Friendship Day assemblies ... pep club buses... morning announcements over the P.A. which we never heard!!! Same of the best memories were of our winning sports teams. We had the best season record in football since 1956 and to date. We took the Metro in basketball. It was a first in the history of the school. We also were Metro Champions in track. We had outstanding baseball and golf teams, too. The Class of 1966 is long remembered as a tough act to follow. We all had fun taking part in this bit of nostalgia. We look forward to seeing everyone again at our 20-Year Reunion where we can count gray hairs (if there are any left!) Thank you and have a good evening from the reunion committee.
