- CLASS OF 1963 – This year we are the “50th Anniversary Class”….. a fact that I’m really having trouble wrapping my mind around. How about you? How could that be possible? As some would say, “That’s a lot of water over the dam!” |
Elementary school was fun and we were soaking up learning like little sponges. I remember Mrs. Mull’s 3rd grade in particular. If I shut my eyes I can see many of my classmates and how we were seated. Recess was on the playground equipment behind the school towards the Queen Anne. In 6th grade a small group of girls, myself included, decided that it would be fun to experiment with some lipstick so we all shared a tube. Imagine our chagrin when we were escorted to the bathroom in the back of the class, handed Kleenex and told to remove it ASAP. That was followed by a stern warning, “We do NOT wear lipstick in Mrs. ____’s 6th grade!!!” I think I still have dreams about that fiasco. Betty Jean Brannon Mason |

Did You Know – The Alumni dinner for 2013 costs us an average of about $30.00. Our cost includes the dinner, sales tax, gratuity, and hors d’oeuvres. Not included in this price is any entertainment we might have. In addition to our Banquet, we also publish and send a newsletter to H-L Alumni. Last year's postage was over $500.00. Address labels, ink for the labels, edge tabs and paper was about $150.00. It is getting hard hold our cost down while providing every Alumni an opportunity to get together and share memories. Please help us to provide our Alumni an opportunity to gather, reminisce, and have an enjoyable event at a reasonable cost. |

Our class of 1959 celebrated 50 years with a reunion at the American Legion in the fall of 2009. It was very well attended. We have always had a large number attend the annual alumni banquets. We have gotten together for lunch at various classmates’ homes for several years. Sandra Washburn Parker and her husband Ken have had us to their home in Bolton for a “bring a dish” meal several times which included a ride in their boat on Lake George which Ken narrated several points of interest. We’ve also gone to lunch at several area restaurants and even drove to Bennington, Vermont to meet halfway with Charlie and Leigh Fosberry who live in New Hampshire. We always have a great time. These get togethers have kept us close and in touch with our classmates’ lives. I would highly recommend other classes try the same if they aren’t already. You’ll be glad you did.
