Reunion Program - July 2, 2011

Thanks to Mary D. and to Evan, our Master of Ceremonies, our dinner was followed by reminisces and memories from several of our classmates.  Evan provided a humorous overview and a special trivia quiz.



Gary Cooney reminded us of the sports accomplishments of the Class of 1961.  Among these were being co-winners of the football conference, Gary winning the State 50 yard dash, and Jim Freeze placing in the shot put at State.

Claudia had prepared memorials for the classmates who have passed away and shared them with us.

Lenny provided a salute to our classmates who have served in the military.  There have been ten who served in the different services.





Sheryl and Rich lead us in singing the Iowa Valley/Marengo Fight Song and then our class song - with updated lyrics!  My apologies to both of them; I was busy singing along and missed getting a picture of them.  Did anyone get a picture we can use here?

Thank you to everyone for a great evening!  It was a great program and a great reunion!

Great Times at Phat Daddys!

There was a good turnout from the Class of 1961, and some from other classes, for our get-together at Fat Daddys.  Hope to see you at the tours today and the reunion tonight for more!

From the 45th Reunion

While we don't have a group photo from the 45th reunion (yet - hint, hint!), thanks to David Schafbuch we do have a picture showing some of the good times.  I'm sure the 50th will be even better!

Faculty

We were blessed to have a friendly and supportive faculty for our classes.  Thanks to Linda Gates Kamp we have a candid photo of some of them before class.

Junior Class Play

Thanks to Linda Gates Kamp, we have a couple of pictures from the Junior Class Play for your enjoyment and amazement.  Do you remember what the play was and who these people are?

2001 at Lake Iowa

Thanks to Mary D. for this picture from the 2001 (40th) gathering at Lake Iowa, Iowa County Park.  My apologies for not posting it when she first sent it to me.  I must have been still recovering from the holidays (New Years Day) at the time.  I'm told everyone in the picture really did have a great time.

You can also see this picture on the Reunions page.

Another of Our Memorable Years - 1996 = 35th Reunion Year

Another quiz for our class.  Can you put names with these faces?  Thanks again to Evan we have some pictures from when we were juniors.

Past Class Pictures - 6th Grade and Senior Class Pictures

Thanks to Evan, we have copies of some of our class pictures!  First, some of us in 6th grade (1954-1955 if my math is correct) along with some members of that years 5th grade class.  This was when we had Miss Heiberger as our teacher.  Can you identify everyone?

And this is the senior class picture.  No points for identifying people in this one.  Although the labels were blurry by the time I blew them up enough to read!

For both of these pictures you can click on the picture to see a larger version by itself and then click again to zoom in.

Does anyone have additional class pictures or reunion pictures they could share?   We would like to include them.  Thanks for your help.
