Members of the Howard High School Class of 1955 recently celebrated their 68th reunion. This class was the first class to graduate from the then ‘new’ Howard School on June 3, 1955. That location housed grades 1 through 12.

Along with numerous friends and relatives the group celebrated at Cilla’s, an elegant event place located at Herman’s Restaurant. In addition to local members, various class members traveled from Illinois, New Jersey, and South Carolina.

This reunion program included reminiscing, class history, various speeches, poignant poems, and fun games, as well as playing the fabulous music from the day. The class maintains bridges of love.

The theme for this reunion was “We Came (into this world), We Saw (the results of many life experiences), and We Are Still Enjoying… To GOD Be The Glory!” Precious memories crowned this event.
