A Final Word

From your reunion committee

To all of our classmates


“Wonderful” does not do justice to the whirlwind of a weekend we spent together 

celebrating 55 years of a shared past. 

For those of you who were unable to attend, we promise you were missed. 


One of our dear classmates was so happy she felt encouraged enough by 

classmates to attend her first reunion. She said she will be at every other 

one in the future. And that, dear friends, is why folks call and email and 

urge you to attend or stay in touch. As the years go by, and more time is 

spent in thought, we recognize more than ever how much that is true. 

Even if an occasional email, PLEASE stay in touch. You ARE missed. 

You are a part of us.


Each reunion we have attended has had a different feel. 

As we age, our perspectives shift. Looking back, many of us were in 

school together longer than others - some  from kindergarten onward. 

Many of us played together in common neighborhoods even before that. 

Some of us became part of the shared scene later, at various stages. 

But each of us brought different gifts to the collective. 

And it is that collective we celebrate when we come together at these reunion events. 


There are men reminiscing about their sporting feats. There are women 

reminiscing about their lack of sporting opportunities. There are others laughing 

about the almighty cliques amongst our adolescent selves: Collegiates, Jocks, 

Floaters, Loners, Hoods, Dramas and on and on. 

There are conversations about what we would do differently as teenagers 

and how that influenced the raising of our own children. 

There are conversations about children and grand children and beloved pets. 

There are conversations about our health and ailments and how our attitudes 

shape their effects on us. And of course, there are those more difficult 

conversations about our losses. And we’ve all had them by now. Sadly. 


But what we do not hear when we gather are conversations that exclude or 

diminish or make folks feel uncomfortable. We have grown up. 

Maybe not completely. We still have a childlike desire to have fun and 

be silly and feel carefree. And of course, we still have opinions. 

The difference is we know that others do as well. And by now we have learned 

to temper our reactions with respect. 


The way we see it is our shared past has created a family of cousins. 

We may not always see each other, but we dare say, we’ll always 

be there for one another. And through the years and the many 

distractions of life that may have kept us apart, we feel a renewed sense of 

appreciation at each of the reunions we’ve been lucky enough to attend. 

And what makes this “family” even stronger are the loved ones of classmates 

who have further enriched our lives with their presence. 


The good news is we will not have to wait another five years to reunite. 

We will start planning events at two-year intervals. 

What would you enjoy? Please share your ideas. 

And bless each and every one of you who came this past 

weekend and those who we missed, but were in our hearts.    


Photos are being added to a new photo website (sooner or later it will replace the Photobucket photo web site). It is a work in process, but there are many pictures from the Reunion Weekend ready to view.

A Poem for our Class by Paul Edwards

  

For Those Who Left School Early


Waking in the morning

With the night tugging at me,

I go to school where

Glassmanor apartments and

River Houses come together


Everyone is in their spot

As a slow cruise begins

I never knew where I stood

Collegiate or Block?


Everyone of you was a star

In my first movie

But I didn’t have a camera.

I didn’t need one at the ABC Drive-In.


The theater was on Indian Head Highway

Named after the last nickel

I had in my pocket

But laughter is free

And I laughed so much

It drowned out the teachers sometimes.


In such a hurry to grow up,

I constantly tripped over myself

Eventually stumbling into the right girl.

I’m so lucky when I think of my friends.

I always see them as they were

The first day we met.


Some were girls who didn’t know

How paisley beautiful they were.

Now they can see in the yearbook.

The guys had chrome steel hearts

That could last a thousand years.


All we wanted to sing was

‘We Gotta Get Out of This Place’

By Eric Burdon and the Animals

But the principal wouldn’t let us.

How did he know we’d want to come back?


Let me get to the cinder track

And run a six minute mile like Coach said.

Let me dance in the cafeteria.

Let me huddle by the bridge

Where teenage dreams collided.


It was only three small years

Such a small slice of time

But it has lasted us this long

Let me drift through you

For just one night

And feel that day again


Sweet memories have to be taken in sips

So raise a glass to all those 

Who left school early

And tell them to wait for us

In front of the lockers

At the edge of the glass walkway

High above the ground

Where sunlight steams through

Letting us know

That even winter can be warm.


Dedicated to my friend Chuck Morse sometimes known as Ranger
