Our school reunion is next Saturday and I’m excited! A few of us started a Facebook page for ex-students earlier this year and we’ve had a great time sharing and catching up.
Are you wondering why it is not labeled a class reunion? The problem with that is this was a rural school and at times only a handful of kids in each class. Then you throw in the fact my alma mater originated as a consolidation of several even smaller schools and then finally closed altogether due to another consolidation and you end up with very few students total that ever graced the halls.
I posted several scanned photos this afternoon and included this one of our class officers with our sponsor.
It was pointed out to me, and rightfully so, how ‘happy we all looked’! Right! I blamed it on the sun in our eyes or being told to climb the slide. In truth, it was probably just eighth grade attitude! I’m that skinny freak at the top with short hair in case you wanted to know.
For those of you who have followed my ramblings on the old blog, my classmates no longer with us are on either side of me. It was a pleasure to see them as I turned those well loved pages today.
