Aloha!!!
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 dimmed down the light,
