Class Reunion Meeting

There will be a Class Reunion Meeting on Saturday, May 30 at 1:00 p.m. at Jimmy's in Sidney. If you would like to give your input, please attend. We will decide where we will be having the reunion and what activities to plan for. Everyone is invited.

Reunion Humor

Every five years, as summertime nears, An announcement arrives in the mail, A reunion is planned; it'll be really grand; Make plans to attend without fail.

I'll never forget the first time we met; We tried so hard to impress. We drove fancy cars, smoked big cigars, And wore our most elegant dress.

It was quite an affair; the whole class was there. It was held at a fancy hotel. We wined, and we dined, and we acted refined, And everyone thought it was swell.

The men all conversed about who had been first To achieve great fortune and fame. Meanwhile, their spouses described their fine houses And how beautiful their children became.

The homecoming queen, who once had been lean, Now weighed in at one-ninety-six. The jocks who were there had all lost their hair, And the cheerleaders could no longer do kicks.

No one had heard about the class nerd Who'd guided a spacecraft to the moon; Or poor little Jane, who's always been plain; She married a shipping tycoon.

The boy we'd decreed "most apt to succeed" Was serving ten years in the pen, While the one voted "least" now was a priest; Just shows you can be wrong now and then.

They awarded a prize to one of the guys Who seemed to have aged the least. Another was given to the grad who had driven The farthest to attend the feast.

They took a class picture, a curious mixture Of beehives, crew cuts and wide ties. Tall, short, or skinny, the style was the mini; You never saw so many thighs.

At our next get-together, no one cared whether They impressed their classmates or not. The mood was informal, a whole lot more normal; By this time we'd all gone to pot.

It was held out-of-doors, at the lake shores; We ate hamburgers, coleslaw, and beans. Then most of us lay around in the shade, In our comfortable T-shirts and jeans.

By the fortieth year, it was abundantly clear, We were definitely over the hill. Those who weren't dead had to crawl out of bed, And be home in time for their pill.

And now I can't wait; they've set the date; Our fiftieth is coming, I'm told. It should be a ball, they've rented a hall At the Shady Rest Home for the old.

Repairs have been made on my hearing aid; My pacemaker's been turned up on high. My wheelchair is oiled, and my teeth have been boiled; And I've bought a new wig and glass eye.

I'm feeling quite hearty, and I'm ready to party I'm gonna dance 'til dawn's early light. It'll be lots of fun; But I just hope that there's one Other person who can make it that night

Our 20th In Review

Our 20th Class Reunion had 44 classmates in attendance. Friday was the "get reacquainted" night. Lots of reminicing and a great social time. Saturday was saved for a dinner and a dance. Sunday we had a picnic in the park. I think everyone had a great time.

If you made it to the previous reunions, we hope to see you again. If you haven't been able to attend a reunion, we hope you come to our 30th, I have always enjoyed visiting with classmates that I haven't seen for years, some not since we graduated. After reuniting with some of our classmates, while preparing for our 30th, it has proven to be fruitful as well. If you didn't graduate with us, but left a year or two before - you are more than welcome to join us.

If you are reading this blog, please consider coming. Even though the preparations are still in the early stages, it will be "one more memorable time".

Oh, and don't forget to check back. I just happen to have some photographs from our 20th Reunion.

From SHS 1979 Class Annual

The Senior class spent most of the year preparing for graduation. On May 20, their work proved to be beneficial, when graduation exercises were held for the 128 seniors.

A Note From Luanne Worster-Bobo

Hello All!!

Thanks for the info Lori. Well...I will not be able to make our 30th reunion. We are going on a trip for our 30th wedding anniversary; leaving 9-1 to 9-12. You all enjoy, and I'll be watching the blog for photos. If any of you want to do some catching up, I'd enjoy hearing from you to see what you have been up to! The class of 1979 ROCKS!! Wish I could have seen you all, and I'll be thinking of you!

All my best and take care,

Luanne Worster-Bobo

Have fun in Paris, Luanne! Lori
