Casey High School Class of 1957 held their 55th Reunion Dinner on Saturday, 1 September 2012 at the First Christian Church in Casey.  The reunion was dampened a bit by sorly needed rain but everything went smoothly.  Bob Rue welcomed everyone, introduced our attending teacher, Doris Lee and a prayer was offered by Gene Southard .  

Prior to the meal, Bob Staley attempted to corral the class for a couple of pictures and during that event, we were led in an old Casey High cheer...Gimme' a C ....Gimmie' an A... etc., by Eleanor Evans and she demonstrated that she still maintains a bit of flexability as you will see below.  Afterward, we were treated to a catered buffet meal.

Bob introduced the MC, John Slusser , and the program proceeded.  Gene Southard and Kay Hunsaker honored those 29 classmates who have passed followed by Paul Stephen  honoring those members of the class who served and led us in the Pledge of Allegiance. 

The program continued with John Slusser's recollectiions of events which had occured during our time at CHS with participation of many of the class members including Linda Jensen's story about Ben Orrell and the bee up the nose.  Roger Smith and Bob Hunt came up with several trivia questions, of which many stumped the class.   Then Bob Cochonour presented awards to classmates for longest distance traveled, number of great grandchildren, married the longest, the oldest and many other such considerations.  For example, Eleanor received for being newlywed with instructions to split it with her husband because 2-1/2 hours should sufice at their age. Five might be problematic.

Finally, Bob Rue continued with a class meeting and it was voted that Bob Cochonour would be the organizer for the next class reunion. 

Closing was performed with a song from Linda Jensen and a prayer by Carl Anderson.

Special thanks to the CWHS Superindendent Dee Scott for reproducing our personal data sheets passed out at the reunion.  In addition, the school loaned us the slide show projector used to display the DVD Slide show mentioned below.

See you in 5 years!  Hard to believe, no?  What will have changed by then?
