Mrs. Pat Meads and her sister who are all excellent cooks and gracious hostesses catered the occasion.
Each member of the class enjoyed seeing each other and getting up to date as to where they live and current activities.
There were several people that helped to get all of the planning for the event which were, Jimmy Doyle Pollard; Fabert Davis; Rodney Daffron; Barbara Guthrie and Martha Gail Hathcox.
Special music was furnished by Jerry Neal White, who played many of the 50’s songs on he piano, such as: “Last Date”, “Down Yonder” and also the Alma Mater.
