WE STARTED OUT AS FRESHMEN IN 1954
AT WAYNE COUNTY HIGH,
WE SOON GRADUATED AFTER FOUR YEARS
TELLING ALL OUR CLASSMATES GOODBYE.

THE FIRST SUMMER WERE OUT OF SCHOOL
WE LOST A DEAR CLASS MATE,
THERE ARE NOW A TOTAL OF SIXTEEN GONE
ACCORDING TO THE LAST GIVEN DATE.

SOON WE HAD JOBS OR WENT TO COLLEGE
AS WE BEGAN A NEW LIFE - SOME FAR AWAY,
SOME OF US GOT MARRIED - HAD A FAMILY
KEEPING BUSY WITH PLANS FOR EACH DAY.

AFTER TWENTY YEARS WE MET AGAIN
THE YEARS WERE BEGINNING TO PASS,
WE ENJOYED THE GET-TOGETHER
SHARING MEMORIES THAT WOULD LAST.

WE HAD TWO MORE REUNIONS AFTER THAT
SHARING STORIES AND HAVING FUN,
THE BIG PICNIC AT MILL SPRINGS AT FORTY-FIVE
CHICKEN, COLE SLAW AND PICTURES IN THE SUN.

WE JUST HAD A BIG REUNION AFTER FIFTY YEARS
IT WAS GOOD TO SEE ALL THAT CAME,
SOME OF US HAD CHANGED IN LOOKS
SOME OF US LOOKED ABOUT THE SAME.

A STRANGER WALKS THROUGH THE DOOR
SOMEONE WE HAD NOT SEEN IN YEARS,
WHO COULD THAT BE - THEY HAD REALLY CHANGED
THEN WE RECOGNIZED AND HUG AND SHED TEARS.

AT ELEVEN WE MET FOR SANDWICHES
SEEING EACH OTHER AGAIN WAS A DELIGHT,
WE SHARED A WONDERFUL SATURDAY AFTERNOON
EVERYONE LOOKING FORWARD TO A BIG NIGHT.

WE LIGHT A CANDLE IN MEMORY
FOR EACH ONE THAT IS GONE,
OUR FEELINGS FOR EACH OF THOSE
ARE STILL VERY VERY STRONG.

EVERYONE COULD NOT MAKE IT - ONLY TWENTY NINE
WE LISTENED TO MUSIC FROM 1958,
TOOK PICTURES - SPENT TIME TOGETHER
ATE A MEAL AND STAYED RATHER LATE.

WE WANT TO CONTINUE TO SEE EACH OTHER
WITH THE HELP OF A NAME LABEL,
IN CASE WE CHANGE IN ANOTHER COUPLE YEARS
TO ATTEND WE ARE STILL ABLE !!

IT IS A LOT OF WORK TO HAVE A REUNION
BUT SO NICE TO HAVE HAD ANOTHER ONE,
WE CONSIDER OURSELVES A SPECIAL CLASS
TOGETHER WE HAVE SO MUCH FUN.
