school bleeds royal blue and white.

Then & now

We're collecting senior-year photos for a slideshow on the Friday tailgate and a gallery on this page. Dig through the shoebox, snap a picture of the yearbook page, and drop it in the forum or the Facebook group.
