Class reunion attendees tell us that the music from the fifties and sixties that is often playing in the background helps set a memorable tone for our reunions. The following tunes were popular hits on the radio in 1959, including the spring of our Junior year at Gardner High School. These are not listed in any particular order. How many of them do you remember? Is there one for which you can still remember some of the lyrics?

I Only Have Eyes for You - The Flamingos
Mack the Knife - Bobby Darin
