Welcome to the Class of 1960 Website!
We are the class that started the sixties. We made it all
the way through high school without McDonald's or Burger King!
 We had to eat lunch
on campus, and fast food was a baloney sandwich and a carton of milk. Try telling that to
your kids and grandkids!
We were innocent --
well, mostly. We thought we were sooooooo grown up, but now we
know we were children. That's easy to figure when you look back at
our old annuals. Who WERE those people? Why do they look so
different when we see them now?
Dwight Eisenhower was our president. JFK hadn't
been elected yet, much less assassinated. We hadn't put a man on the
moon, and practically nobody had microwaves.
We wouldn't go back if we could, but every now and
then, it's fun to take a walk down "memory lane" -- down the
stardust trail, where the deep purple falls over sleepy garden
walls. We were the lucky ones. Mr. Wyatt was our principal, and most
of us realized even back then how special that made us. We knew he
missed his son, and when that announcement would come over the PA
system, usually during 6th period when you were getting sleepy and
antsy and wished the school day was over, there would be Mr. Wyatt
playing "Stardust." Then you got to leave early, and you felt
somehow connected to the past.
That's what this website is about -- connecting to
our past. Remembering the ones we hung out with who are no longer
around. Honoring our teachers. Sharing the lives we've lived for
fifty years since graduation night, 1960.
Our 50th reunion celebration has come
and gone, but the reuniting has just begun. |
