YEAR 2009
Friday, May 1, 2009 and Saturday, May 2, 2009	55TH LHS CLASS of 1954 REUNION--2009  Watch for Future Details

Class Reunion      Every ten years, as summertime nears,  An announcement arrives in the mail,  A reunion is planned; it'll be really grand;  Make plans to attend without fail.  I'll never forget the first time we met;  We tried so hard to impress.  We drove fancy cars, smoked big cigars,  And wore our most elegant dress.  It was quite an affair; the whole class was there.  It was held at a fancy hotel.  We wined, and we dined, and we acted refined,  And everyone thought it was swell.  The men all conversed about who had been first  To achieve great fortune and fame.  Meanwhile, their spouses described their fine houses  And how beautiful their children became.  The homecoming queen, who once had been lean,  Now weighed in at one-ninety-six.  The jocks who were there had all lost their hair,  And the cheerleaders could no longer do kicks.  No one had heard about the class nerd  Who'd guided a spacecraft to the moon;  Or poor little Jane, who's always been plain;  She married a shipping tycoon.  The boy we'd decreed "most apt to succeed"  Was serving ten years in the pen,  While the one voted "least" now was a priest;  Just shows you can be wrong now and then.  They awarded a prize to one of the guys  Who seemed to have aged the least.  Another was given to the grad who had driven  The farthest to attend the feast.  They took a class picture, a curious mixture  Of beehives, crew cuts and wide ties.  Tall, short, or skinny, the style was the mini;  You never saw so many thighs.  At our next get-together, no one cared whether  They impressed their classmates or not.  The mood was informal, a whole lot more normal;  By this time we'd all gone to pot.  It was held out-of-doors, at the lake shores;  We ate hamburgers, coleslaw, and beans.  Then most of us lay around in the shade,  In our comfortable T-shirts and jeans.  By the fortieth year, it was abundantly clear,  We were definitely over the hill.  Those who weren't dead had to crawl out of bed,  And be home in time for their pill.  And now I can't wait as they've set the date;  Our fiftieth is coming, I'm told.  It should be a ball, they've rented a hall  At the Shady Rest Home for the old.  Repairs have been made on my old hearing aid;  My pacemaker's been turned up on high.  My wheelchair is oiled, and my teeth have been boiled;  And I've bought a new wig and glass eye.  I'm feeling quite hearty; I'm ready to party,  I'll dance until dawn's early light.  It'll be lots of fun; and I hope at least one  Other person can make it that night.  Author Unknown

Web Reference Information on the Web Old Classmate? Have you been guilty of looking at others your own age and thinking...surely I cannot look that old?  You may enjoy this short story, which could be true.... While waiting for my first appointment in the reception room of a new dentist, I noticed his certificate, which bore his full name. Suddenly, I remembered that a tall, handsome boy with the same name had been in my high school class some 50 years ago.   Upon seeing him, however, I quickly discarded any such thought. This balding, gray-haired man with the deeply lined face was way too old to have been my classmate. After he had examined my teeth, I asked him if he had attended LHS.  "Yes," he replied.  "When did you graduate?" I asked. He answered, "In 1954. Why?"  "You were in my class!" I exclaimed. He looked at me closely and then asked, "What did you teach?" Courtesy of Nancy Abbott Loveless
