Looking
back, our first reunion, 20 years after graduation, was the most exciting
for many of us. We were eager to hear about and see the changes that
the years had wrought. The event, organized by a committee of devoted
classmates in Clarksburg, was held on July 10th and llth of
July at the Stonewall Jackson Hotel. On Saturday night, our toastmaster,
Browning Boggs, began the evening’s program by introducing speakers, Kenneth
Cubbon, Miss Robinson, and Mr. Duckworth. Next, we were entertained with
poetry and song. An original poem by our class valedictorian, Janice Ferrell
Brown, was read. A group of classmates called “The Graduates” sang two
parodies written by Carolyn Moore O’Neil to the tunes of
“Those Were the Days”
and “Try to Remember”. The “Rhythmaires”
provided dance music that, at one point in the evening, inspired Violet
Lee and Neil Henshaw to perform an uninhibited Greek handkerchief dance
as seen in the movie, “Never on Sunday”. Neil added to the authenticity
of their dance by stripping to the waist and rolling on the floor! Last
but not least, kudos should go to the preparers of the “Reunion Yearbook”
which was a superb compilation of current pictures of classmates and their
families. (Photo and historical information contributed by B. Boggs.)
