The committee hopes that you had as much fun at this Reunion as we did planning for it.  There’s a special bond between classmates that one never forgets.  By joining together for this special occasion, we strengthen that bond by reminiscing those cherished times of our high school years and the happenings in our lives since then.   God bless you all!

                                                                            CLASS REUNION

                                    It was my class reunion

                                                And all through the house,

                                    I checked in each mirror

                                                And begged my poor spouse

                                    To say I looked great, that

                                                My chin wasn’t double,

                                    And he lied through false teeth

                                                Just to stay out of trouble!

                                    Said that ‘neath my thick glasses

                                                My eyes hadn’t changed

                                    And I had the same figure,

                                                Just a mite “rearranged!”

                                    I swallowed his words ---

                                                Hook, sinker, and line,

                                    And entered the banquet

                                                Feeling just fine.

                                    Somehow I expected my

                                                Classmates to stay

                                    As young as they were on

                                                That long-ago day.

                                    I liked their warm hugs

                                                But could see through the years,

                                    They’d added gray hair

                                                Plus pounds to their rears!

                                    Yet, as we shared memories

                                                And retold old jokes,

                                    We were eighteen in spirit

                                                Though looked like our folks!

                                    So we turned up our “ear-aids,”

                                                And dimmed down the light,

                                    Yes, we rolled back the years

                                                And were young for the night!
