I do not have an official accounting of those present. Bonnie did mention that, except for the
Class of '42, every class from 1936 through 1959 was represented by at least one.
Thus; I have reviewed the mailing list, searched the photos I was able to take,
tried to remember the familiar faces I recognized that evening and I came up with
the following count (class members and spouses/quests) and photos:
CLASS OF '36-3 AND 1
 Class of '37-I am not sure
Class of '38-3 and 1
 Class of '39-5
 Class of '40-1
 Class of '41-2 and 1
 Class of '43-4 and 2
   Class of '44-6
 Class of 45-4 and 2
and
Class of 46-1
  Class of '47-7 and 1
 Class of '48-3and 2
Class of '49-2 and 1
  Class of '50-1
 Class of '51-6 and 3
  One for those who wish their photos were more flattering!
Two separate photos taken by our granddaughter (Rich is actually talking to her not yelling at me)
and merged into one in Adobe Photoshop,
compared to the cartoon ("Proof That Marriage Exists Among Animals",
and then further edited in Adobe.
   Class of '52-3
   Class of '53-9 and 3
       Class of '54-6 and 4
     Class of '55-13 and 6
Class of '56-3
(my only photo of next year's chair person, Jane Gwinn, was the back of her head)
  Class 0f '57-4 and 4
  Class of '58-2 and 2
 Class of '59-1 and 1
 and I believe that adds up to 124-Bonnie reports 126 reservations with 1 cancellation due to illness
 2005 Reunion Attendees: Carolyn (Reynolds) Clark and David Clark
Thanks to them for the two class photos provided;1930 and 1958.
Both of their fathers were Ball Township alumni (1930
 and  1933). Above, 5 of the 7 living Haines siblings who attended Ball Township High School-
