To celebrate its 50th
anniversary, Maine South High School recently inducted three of its
most distinguished graduates, a group that included former first lady
and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, into a newly dedicated
wall of honor.
The festivities celebrating the Park Ridge school's 50th year, which
kicked off on homecoming week, were highlighted by the wall of fame
inductees being honored late last month at a dinner at the Park Ridge
County Club.
While Clinton couldn't appear, fellow inductees Patricia Callahan
and Nathan Hultman attended the dinner, which was hosted by Maine South
High School and Maine Township District 207's Educational Foundation.
Clinton, who sent a video
greeting. was represented at the event by Betsy Ebeling, her longtime
friend and an Arlington Heights resident.
A member of Maine South's first graduating class of 1965 and also a
former presidential candidate, Clinton was honored for "her long and
considerable service to the country and her work protecting children and
women's rights," according to a District 207 release.
