Walt Whitman High School Class of 1968 - Photo Galleries
Welcome to our Walt Whitman High School Class of 1968 Photo Galleries feature. You can help enhance the appeal of our Website by contributing your photos to these galleries. Your classmates want to see both old and new photographs so dig through the attic and archives and start posting your treasures. If you do not have the required digital format to upload (jpeg preferred) you can take your photos to a print shop like Kinkos and have them scanned to a disc. If you need more help let us know.
And, if you or a group of classmates would like to start a completely separate special interest photo gallery you may submit a request by clicking on the contact administrator button. So, have some fun and show us your STUFF!
I believe the 10th was held at the Huntington Townhouse (which, sorry to tell you, is evidently being torn down - it IS closed). This is Katie typing, but see if anybody else agrees: 10 years' elapsing didn't do much to change any of us. The great dancers still danced great, the timid individuals clung to one another timidly, and I don't think there was a huge amount of BLENDING. &n...
20 year reunion, Sons of Italy, Somewhere, Long Island, New York - they chucked us out at midnight, and we scattered to the winds, and also CONTRIBUTED to those winds, because you have never heard a gabbier class than ours when it comes to reuniting...
As you can see from the following photos we had a great turnout and everyone had a wonderful time at our 30 year reunion. It was a Coco's - the din of the DJ was ear-splitting, and we had to compete somewhat with another party in the other part of the building. Still, there was a LOT of dancing and talking and screaming and laughing - which prompted us to plan a 35th, as no one wanted to ...
35th Class Reunion - held at a Marriott in Islip, NY, September 2003 - the preunion the night before was at Coco's and we actually turned the volume UP on the 30th reunion, decibel-wise!!! We improved our reuniting skills by reserving a block of hotel rooms so we could reunite without fear of meeting the local constabulary on the highway... AWESOME TIME. Top floor of the hotel - ove...

The 40th reunion events started with the September 12, 2008 cocktail party. We invited guests from other classes to participate with us.

On Friday afternoon September 12, 2008, a number of us spent time getting the room ready for the upcoming events. As more people began arriving to check in at the hotel , the atmosphere became more and more festive. Smiles were breaking out everywhere, lots of hugs and kisses were being exchanged, everyone was pitching in to help. The room was electric with the anticipation of seeing the ...
After our tour of WWHS, many of our classmates ventured to downtown Huntington. We walked around town to see what had changed over the years, met with other classmates for lunch at various local restaurants and drove around town to see the sights, both old and new. Lots of remininiscing was done by all, and waves of nostalgia seemed to wash over all of us as we looked at the old Huntington movi...

Our tour of WWHS on Saturday, October 5,2018. The High School Principal. John Murphy and 2 student leaders led the way for us. Great tour of the school, a review of what is changing, direction of the district. All had a very enjoyable time as a prelude to the main event
As most of us were born in either 1949 or 1950, we qualify as the heart of the 'Baby Boomer' generation. Here then are some interesting photos and comparisons of what we grew up with, and what is prevalent in today's society. See if anything rings a bell for you..
Have you seen or heard anything from these people? We continue to search for classmates we have lost track of. These are some of the people we are looking for information on. If you have any contact information or just some bit of knowledge for them, please email the website administrator. We WILL find everyone eventually!
Forever young.......in memory of our classmates who have passed away. Let us not dwell on the circumstances of their passing but celebrate how they touched our lives. Please advise us if you have any further details on our former classmates
Getting older and proud of it! Yes like it or not.....we're all getting a little grayer, a few more wrinkles, carrying a few extra lbs, a few less hairs. It's part of life! Share recent pictures of yourselves or with your families.. Simply click add photos link.
Classmates are going up in their attics, dusting off their scrapbooks and sharing their favorite personal photos from yesteryear. Help document the candid parts of our class past by posting your old personal photos.

We have been successful in finding some people recently, many times with information provided by other classmates. If you have any information on other classmates, please share with us and we will research a...
Since we left the hallowed halls of Walt Whitman, many changes have taken place in the district over the years. Many of us remember the schools we attended leading up to HS...West Hills Elementary, Depot Rd school, Pidgeon Hill Elementary, Memorial JHS to name just a few.. Alas, many have long since closed or changed in usage. We thought it would be fun to show the buildings the district ...
The 1960's were well before the days of the internet, 4 cylinder SUV's, digital photos, cell phones, and grande decaf triple shot half skim soy lattes. We are all children of that very special 60's era. Peruse our gallery and see if these images evoke any memories of our WWHS years of 1964-1968.
Many of us have sisters, brothers, spouses or other family members who graduated from Walt Whitman. This gallery is dedicated to showcase those close to you who graduated in different years. Please add YOUR family members who are fellow Wildcat grads.
