The MHS Class of 1966 recently celebrated their 60th anniversary with a luncheon at the high school cafeteria. Bright orange placemats and fall centerpieces adorned the black tables amid cherished posters, balloons, and displays of past celebrations. Memory boards were displayed along with a memory candle to honor classmates who had passed. Shirley Nelson welcomed the group followed by a blessing of the food by Ron Lofts.
Essenhaus of Middlebury catered the meal with fried chicken and marinated beef to the nearly 50 folks including colleagues from classes of ‘64, ‘65, ‘67 and ‘68. S
Suzanna Tudor brought a fine selection of cookies and brownies for dessert.
Following the meal Shirley Nelson read a personal poem “Kids of the Fifties.” Jerry Vanderhoof provided entertainment with picking and grinning songs. The gathering ended with a rousing “On Marcellus” lead by Barb Seelye and former cheerleaders.
Thank you to those who set up, cleaned up, and assisted with food placement. Chairpersons who helped arrange the gathering were Nancy Smoker, Suzanna Tudor, Shirley Nelson, and Barb Seelye.
