Alumni 50th Reunion

Class Year: 1959

Reunion Date: August 2009

 

Up

A weekend of events brought together the Class of '59 for its Big Five-Oh (50th) reunion. Friday evening classmates gathered at the Oregon Garden for the alumni dinner and auction. This year Gail Jacobsen Kirsch pulled together a basket of memories for bidding. Among the many items:  Jack Hande books of Silverton stories, old metal roller skates WITH the key, gums and candies of our era (remember Black Jack and Beamans?), and a Cheech/Chong CD, "Senior Trip" - or what chaperones should be glad never happened on OUR senior trip!
