Memorable Class: Liked them all-but especially Mr. Wilkins speech classes.  It was all the laughs we had as Hollander, Denbow, Sulser, Swingle, Conklin, Pawka, Reichert, Johns, Galovic and others tried to see how riled and off the subject matter we could get Mr. Wilkins. We all just "fed off" the others personalities and humor-little did Wilkins know that he would have so many "class clowns" at one time in the same class !!!!!!!

Memorable Event: The class plays. "Our Town", Diary of Anne Frank", Teahouse of the August Moon".  It was all the hard work that went into the productions, all the laughs we had at rehearsals and after rehearsals, and then the thrill of everybody working as a team and watching the final curtain come down-and the applause from the audience verifying that all the time and long hours were worthwhile.!!!!!

Memorable teacher: I liked everyone of them.  We were very lucky to have such quality teachers who cared so much about their students. We all should be grateful.

Comments:

I have only made one reunion-the 15 year(1979). Everyone said I had a good time!!!! My work schedule has kept me from attending other more recent ones. I would really like to attend the next one. Have been in contact with a few classmates. Was surprised by Terry Denbow in 2000 when he walked onto my tennis court at Saddlebrook-he was here for a convention. Also had Greg McClure's son on my tennis court here(2001) and talked to Greg on the phone. Talked to Howard Healy last year also. Have also been in contact with another former classmate the last 2 months. The years are going by quicker now but the high school memories will always remain vivid as though it were just yesterday!!! What great times those were and how naive and innocent we were (well at least some of us Hollander !!!!) Would like to thank the site manager for putting this web site together so we can keep in touch with our former classmates. Great Job.!!! I look forward to seeing some of you in the future.
