Historical Programs
Introduction
In addition to the treasure trove of pictures we’ve got on file, we have a number of historical programs that have been preserved over the years that truly document who we:
- Graduated with;
- Blocked and tackled for;
- Jumped through “hoops” with; and
- Played sweet music with.
As you look through these programs, please also look at the names of all the people who supported us, cheered us along the way and helped us carve out our destiny…
Graduation Programs
Deer Path
What an amazing document highlighting very talented classmates Margaret Bakker, Ann Burton, Diana Turpel, Bob Switek, Gary Robertz and Tom Hutton – And a name that brings back very fond memories, Dr. Pearson an absolute prince of a Principal…
Lake Bluff
Kudos to Karen Kwiatt, Mike Rahn and John Horn for being part of the Program – Talk about outstanding achievements, how about the following Citizenship Award winners: DAR to Margaret Dangremond and Tom Hofmaier, American Legion to Bev Hall, Jim Crocker, Lynn Gilchrist and Mike DeHaven and the Orville T Bright Scout Award to Jim Crocker.
Lake Forest High School
Paragraph update coming…
Have you figured out whose mother graduated in the first graduating class of LFHS (“Class of 1936”) – Take a look…
Music Festival Programs
Lake Bluff Junior High School
My takeaways when I look at this program:
- I can actually envision Chris Jennings playing the piano accordion
- What about the Gomez twins providing narration during “Together We Sing”
- How loud was the Bogg’s house with Tim plucking his Bass and Tom banging the drums
- Not unexpected that Blake Allison, Mike DeHaven and John Peterman (60% of The Bachs) would be members of the Special Chorus.
What a great tribute to a very special group of classmates!!!

It’s no wonder I wasn’t musically inclined, not a Johnson anywhere in the program.

A majority of players from Deer Path and a handful from Lake Bluff went on to play for LFHS.
