Class of 1952 party another great one

Many thanks to Carl Roth and his committee for putting together yet another gathering for the Everett High School Class of 1952.

Though the number of attendees has dropped significantly in past years, those who made it had a great time. Several traveled from out of state. Those who were not with us were missed.

Our old school, now into its 106th year, remains as lovely as it was in 1952.

Now into our 80s, some of us have a few more wrinkles, and additional “hitches in our get-a-longs,” but not to worry. Think positive and keep taking your vitamins, as plans for our 65th reunion in 2017 are in the works, says Carl. He’s looking for ideas of where to hold the festivities, and volunteer help.

In all probability, this will be our last, so let’s make it a “really big show.”
