45th class reunion, July 6, 2002

I have a few candid shots of this reunion, but they are really poor. It was my first attempt at using a digital camera. Anyone have some? It was a joint reunion with the class of 1956. If it weren't for the sign, I'd have no evidence.

A successful reunion

The Mt. Morris High School class of 1957 had a wonderful reunion on Monday evening, July 2, 2007, at the White Pines. And a good time was had by all. I'll post some photos here. If you want to e-mail some of yours, send them to Sylvia or me. She can sort through and decide on dups.



The hard working committee made up of the locally available classmates provided a booklet, displays, round tables so we didn't have to eat cafeteria style, table decorations, special faculty guests, a program, a class photo, and lots of time for socializing. Our class was well stocked with funny people, so there were lots of laughs.

This was a display of "old" photos, and the scrapbook in front is a meticulously kept "archive" of our class activities and reunions during the last 50 years kept by Nancy S. An amazing feat!

Diane B., John T. (spouse), Marian D., Sharon G., Lynne F.

Francine K., Bob C., Priscilla D., Nancy L.

Tina K. and Norma C. and husbands

Doree D. and Carol S. from class of 58 "crashing our party!" How exciting to see them, too.


Sarah Y. and Dave B. probably talking basketball.

Former teachers who attended the reunion were Warren and Carol Reckmeyer, Ray and Esther Appler and Katie Dirksen. Photo sent by Nancy S.

This isn't the "official" portrait, but I think you can see we were a happy bunch. Click to enlarge. I don't have my editing software on this computer.

The way we were

This is our 1987 class reunion. I may have to rescan it. Nancy sent it to me and it only had 1 dpi. Friends of the class of 1957: the next time we have a photo taken, please take off your glasses if they change to dark in the sunlight! We look like a group of bumblebees!

That was my very favorite dress of my adult life--worst year, but best dress. Fashion went down hill in the 90s, and really hasn't recovered.

Our second class reunion

The Mt. Morris High School graduating class of 1957 held its 10 year reunion at the Mt. Morris VFW on July 1, 1967 with 30 of the class members present, along with friends, husbands and wives. Dancing and reminiscing followed the smorgasboard and program. Members had come from as far away as Hawaii (stationed in the Navy), Texas, and California to attend.

Today's quiz: Who is the mystery woman in the back row hidden by Jean's head? How many years before the guys would be trading those skinny ties for fat ones? Our first guest and commenter was a member of what very famous class of MMHS?
