Enjoying Your 50th Reunion

One way to have a good time is by taking a chance on winning one of our unique raffle items, like this felted Icelandic wool purse handmade by Janice Dick Drummey.

Our 50th Class Reunion is rapidly approaching and we hope you are preparing for a good time with friends and former classmates. You can help yourself have a more memorable journey in time and place by doing some of the following:

* Looking at the pages of your 1960 Argus before the reunion. You can't expect people to look like that after 50 years, but reviewing the photos in the Argus will remind you of people you might want to seek out at the reunion.

* Introducing your spouse or guest to classmates who may share similar hobbies or life experiences.

* Taking a camera so you can share some photos with family and friends back home, or to send us digital images for posting to the GHS Web Log

* Collecting a FEW photos of home, family, or hobbies to share with classmates. This may be especially important if you have recently retired, relocated or purchased a brand new Harley.

* Carrying extra cash for all those little unexpected purchases you might make, including a class photo and raffle tickets.

* Taking time to chat with people you didn't know very well in high school, but with whom you may have developed similar interests or opinions over the years.

* Don't forget to pack your sense of humor. There are always a lot of things that can go wrong and not meet your expectations. You can't expect to recognize everyone by name, and they may not even remember you, either. A room may be crowded. A dinner table may be full. Someone may have taken the last scallop wrapped in bacon. Plus, it could rain. Hey, we are all still here, aren't we? Let's party.
