Our 65th class reunion was a great success!
Held October 4, 2024
Brunch was served at the old MMHS Cafeteria
Brunch was provided by: https://jensbread.com
Classmates shared memories as well as their favorite MMHS keepsakes including yearbooks, photos,etc.
Stan and Casey's daughter, Amy said, "I think that everyone had a great time at the reunion, there were many laughs, hugs, and stories going around. The speakers were very good and the food was fabulous! I think it was extra special to be able to get together and celebrate at the same cafeteria where you all spent so much time together!
These 65th reunion photos were provided courtesy of Amy:
You may recall that the food served in the cafeteria back in the 50s never looked quite this good. Sigh.
Remembering past reunions...

A little nostalgia
Several years ago a Facebook posting prompted Don Snodgrass to search for a video filmed in Mount Morris in 1957. He finally found the video at https://youtube/5GTRdPsZxrc buried in an old archive and decided to post it here. Watch it closely and you will recognize many familiar faces including Lou Behrens who plays the part of the hired recreation superintendent. Superficially, you may find it corny at best. Nonetheless, it reminds us just how fortunate we to have lived it.
