You bet! .Ela High School built in the 1920's from which my mother and her siblings (Fehlman family from Long Grove) graduated, my siblings and I and many of our cousins graduated as did our children. 3 generations of my family called this 'our school'. This is the cover of my graduating class. The class of 1952 by which time the High School was called Ela-Vernon due to consolidation. Our class will be gathering in Lake Zurich in celebration of our 60th anniversary on September 7,8,9.
