Principal Walseth
Image

Ever wonder what happened to Mr. Walseth?  His last year at CHS was our last year at CHS and then he became the Principal at Oconomowoc High School in Wisconsin. 



 
The reason we knows this is because Mark Knudsen married a girl that went to Oconomowoc High!  Small world.  Thought you might find it interesting.  Thanks Mark!
 
So, of course, I had to see where he was now.  He is now the Superintendent in Brainerd, Minnesota.  You could even email him if you'd like - jerry.walseth@brainerd.k12.mn.us

Reunion Music

We all love music and so many songs remind us of growing up.  Isn't it funny how you can hear a song and be immediately transported to that time? 

We need your help.  We have 3 events that need music.

1. Parade - Donnie needs to put together a CD of 10 or so songs for the parade.  Please let him know if you have suggestions - Donnie_Bryntesen@missionfoods.com

2.
Thursday night at BRIX - Bring your iPods!  We can hook them into the sound system.  I already set up a "CHS Reunion" playlist in my iTunes and have been adding fun 80s music.  Do you want to hear any new music?  Some of the new music makes me feel old - I don't know much of the new stuff so load what you want to hear or email with suggestions.  I have a pretty large music collection.  I spent my hard earned 'Lil Bear and Cricket's money on cassettes and CDs instead of clothes!  :)

3. Cruise - We have a DJ and need some requests!  80s?  Mix of everything?  You can put requests in the comments to the blog or email to me. 

I added a second poll question.

Also, if you hadn't noticed, there is a playlist on the homepage of our website with 39 songs in it that I set up a couple of months ago for your listening pleasure….

Website - Sound Alert

Hi guys. 
Just wanted to let you know that I put music back onto the website so turn down the volume if you open at work.

We had "Glory Days" by Bruce Springsteen playing for the first few 2-3 months and then took the music off.  Decided it was time to add some tunes and spice it up a bit.

Now Playing………The CHS Fight Song by the CHS Band!  Seriously!  I love the internet.  You can find just about anything.

Let me know what you want to hear and I can change it easily.  I just need an MP3 file.  It only plays on the homepage.

Image

 **NEW INFO**
Hats = $20
T-Shirts = $20
Sweatshirts = $35-$50 (Embroidered ones are $50)
Lanyards = $7
He also has misc. items.

-Still waiting on exact details of location of Viking Mobile-


**********************************************
6/17/2008 - Blog
Can anyone fit into their old CHS gear? You probably need new stuff after 20 years anyway, right? Each time I make it back to Cd'A, I look for stuff and it is hard to find.

Russ Giles (Class of 1987) runs the new Viking Mobile for the Viking Booster Club. They don't have a website set up yet so now is your chance to buy up all of the Viking attire you can get your hands on. Russ is hoping to get me a photo or two to show some examples, however, he said he has lots of t-shirts, sweatshirts, hats, etc.

He is planning to set up the Viking Mobile at/or near the 4th of July parade on Friday morning. Probably down by the IGA. I will let you know the details when I have them.

Go Vikings! :)

P.S. 16 Days until Reunion!

CHS Tour/Open House on July 3rd 10am-2pm!!!
The Former Pits!! :( The tile on the floor marks where the pits used to be. The pits were cool.

***NEW EVENT JUST ADDED***

When is the last time you stepped foot inside Coeur d'Alene High School?  June 1988?  Would you like a chance to roam around the place and reminisce?  Show your family where you went to school?  Did you know that they remodeled the place and THE PITS ARE GONE?  :(   In the 700 building there are now doors and walls!  Remember sitting in amphitheater type "rooms" with partitions up like we were in a huge cubicle?  There are also no breezeways between classes now!  Winters were always tough because we'd wear coats to school, leave them in our lockers in the commons and go back and forth to class without coats in the cold.  The Idaho school designed by a California architect.  :)

Want to check it out in person?  Now is your chance!  

Thursday, July 3rd from 10am-2pm

It is the only time that we could squeeze it in over the holiday weekend so our apologies if it does not work into your travel plans.  Thank you to Kris Hinz who made the special arrangements for us! 

Kris will be at the school to "host" and has requested additional help.  Could we get some volunteers to host the open house with Kris?  Would be great to have a couple other "locals" help her out.

If you are interested in attending the CHS Open House and getting a tour, please RSVP on the website.  This is simply to get an idea of how many are interested.

Just in case you have forgotten how to yet there….5530 N 4th Street.

PREVIOUS OPEN HOUSE:
The high school did an open house for "CHS 100th Birthday Party Weekend" in July 2005.  It was a lot of fun.  There are many changes.  You can see some of the pictures in the photo album on the site.

Golf Anyone?
Image

Anyone want to play golf 4th of July weekend? There was a little chatter on the message boards in February, however, not many people seem to use the message boards so wanted to follow up with an email.

Russ Giles (Class of 1987) is the Tournament Coordinator/Corporate Sales at the Cd'A Resort Golf Course. I just spoke to him and he can extend our class an invitation for a deal to those that arrive early or live close. As you know, this is the busy and expensive time of the season in Cd'A, however, he said, "On the last day of June [Monday, June 30th], I can extend a $99 rate after 2:30pm. That is still full 18 holes of golf. There are some times left. Let me know cause they are open to the public. Normal rates this time a year is $270."

He also mentioned that those staying at the Resort, get $50 off of the day rate so a round would be $220. You should make your tee times soon.

If you are interested in golfing on Monday, June 30th for $99 after 2:30pm, please contact him ASAP to get a tee time. Contact him at (208) 667-GOLF or (800) 935-6283 or rgiles@cdaresort.com.

***For those that want to golf, but think that $270 is a little high (like me!), please add suggestions (in the comments) of when and where to play or if anyone has connections at courses to get us a group deal. Thanks!
