Edition No. 702 June

COUNTDOWN! Just
two months to the upcoming 50th Class Reunion planned for August 3rd & 4th!
Be sure to check out all the latest information
on the '50th reunion' pages:
Number of classmates who have responded
to date, a list of those coming on Sat. night, etc.
THE WEBSITE is still under construction! Uploading of the pictures taken on Saturday night
of the 45th reunion is now under way - check them out and familiarlize yourself with classmates so you will recognize them
in August! Some of us have REALLY changed since 1957 :o)
THE REUNION COMMITTEE
Your committee has now finalized MOST of the details of the reunion.
All the information, reservation forms, etc., can be found on the 50th Reunion Pages. You can also view a list (updated
weekly) of those classmates who have made their dinner reservations for Saturday night on those pages.
We were recently given quite a bit of memorabilia found in storage
at the high school and some donated by Don Zinn. Hazel Boles Miller is enlisting volunteers to help assemble display
boards to be set up both at the mixer on Friday night at the Riverside Country Club and at the dinner on Saturday night at
Battle Creek Country Club.
DINNER RESERVATIONS Letters were mailed out the 1st week of April, so
if you have not received yours, please contact us and provide your current mailing and/or email address.
REUNION BOOK The price of
the reunion book remains the same, at $10.00. It is hoped that those classmates who cannot attend the reunion will want
to send a greeting to classmates in the form of a small ad in the reunion booklet. The members of the book committee
will be more than happy to help you write the ad/greeting. Just fill in the ad form found here on the website and forward
it with the reservation/book order form and let us know if you want us to write the ad for you.
Please be sure to send us a recent photo to be included in the reunion booklet. The book
committee is working hard to be sure that all classmates will be included in this 50th edition.
THURSDAY, AUGUST 2
There are usually a few small groups of gals (old
friends) that get together at house parties on the Thursday before the reunion and, for the rest of the out-of-town 'girls'
who will be in town a day early, the July Girls' Nite Out dinner will be moved to:
Aug. 2nd, 6:00 pm at
the Hunt Club
544 W. Columbia Ave.
You are all invited to come join us - the regulars - we
always have a chatty good time!
FRIDAY BOX LUNCH & SUNDAY BRUNCH
Jean Lewis Price and Joan Lewis Rapp have planned a Box Lunch get together at Willard Park
Pavilion on Friday, August 3rd at noon and have also arranged for a brunch to be held at the new Holiday Inn on
Sunday, August 5th at 11:00 am.
This picture was taken a couple of weeks ago - these gals get together
every other spring for a week or so, in Florida, to renew those old friendships.
