Addison Trail begins yearlong 50th anniversary celebration

On July 29 and 30, Addison Trail began its yearlong 50th anniversary celebration with a golf outing and a hockey game.

More than 80 people attended the golf outing, including Village of Addison Mayor Rich Veenstra, former Village of Addison Mayor Larry Hartwig and Village of Addison Trustee Harry Theodore. The event took place at Indian Lakes Golf Course in Bloomingdale. Despite inclement weather, Addison Trail alumni and friends, as well as administrators from the school and District 88, enjoyed a fun gathering and dinner.

The 50th Anniversary Alumni Hockey Game featured two games (divided by graduation year). In the first game, the Orange Team beat the White Team 9 to 3. In the second game, the Orange Team beat the White Team 8 to 7. Gary Gould, who coached the Addison Hockey Team from 1973 to 1979, was there to cheer on his former players.
