A Good Time Was Had By All...
On September 19 and 20, we celebrated the 60th anniversary of Arthur Hill's 1965 graduating class. What a fun weekend!
While the numbers were smaller than we had hoped for, there were plenty of old friends to reacquaint with and new friends to make.
Friday night was a casual Meet and Greet night with a cash bar and snacks. Comments of "OMG, you're here!' and 'I recognized you as soon as you walked in!' were commonplace. People got so involved in meeting, greeting, and catching after 60 years, that the snacks were practically ignored. Everyone there was involved. Not a single wall flower among us.
Saturday had a bit more to do: Mary Eaton set up tours of both Saginaw United High School and SASA. Saginaw United, (The Phoenixes) is the newly combined Saginaw High/Arthur Hill school. Located on the Saginaw River, it is a dream school! Beautiful, well equipped, great sports areas, and educational facilities. We wish them success!
SASA (Saginaw Arts and Sciences Academy) is located in our old halls of learning at AHHS. Those that toured said it was comfortably familiar yet up-dated enough to be new. Both tours were highly appreciated and thoroughly enjoyable.
That evening, besides a great buffet and dessets to die for, contributed by Ray and Norma Schmick, there was a photo circle and a videographer. The DJ played music of the 60's and 70's and some danced the night away.
As in most cases, however, people make plans and God laughs!
Dinner was planned for 7:00, but the hotel brought it out at 6:00. Once the dishes were out, there was no turning back of the hungry masses. Oh, well, we all had plenty to eat.
Half of those attending never left their conversations to have their photos taken. The same thing can be said about the video interviews. People were too interested in talking, laughing and dancing to get interviewed.
Next time, we'll do that before people sit down...like they do at proms.
Please, if you have any photos from our reunion, either post them yourself using the Photo Gallery, in the top left side column, or email them to Karen Hoerauf or Bob Hogg, and we will post them for you.
It was great to see all y'all. The survey we handed out, asked if we should do this again. The answer was a resounding "YES"! So,most likely we'll have another casual night in two years and a bigger reunion in 5 years. Watch forthem and keep your contact information up to date. That is your responsibility.
Tell your friends that missed our weekend, what a good time it was. Let them know our website is still going strong and that they, too, should update their contact info. That is their responsibility!
See you in two years,
