Tom's 45th high school reunion

In May, 1956 forty-five seniors passed through the doors of Woodbine High School for the last time as students .  This year, we celebrated that event with a 45th reunion for those 45 students.  Vern and Nancy Foutch were kind enough to host the event at their house.  We were late in getting organized for pictures so unfortunately, we don't have Jim Brace because he had left before we started taking pictures.  Except for Jim, here are the pictures of those in attendance.
 

These four students started their schooling in Woodbine Elementary School in the first grade. From left to right, Connie (Reynolds) Adams, Dale Boone, Catherine (Hickey) Logeman, and Jerry Mathison.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

In the third grade, Mary Jane (Leonard) Foutch joined these four original classmates.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

During the fifth grade, Tom Adams also joined the class.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Now, we have the category I refer to as "town kids" versus the "country kids" (next photo).  Someone ask John Garvin why he's in both of these pictures?
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Notice how the "town kids" were outnumbered by the "country kids", at least for this reunion.  Front row, left to right, Vern Foutch, Carolyn (Hansen) Waldemar, John Garvin, LaVonne (Speake) Jones.  Back row, left to right, Norma (Hillyer) Archer, Lloyd DeForest, Richard Peterson, Leland Lantz, Beverly (Casperson) Steddom, Marilyn (Alvis) Mefferd, John Kerger.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Here's everyone!  Notice we added a new person, front row, center, Roy Roed.  Roy and his wife were also able to attend our reunion.

That evening, many of us also attended the Alumni Banquet held at the Shadow Valley Golf Course Clubhouse west of town.  In addition, Arvin Peters and his wife were there even though they were unable to attend the reunion during the afternoon.  Classmates were seated at three different tables so I'm including pictures of each table.
 

Going around the table in a clockwise direction it's Lloyd DeForest, Norma (Hillyer) Archer, Norma's husband, Mary Jane (Leonard) Foutch, Arvin's wife, Arvin Peters.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Again, going clockwise around the table, Tom Adams, Dale Boone, Leland's wife, Leland Lantz, Beverly (Casperson) Steddom, Vern Foutch, Vern's wife.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Last table, left to right, Carolyn (Hansen) Waldemar, John's guest, John Garvin.
 
 










Looking forward to seeing EVERYONE in five years at our 50th class reunion.
