Will Rogers Community Foundation
To Support School's New Mission
Be sure to check out the Will Rogers High School Community
Foundation, Inc., a non-profit entity to provide educational
support and assistance for students and faculty, physical
improvements to the school, and to fund special projects
benefiting the direct functions of the school. In the 70 years
since the school opened, it has been without a mechanism
that works in coordination with the school administration to
draw direct financial support from the private sector and the
graduates and friends of the school.

We are taking over the entire newly redecorated Hotel Campbell,
formally the Hotel Casa Loma for our reunion festivities. This
Hotel built in 1927 and on the National Historic Register has
been completely modernized and redecorated this year. The
Hotel was the home of the 2011 Designer Showcase with each of
the 26 rooms decorated by a different designer. The Hotel is
located on East 11th Street across from the former site of the
Royal Movie Theatre that many of us were familiar with. Friday
night's festivities will be held in the hotel's new event center.
Saturday night will feature a cookout at Tulsa Country Club.

in Tulsa and Will Rogers High School, including
scenes at favorite places such as the Admiral
Twin, Pennington's, Angel's, Cotton's, the strip
pits, etc., etc. -- and of course Will Rogers.
