GHS Class of 1961~50th Reunion

The Reunion has come and gone, but without a doubt, the classmates enjoyed being with each other.
They will be ready for another party in 2016, just 5 years from now.  There was a great turn out! Only one who had planned to come didn't make it, one who came had to leave early.  The two remaining teachers, Bob Barton and James L. Bogue and his wife Barbara were able to come, and didn't seem as 'old' as they were when they were teaching the class of  '61. It was a delight to have Mrs. Ruby Johnson (widow of Troy Johnson-math teacher).  The class of '61 is very appreciative of the great venue for our gathering.  Holly Springs Baptist Church was the perfect location for our party, and it was a beautiful, comfortable place to swap stories from school days all the way to the present time.  Thank you for sharing your wonderful facility with us.

Class members who attended:  Mary Ann (Harris) Swartz, Barbara (Boatman) Moore, Barbara Ann (Hogan) Corley, Tutts Stoddard, Martha (Corley) Royall, Mike Schneider, Jimmy Ray Cranford, Mary Lee (Chandler) Spratt, Johnnie Ruth (Lee) Jopling, Eugene Crawford, Wayne Hartt, Wayne Prince, Gwen (Weatherly) Wilkinson, Geneva (Stewart) Jones, Morris Hutto, Selma (Bell) Anderson, Perry Honea, Linda Lou (Langford) Yarbrough, Marie Nell (Wheeler) Henderson.

Attention: GHS Class of 1961
Hello Bulldogs!
Can you believe that the 50th year since we graduated from GHS is here?  How in the world did that happen so fast? 

                         
This is the 50th anniversary of our GRADUATION!  Several of us met and REUNION PLANS ARE UNDERWAY! 
Our reunion is scheduled for:

Saturday, May 14, 2011 
Time TBA
Holly Springs Baptist Church Fellowship Hall, 
Highway 59     






so..... rest up to be sure nap time doesn’t interfere...   :-)                                      
                                                     
Until then, you should be thinking about the GHS years.  If you have pictures or scrapbooks/memorabilia to share, get them out and dusted off so they will be ready to bring so we can all enjoy them.  We'll want to know what you have done and where you have been in the last 50 years too, so collect some photos/scrapbooks etc. from your life for the last 50 years to share with your GHS classmates.  Also, if you have any input as to what else we can do to insure that this is a celebration to remember, please let the committee know so it can be incorporated into the festivities!  One thing you can all do is check the list of classmates to see who we plan to contact if we can find them... If you know someone else, let us know... if you have contact info on any of the listed ones who have **... (email, snail mail, ph. #) please contact them by forwarding this information, then send the contact information to us so they will receive all further details.  


Everyone make plans to be at the reunion to make  up for lost time by spending some time visiting with your classmates!  


A few shots from the last time we celebrated... it was 40 years then!
          










































Forever Be Bulldogs!
